Brief summary: The aim of the study is to assess the effect of oral probiotics containing Streptococcus salivarius M18 on gingivitis and oral hygiene in young adults.

Detailed description: This will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled two-arm parallel-group study of the effect of oral probiotics containing Streptococcus salivarius M18 on gingivitis and oral hygiene. The groups will include young adults with gingivitis diagnosed clinically. To assess the effect of oral probiotics, the following parameters will be used: gingival index, GI; gingival bleeding index, GBI and oral hygiene level (the Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index, TMQHPI).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged between 18-25 years
* Permanent bite;
* Presence of more than 20 teeth;
* Absence of systemic and chronic diseases;
* The diagnosis of gingivitis stated clinically.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of mild, moderate or severe chronic periodontitis;
* Refusal to sign informed consent;
* Taking supplements and medication containing probiotics or prebiotics 1 months before the study;
* Taking antibiotics (within 3 months before the study);
* Allergy to the components of the drugs used in the study;
* Presence of immunodeficiency, taking immunosuppressants.
* Use of other hygiene products, immunostimulants and antibacterials, probiotics, prebiotics during the study;
* Refusal to take a given medication;
* Failure to attend check-ups.
