Abstract:
This study describes properties of potential sustained release varnishes (SRV) containing amine fluoride or amine fluoride with stannous fluoride. The release kinetics, antibacterial properties and antiadhesion properties of two potential varnishes were tested. The varnish of ethylcellulose matrix was found to release fluoride for 4 h in vitro, while the formulation based on hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate had a rapid release rate. Hydroxyapatite tablets coated with ethylcellulose-based SRV increased adhesion of Streptococcus mutans, while tablets coated with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate-based SRV decreased bacterial adhesion. Both types of SRV demonstrated a strong antibacterial effect on bacteria in biofilm.
