Antibacterial

Bacterial protein quantity became significantly different only by the 21st day. Fluoride in rinse and gel proved to be superior to NaF in aqueous solution or no treatment (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). However, the discs treated with fluoride in gel showed signs of corrosion in SEM images. Conclusion: The results suggest that the use of fluoride-containing mouthwashes might be the best and safest oral hygienic choice for patients with oral implants. Furthermore, Olaflur seems to be superior to NaF for long-term use at low pH. [2]

Three antiseptic (chlorhexidine, Olaflur, Octenisept) and one putative antiadhesive (chitosan) agent were investigated for their effect on viable planktonic and attached Streptococcus sanguinis cells. The bacterial pretreatment with each chemotherapeutic was performed in two steps: (i) After the exposure of planktonic streptococci to the antiseptics, the cells were suspended in human sterile saliva and allowed to attach to human enamel for 60 min; (ii) After 60 min in the flow chamber system, initially attached streptococci were treated with these agents. The microbial viability was monitored by the percentage of vital streptococci determined by fluorescence microscopy and cell reproduction. In comparison with the negative control NaCl, the non-bactericidal chitosan derivative showed distinctive antiadhesive properties. For both treatment procedures, the efficacy of the antiseptics in reducing the viability of planktonic and attached streptococci was Octenisept > Olaflur > chlorhexidine > saline > chitosan. Further studies appear warranted to develop new antiplaque/antibiofilm strategies involving highly efficient bactericidals with antiadhesive formulations. [2]

Enolase and ATPase are sensitive to fluoride. It is unclear whether this sensitivity differs for F-sensitive and F-resistant cells or for different types of fluoride. Permeabilized cells of the fluoride-sensitive strain Streptococcus mutans C180-2 and its fluoride-resistant mutant strain C180-2 FR were preincubated at pH 7 or 4 with NaF, the amine fluorides Olaflur and Dectaflur and amine chloride controls. After preincubations, enolase and ATPase activities of the cells were assessed. Enolase activity was more inhibited after preincubation at pH 7 with NaF than with Olaflur. Amine chloride stimulated, although not with statistical significance, the enolase activity of both strains. After preincubation at pH 4 the enolases were strongly inactivated, but the fluoride-resistant strain's enolase to a lesser extent. The results suggested that amine acts to protect enolase activity against the detrimental low pH effect. Gene sequencing showed that the enolase genes of the fluoride-resistant and fluoride-sensitive strain were identical. ATPase activity was not reduced after NaF preincubation at either pH 7 or pH 4. The amine fluorides and their chloride controls in the preincubation mixture reduced the ATPase activity significantly at both pH values. In conclusion, our results showed that preincubation with amine fluoride did not inhibit enolase activity more effectively than NaF. The amine part of the molecule may protect enolase activity against preincubations at low pH. ATPase activity was not inhibited by NaF preincubation but was significantly inhibited after preincubation with amine fluorides and amine chlorides. [3]

Ti discs with polished surface were treated with a rinse containing 0.025% Olaflur, a gel containing 1.25% Olaflur, or a 1% aqueous solution of NaF (pH 4.5), and they were incubated with S mutans for 21 days. Control discs did not get prophylactic treatment. Protein assay analysis was performed at regular intervals to estimate the amount of S mutans. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images were also taken.[2]

Olaflur which is also referred to as elmex gel is an ingredient used in toothpaste which helps in the prevention of dental caries. OLAFLUR is a small molecule drug with a maximum clinical trial phase of II.

Acidic pH and high fluoride (F(-)) concentration impair the corrosion resistance of titanium (Ti). Caries-preventive products contain high amounts of F(-) and are applied at low pH. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether fluoride applied in different forms has different short-, mid-, and long-term effects on the growth of the bacteria Streptococcus mutans.[2]
