Yeast cell wall derivatives as a potential strategy for modulating oral microbiota and dental plaque biofilm
This study has demonstrated the potential of yeast cell wall derivatives to positively impact oral health by significantly reducing biofilm density, modulating the oral microbial composition, and decreasing the production of short-chain fatty acids. The observed effects highlight the promising applications of these yeast-based compounds as an approach to managing oral diseases. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of action and explore the clinical potential of yeast cell wall derivatives in promoting and maintaining oral health.
