The human oral microbiome contains over 700 bacterial species, with disruptions to this ecosystem contributing to common conditions like dental caries and periodontal disease. Traditional antimicrobial approaches often disturb beneficial bacterial populations while attempting to control pathogenic species, leading to temporary improvements followed by microbial dysbiosis.

The key challenge lies in selectively managing oral pathogens while supporting beneficial bacterial communities that maintain long-term oral health.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including targeted bacteriocin-producing strains like Streptococcus salivarius, specialized Bacillus species for cavity prevention, and novel probiotic delivery systems using adherent strips and alkaline matrices. These and other approaches focus on establishing stable, health-promoting oral microbial communities through precise biological interventions.
