Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate the colonization efficacy (the ability of a probiotic bacteria to remain in the mouth) delivered in a chewing gum format. The chewing gum contains Streptococcus salivarius probiotic and the study is to be done in health adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single blind, randomized controlled study to evaluate the colonization effectiveness of a chewing gum containing a commercially available probiotic bacterium. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups consuming chewing gum containing Streptococcus salivarius M18 over a 7-day period. Saliva samples will be collected at pre determined points (pre and post intervention). Colonization efficacy will be determined by enumerating the probiotic from the saliva samples using standard microbiological techniques.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups consuming chewing gum containing Streptococcus salivarius M18.

Group A: Probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 chewing gum (dose: 1 billion colony forming units per gum tablet) and chew for 5 minutes duration.

Group B: Probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 chewing gum (dose: 1 billion colony forming units per gum tablet) and chew for 10-20 minutes

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Streptococcus salivarius M18 probiotic 1 billion colony forming units chewing gum: Chew 5 minutes

Streptococcus salivarius M18 chewing gum 1 billion cfu chewing the gum for 5 minutes duration.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Streptococcus salivarius M18 probiotic 1 billion colony forming units chewing gum (chew 5 minutes)

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 products are commercially available in traditional formats such as a chewable tablet (lozenge) for local delivery to the oral cavity to provide health benefits. In this study, a chewing gum formulation will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 to the oral cavity.
