BioGaia Philippines (BGP), in collaboration with Dr. Gil Joseph Octaviano III, held a science seminar on August 12, 2025 at the Richmonde Hotel, Iloilo City. Aimed at promoting oral probiotics, Prodentis®︎, across the Visayas region, the event welcomed local dentists and many other healthcare professionals. Our sincere thanks to all who attended.
Program Highlights
Speaker: Dr. Jane Erica Acosta (Official BGP Speaker)
As BGP’s official speaker, Dr. Acosta presented BioGaia’s philosophy and product lineup, with a practical, clinic-focused overview of Prodentis.
Scientific Evidence
Highlights of international clinical studies were shared to substantiate the efficacy of L. reuteri oral probiotics, Prodentis®︎, with evidence-based clarity.
Voices from the Field
We featured feedback from dentists and patients who have used Prodentis over time, highlighting implementation essentials—dosing timing, patient counseling, and strategies for adherence.
Participant Engagement and Takeaways
The Q&A extended for over an hour, driven by implementation-oriented questions directly relevant to clinical practice.
“The perspective that oral health is linked to systemic health was compelling.”
“The clinical evidence for Prodentis increased my confidence.”
“Learning the onboarding steps and real-world user experience was very helpful.”
Overall, interest in probiotics × oral care continues to rise, with practical use cases drawing attention in prevention, periodontics, pediatrics, and orthodontics.
