Probiotics are increasingly used to promote oral health, with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus demonstrating proven effectiveness. Additionally, Heyndrickxia coagulans shows promising potential in this field. Chewing gum has recently been proposed as an innovative delivery method for probiotics. This study aimed evaluate the kinetics saliva of SNZ1969® and GG microencapsulated non-microencapsulated forms (LGG®) following their administration via sugar-free chewing gums. A randomized cross-over trial was conducted involving 10 volunteers. Participants chewed gums containing one probiotic strains min. Saliva samples were collected at baseline (T0) six subsequent time points over 2 h (T1–T6). Colony-forming units (CFUs) identified quantified.

Abstract: Acne vulgaris is a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by comedones, papules, and pustules, with significant physical psychological implications. Conventional treatments for this condition, including antibiotics retinoids, face challenges, such as side effects antibiotic resistance, necessitating alternative treatments. Recent studies show the potential of probiotics to modulate skin microbiome alleviate acne symptoms. Therefore, study aimed consolidate evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) clinical investigations, evaluating efficacy in management. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane databases using several keywords, "probiotic", "microbiome", "acne vulgaris". Inclusion criteria are RCTs 2009 2024 examining treatment. Studies were selected, screened, analyzed based on population, intervention, design, results. Descriptive statistics used summarize characteristics. Fifteen 811 participants met inclusion criteria. The tested various oral topical probiotics, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bacillus , Enterococcus strains, over treatment periods ranging 4 12 weeks. results showed that reduced lesions, improved barrier function, decreased inflammatory markers.
