Laboratory and clinical studies have shown a reduction in dental plaque and bleeding of the gums, and additionally antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous, and antioxidant properties. Caries-related Streptococcus mutans and candidosis- related Candida levels are reduced as well as periodontal disease- related pathogen levels. Levels of lactobacilli on the other hand are increased, which is thought to be a beneficial probiotic effect balancing the oral microbiota.

Additionally, Lingora alleviates the symptoms caused by dry-mouth, also known as xerostomia, by increasing saliva secretion. Saliva production is essential for maintaining good oral health. It helps wash away food particles, neutralises acids, and provides minerals that are important for tooth remineralisation. Saliva also contains enzymes that help digest food and destroy bacteria that can cause oral infections.

The research shows bacterial population of Streptococcus mutans is significantly reduced as result of Lingora® use. Streptococcus mutans is a bacterium that is a significant contributor to tooth decay.

The research also shows that the level of Candida is significantly reduced after using Lingora®.
Oral Candida is a yeast that is a normal part of the oral microbiota, but can cause infections if left untreated.
Oral Candida infections can cause a variety of symptoms, such as white patches on the tongue, throat, or inner cheeks, redness or soreness in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, and cracking at the corners of the mouth.
