Decapinol Mouthwash 300ml Delmopinol, a surface-active cationic agent is the key ingredient in Decapinol®. It is able to form a barrier that reduces surface tension on the teeth and gums and inhibits bacterial glycosyl transferases, preventing microbial adhesion and colonisation on their surface, thus hampering the adherence of bacteria and significantly slowing the formation of new plaque without altering the oral bacteria flora. ? Decapinol® (delmopinol) inhibits plaque formation by interfering with the process - working at the interface between dental plaque bacteria and the surface of the tooth/gingiva. Decapinol® has a significant effect in reducing plaque and penetrating existing plaque to destabilise it. ? Decapinol® prevents plaque adhering to the teeth. ? Decapinol® also interferes with the glycosyl transferases, which are responsible for the production of polysaccharide (the glue or cement that is critical for plaque build up). This results in less cohesive and less adhesive plaque bacteria, making plaque easier to remove by conventional tooth brushing techniques. Decapinol® promotes a healthy balance of oral microflora and protects gently and safely against gingivitis. Decapinol® maintains a healthy level of plaque but prevents excessive build up and colonisation by harmful bacteria. This is similar to the pro-biotic approach taken when using pro-biotic lactobacillus-based yoghur Minimize
