Scholarcy highlights
- A number of six healthy subjects carried bovine enamel slabs fixed on individual upper jaw splints for pellicle formation in situ
- Separate experiments were performed for the different enzymes and mouth rinses, respectively
- None of the investigated rinses had any significant impact on the activities of lysozyme, peroxidase and glucoseoxidase detectable in the in situ pellicle or in the saliva
- Despite the fact that both products should contain lactoperoxidase activity according to manufacturers’ instructions, no peroxidase activity was measurable in the pure mouth rinses
- With the tested enzymatic mouth rinses targeted accumulation and immobilisation of protective enzymes in the in situ pellicle did not seem possible
