|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combined probiotics (1) | Dietary Supplement | Subjects used one oral combined probiotics (1) tablet each morning, noon, and evening for 4 weeks. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The change from baseline colony-forming unit (CFU) of Streptococcus mutans at 4 weeks. | The plaque on the inside and outside of teeth was collected by cotton swab and putting in the microbial culture broth before and after taking the oral tablets. The microbial culture broth will be diluted and smeared on the mitis salivarius-bacitracin agar (MSBA) plate for counting the CFU of Streptococcus mutans. | 4 weeks. |
| The change from baseline concentration of saliva immunoglobulin A (IgA) at 4 weeks. | The saliva was collected by the centrifuge tube before and after taking the oral tablets. IgA will be detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). | 4 weeks. |
| The change from baseline microbiota at 4 weeks. | The saliva was collected by the next-generation sequencing (NGS) saliva collection tube before and after taking the oral tablets. The changes in microbial flora will be detected by NGS. | 4 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The change from baseline CFU of total oral microbiota at 4 weeks. | The plaque on the inside and outside of teeth was collected by cotton swab and putting in the microbial culture broth before and after taking the oral tablets. The microbial culture broth will be diluted and smeared on the plate count agar (PCA) plate for counting the CFU of total oral microbiota. | 4 weeks. |
