Summary

Delmopinol inhibits oral bacteria adhesion, showing plaque reduction potential. However, its efficacy and side effects limit its use as a chlorhexidine alternative for dental plaque control.

Area of Science:

  • Oral microbiology
  • Preventive dentistry

Background:

  • Dental caries and gingivitis prevention rely on reducing dental plaque.
  • Antibacterial agents can supplement mechanical plaque removal.
  • Delmopinol is a novel agent that inhibits oral microorganism adhesion to teeth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the plaque inhibitory potential of delmopinol.
  • To compare delmopinol's efficacy and side effects with existing agents.
  • To assess delmopinol's potential as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control.

Main Methods:

  • Review of numerous studies on delmopinol's effects on oral microorganisms and dental plaque.
  • Analysis of delmopinol's efficacy and side effect profile.
  • Identification of research gaps regarding comparisons with other antibacterial agents.

Main Results:

  • Delmopinol demonstrated plaque inhibitory potential in multiple studies.
  • Delmopinol exhibits lower efficacy and similar side effects to chlorhexidine.
  • Current evidence does not support delmopinol as a chlorhexidine alternative.

Conclusions:

  • Delmopinol may be considered for long-term use alongside mechanical plaque control.
  • Further studies are needed to compare delmopinol with other agents like amine fluoride/stannous fluoride, triclosan/copolymer, and cetylpyridinium chloride.
