“…However, fluoride agents at high levels can cause adverse effects. Excessive exposure to fluoride in children during the formation of permanent teeth can lead to enamel mineralization defects, characterizing dental fluorosis [ 51 ]. In a study by Haraszthy et al [ 52 ], the analyzed fluoride-containing dentifrices showed different antimicrobial effects.…”

Efficacy of Antimicrobial Agents in Dentifrices: A Systematic Review

2022

The aim of this systematic review was to verify if the presence of different antimicrobial agents in dentifrices is effective in reducing the number of microorganisms for disease prevention. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and was registered with the Open Science Framework (OSF). A search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Two independent authors reviewed the titles and abstracts according to the inclusion criteria, which comprised in vitro studies published in English that evaluated the efficacy of antimicrobial agents in dentifrices and their antimicrobial activity. A total of 527 articles were found. Of these, 334 were included for reading of the title and abstract, and 69 were selected for reading in full. In the end, 39 articles remained in this review. Triclosan, sodium fluoride, and sodium monofluorophosphate were the most commonly used chemical antimicrobial agents. Among the herbal agents, miswak extract and neem extract were the most commonly used. The presence of antimicrobial agents in dentifrice formulations can promote the reduction of the number of microorganisms involved in oral diseases, but with variations in their effectiveness, depending on the agent used and the microorganism evaluated.

“…These compounds are usually included in toothpastes or mouthwash. Several reports have showed that distinct alcoholic herbal extracts present in vitro antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens, namely, extracts from Eugenia uniflora , Rosmarinus officinalis , Myrciaria cauliflora , Nasturtium officinale , Lawsonia inermis , Malva sylvestris , Boswellia serrata , Salvia officinallis , Myristica fragrans , Myracrodruon urundeuva , Punica granatum , and from the edible mushrooms Lentinula edodes or Cichorium intybus [ 53 , 57 ].…”

“…In addition, essential oils obtained from plants have also been reported to have in vitro antimicrobial activity against periodontopathogens such as oils obtained from Lippia sidoides , Syzygium aromaticum , Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Cymbopogon citratus , Aloe vera gel ( Figure 3 ), Matricaria recutita , Rosmarinus officinalis , Copaifera officinalis , Ferula assa , Rhododendron groenlandicum , Mentha piperita L., or Satureja montana L. [ 50 , 51 , 53 , 55 , 56 ]. Beyond its in vitro activity, a mouth rinse with Lippia sidoides essential oil has been proven to reduce gingivitis and dental plaque index in dogs [ 50 , 51 ].…”

“…Beyond its in vitro activity, a mouth rinse with Lippia sidoides essential oil has been proven to reduce gingivitis and dental plaque index in dogs [ 50 , 51 ]. In addition, mouthwashes and toothpastes containing Calendula officinalis have been shown to present in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens, with significant activity on gingival tissues [ 53 ]. Schinus terebinthifolius presented inhibitory activity in oral microorganisms and anti-inflammatory ability, revealing potential to be used in gingivitis treatment or control.…”

Revisiting Periodontal Disease in Dogs: How to Manage This New Old Problem?

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent oral inflammatory diseases in dogs. PD onset begins with the formation of a polymicrobial biofilm (dental plaque) on the surface of the teeth, followed by a local host inflammatory response. To manage this disease, several procedures focusing on the prevention and control of dental plaque establishment, as well as on the prevention of local and systemic PD-related consequences, are essential. The removal of dental plaque and the inhibition of its formation can be achieved by a combination of dental hygiene homecare procedures including tooth brushing, the application of different oral products and the use of specific diet and chew toys, and regular professional periodontal procedures. Additionally, in some cases, periodontal surgery may be required to reduce PD progression. Associated with these measures, host modulation therapy, antimicrobial therapy, and other innovative therapeutic options may be useful in PD management. Moreover, PD high prevalence and its relation with potential local and systemic consequences reinforce the need for investment in the development of new preventive measures, treatments, and oral procedures to improve the control of this disease in dogs. Knowledge on the specific guidelines and diversity of the available products and procedures are fundamental to apply the most adequate treatment to each dog with PD.

In Vivo Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Nisin–Biogel as a New Approach for Canine Periodontal Disease Control

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Periodontal disease (PD) is a common oral disease in dogs. Recent in vitro research revealed that nisin–biogel is a promising compound for canine PD control. In this work, a clinical trial was developed to assess the in vivo efficacy of nisin–biogel in dogs by determining the dental plaque index (DPI), gingivitis index (GI), and periodontal pocket depth (PPD) after dental administration. The biogel’s influence on aerobic bacteria counts was also evaluated, as well as its acceptance/adverse effects in dogs. Twenty animals were allocated to one of two groups: a treatment group (TG) subjected to a dental topical application of nisin–biogel for 90 days and a control group (CG) with no treatment. Besides daily monitoring, on day 1 (T0) and at the end of the assay (T90), animals were subjected to blood analysis, periodontal evaluation, dental plaque sampling, scaling, and polishing. Statistical analysis with mixed models showed a significant reduction in mean PPD (estimate = −0.371, p-value < 0.001) and DPI (estimate = −0.146, p-value < 0.05) in the TG animals at T90. A reduction in the GI (estimate = −0.056, p-value > 0.05) was also observed but with no statistical significance. No influence on total bacterial counts was observed, and no adverse effects were detected. The nisin–biogel was revealed to be a promising compound for canine PD control.
