The effect of commercial functional food with probiotics on microorganisms from early carious lesions

Abstract Caries rates in school-age children are still high enough to be the cause of serious concern for health systems in different countries. The biotechnology strategies studied to decrease these rates include the consumption of probiotics—available via a variety of functional foods obtainable o...
