Abstract

Aim: To assess the awareness of probiotic among general dentists in Chennai.
Materials and Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted among 100 general dental practitioners through a questionnaire about the awareness of probiotics and its effects and usage.
Result: All the participants were aware of probiotics but the awareness about its constituents, benefits and usage was considerably less. Though majority of the participants were aware of the benefits of probiotics almost one third of them did not prescribe.
Conclusion: Though beneficial, lack of adequate knowledge regarding probiotics limited its usage among general dentists in Chennai
