Evaluation of a Barrier Dental Sealant in Dogs
A study of 40 healthy, randomly selected, client-owned, mixed- and pure-breed dogs with dental plaque, calculus or gingivitis assessed the efficacy of a barrier dental sealant.1

A single application of a high-viscosity barrier dental sealant following a professional teeth cleaning procedure and weekly application of a low-viscosity formulation of the same sealant (OraVet) provided significant reduction in plaque and calculus.
Parameters evaluated included plaque, calculus, gingival bleeding and gingivitis indices.
Cumulative mean difference between treated and untreated teeth was statistically significant for plaque, calculus and degree of gingivitis at 4 weeks, and for plaque, calculus and gingival bleeding at 8 weeks.
