Antibacterial efficacy after Incorporation of CPPACP (GC Tooth Mousse™) into glass Ionomer cement against Streptococcus Mutans: A preliminary in vitro study

Abstract

Casein Phosphopeptide- Amorphous Calcium Phosphate
(CPP-ACP) are nano complexes which have been shown to
prevent demineralization and promote remineralization.[1]
CPP-ACP has been shown to interact with fluoride ions
to produce an additive anti-cariogenic effect through
formation of stabilized amorphous calcium fluoride
phosphate phase.[2] Thus, this study was done to evaluate
and compare the antibacterial efficacy of Glass Ionomer
Cement, CCP-ACP (GC Tooth Mousse) incorporated into
Glass Ionomer Cement, CCP-ACP (GC Tooth Mousse)
against standard strains of Streptococcus Mutans(MTCC
Number 25175)
