Table 2.

Probiotic-based therapy for prevention of peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis process

Probiotic composition Efficacy References
Lactobacillus species

•Inhibit the pathogenic bacteria S. mutans, A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis and P. intermedia;

•Strongest antimicrobial activity was associated with L. paracasei, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus and L. salivarius

[60]
L. reuteri

•Slight decreasing of peri-implantitis rate;

•Reduction of periodontal and peri-implantitis related species, as P. gingivalis;

•Prevention of inflammation, reducing mucositis process;

•Clinically effective in terms of pocket depth reduction in this peri-implantitis treatment, but without reaching baseline levels

[5964]
S. salivarius

•Bacteriocin produced by S. salivarius inhibit the quorum-sensing signals and reducing the S. intermedius biofilm formation in titanium implant surface;

•May be ineffective in peri‐implant disease treatment, when caused by C. albicans pathogen
