Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bacillus species, especially Bacillus clausii, have been investigated for their probiotic role in oral health, including applications relevant to oral surgery. Scientific studies suggest that Bacillus-based probiotics may help reduce postoperative infections, promote healing, and modulate the oral microbiome after procedures such as tooth extractions or implant placement. The proposed mechanisms include inhibition of pathogenic bacteria, modulation of local immune responses, and support of mucosal barrier function.

However, direct, high-quality clinical evidence for Bacillus use specifically to support or treat outcomes following oral surgery is still limited. Some small-scale randomized controlled trials and pilot studies indicate reduced incidence of alveolar osteitis (dry socket) and postoperative infections when Bacillus probiotics are administered, but these findings are not universally replicated or robust. Most available data come from broader studies on probiotics in dental and oral health, rather than oral surgery specifically.

In summary, the use of Bacillus in oral surgery is supported by preliminary scientific evidence suggesting potential benefits, but the overall quality and quantity of evidence are modest. Larger, well-controlled clinical trials are needed to clarify its efficacy and inform recommendations for routine use in this context.
