The article presents the results of a study which investigated the effect of cetylpyridinium chloride and a synthetic antimicrobial peptide, delivered in a chewing gum base, on the growth of oral biofilms. Details of the experimental protocol are provided. It was found that this method was an effective means of killing biofilm cells, and destroying the viability and structural integrity of dental plaque biofilms. The advantages of delivering the peptide in a chewing gum matrix are noted, and the varying degrees of bactericidal effect produced by varying dosages are delineated. |
