Clinical Trial Summary

Arginine is an adjunct to oral health care that has the potential to modulate the composition and activity of the microbial community of dental biofilms towards a health-related status without harmful effects for the resident oral microbiota. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of arginine treatment compared to placebo on the composition, metabolism, and microarchitecture of biofilms grown in situ in the oral cavity of caries-active participants.

Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Biofilm pH Extracellular biofilm pH measured after sucrose challenge using pH ratiometry Measured after in situ biofilm growth
Secondary Biofilm microbial composition Microbial community of dental biofilms determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Distribution of specific microbial targets in the biofilms is visualized by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Analyzed after in situ biofilm growth
Secondary Biofilm matrix architecture Matrix components are visualized in the dental biofilms by confocal microscopy. Analyzed after of in situ biofilm growth
Secondary Biofilm thickness Measured using confocal laser scanning microscopy and/or optical coherence tomography. Measured after in situ biofilm growth
