Probiotics are a group of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host by colonizing the body and changing the composition of the host flora in a certain area. It is a single microorganism or a mixture of microorganisms with well-defined composition that can produce beneficial effects on health by regulating the immune function of the host mucosa and system or by regulating the balance of flora in the intestine and promoting nutrient absorption to maintain a healthy intestine.

Dr. Westersund's T-Scan World Tour
**Dr. Westersund's T-Scan World Tour**
Dr. Curtis Westersund, based in Calgary, Canada, is a leading figure in the realm of dental health, particularly renowned for his expertise in treating TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, and chronic pain. His dedication to advancing dental science has taken him across continents, where he delivers insightful lectures to dental professionals worldwide.
In his own words, "Dental malocclusions often lie at the heart of many frustrating dental issues. Grasping how digital occlusal technology can alleviate the physiological stress caused by malocclusions is crucial for improving patient outcomes. My focus is on identifying how malocclusions initially lead to problems and then leveraging T-Scan technology to resolve them effectively."
Dr. Westersund has contributed significantly to the field through publications like the *Handbook of Research on Computerized Occlusal Analysis Technology Applications in Dental Medicine* and articles in *CRANIO®: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice*.
