Periodontal disease consists of cycles of active destruction (periodontitis) and dormancy leading to progressive breakdown of tooth attachment.
Preventing plaque formation stops the progression of periodontal disease. |

Dentagen – Discovery of a novel solution for dental plaque control
Hundreds of plant extracts and plant fractions were tested for their inhibitory potential on plaque formation.
The natural anti-plaque compound was elucidated and coded RF2.
All products in the Dentagen range contain the active principle RF2.
Dentagen – Controlling biofilm
Traditional methods of dental plaque control have relied upon mechanical or bactericidal actions to destroy the normal mouth flora. However, biofilm formation begins immediately after this treatment. So unless performed regularly significant plaque reformation will occur.
Dentagen provides a different approach to dental plaque control. By affecting bacterial membrane fluidity, planktonic cells are able to exist but without the ability to form biofilm1. Even at very low concentrations, plaque inhibition is continuous. RF2 is not bactericidal and allows the natural and healthy mouth and gut flora to exist without promoting dental disease.
