Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Bacillus species, particularly as mixed probiotic formulations (e.g., Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus clausii), have been explored for their supportive role in oral surgery, primarily due to their potential to modulate oral microbiota, reduce pathogenic bacterial colonization, and possibly enhance wound healing. Several small-scale clinical trials and animal studies have investigated the adjunctive use of Bacillus-based probiotics in dental and oral surgery settings. Evidence suggests that these probiotics may help decrease postoperative infections, reduce inflammation, and improve clinical outcomes such as faster healing and reduced discomfort after procedures like tooth extraction or implant placement.
However, while there is a growing body of literature supporting the use of probiotics in oral health, specific, robust, and large-scale studies focusing on Bacillus species in the context of oral surgery are limited. Most available studies feature small sample sizes, short follow-up periods, or include Bacillus as part of a multi-species probiotic blend, making it difficult to isolate its specific effects. The overall quality of evidence is moderate to low, and systematic reviews generally call for larger, well-designed randomized controlled trials to validate these findings.
In summary, some scientific evidence exists for the potential benefits of Bacillus (mixed) probiotics in oral surgery support, but current evidence is not strong, and the use should be considered adjunctive rather than primary therapy.
