Development of anti-plaque products

Innovative anti plaque compounds need to be identified among large number of molecules and extracts of comestible substances. They have to be tested on as many as possible of the numerous bacterial species found in the mouth and in the dental plaque. Obviously, being active against planctonik bacteria isn’t enough: the compounds have to be tested on biofilms.

At BioFilm Control we have developed the technology and the service that will make the difference.

The BioFilm Ring Test allows us to measure the effect of antiplaque compounds against biofilms:

How they affect the rate of growth of the biofilm
How they affect the adherence of the biofilm and its resistance to mechanical stress
How they affect the biofilm once it is formed

Naturally, we can complete our core technology with additional techniques, such as Cristal Violet staining, permeability measurements, etc… In other words, we can offer you tailored service that will allow you gain maximal understanding of your compounds’ effects. Because we enable high-throughput measurements of key biofilm parameters, it is also possible to test combination of compounds and different formulations on large numbers of bacteria species and strains.

Thanks to our unique technological offers, your anti-plaque compounds will provide unique and proven features. This will lead to efficient products and treatments and allow you to market them at premium prices and keep your clients satisfied.
