A study was conducted in 40 healthy, randomly selected, client-owned, mixed and purebred dogs to assess the efficacy of a barrier dental sealant. All dogs showed evidence of dental plaque, calculus, or gingivitis. The dental sealant was applied to one side of the mouth following a professional teeth cleaning procedure and reapplied weekly for 8-weeks following the cleaning procedure. Dental parameters evaluated included plaque, calculus, gingivitis, and gingival bleeding indices. A statistically significant difference was detected between treated and untreated teeth compared with baseline values for plaque and calculus at weeks 4 and 8, gingivitis at week 4, and gingival bleeding time at week 8. A professional teeth cleaning procedure followed by a single application of the barrier dental sealant and weekly reapplication performed by a veterinarian or veterinary technician provided significant improvement in plaque and calculus indices during an 8-week period.
对40只随机挑选的、客户拥有的健康混血和纯种犬进行了一项研究，以评估一种屏障型牙齿密封剂的疗效。所有犬只均有牙菌斑、牙结石或牙龈炎的迹象。在专业洗牙程序后，将牙齿密封剂应用于口腔一侧，并在洗牙程序后的8周内每周重新涂抹一次。评估的牙齿参数包括牙菌斑、牙结石、牙龈炎和牙龈出血指数。与基线值相比，在第4周和第8周时，治疗侧与未治疗侧的牙菌斑和牙结石、第4周时的牙龈炎以及第8周时的牙龈出血时间均有统计学上的显著差异。由兽医或兽医技术人员进行的专业洗牙程序，随后单次应用屏障型牙齿密封剂并每周重新涂抹，在8周内使牙菌斑和牙结石指数有了显著改善。
