According to recent research, it has been found out that higher concentrations (i.e. 2%/4%) of Arg in 5% NaF varnish have the potential to modulate the biochemical composition of the biofilm growing on the treated enamel.
The study is published in the Journal of Dentistry.
Mohammed Nadeem Bijle and colleagues from the Paediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong conducted the present study to examine the biochemical components of multi-species biofilm on the arginine (Arg)-sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish-treated enamel following bacterial pH-cycling.
