The immune system and resistance to diseases is largely dependent on human nutrition. In recent literature, there is convincing evidence of the influence of mucosal microbiota on mucosal immunity and as a consequence on the implementation of inflammation. It is also well know that dental disease is closely associated with the violation of oral microflora. The investigation of the state of dental biofilm and evaluation of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) level against the background of use of adapted milk formulas with probiotics in children aged one year to four years were performed. The 53 children were under observation; milk formulas with probiotics were introduced in the diet in 27 children, and comparison group consisted of 26 children. Also, controlled hygiene lessons were conducted in both groups for 3 months. The study showed improvement in hygiene index in both groups, reduction of frequency of detection of representatives of cariogenic microorganisms in dental biofilms, and normalization of the sIgA level in saliva of children who received infant formula with probiotics.
