LAE repulses bacteria and helps prevent them from adhering to enamel. It works in two ways. The electrostatic affinity between the N+ (quaternary ammonium) of the LAE and the PO43- (phosphate) of the hydroxyapatite (Calcium phosphate CaPO3) constituent of the tooth helps prevent bacterial adherence to tooth surface. The hydrophobic portion (-) of the LAE also repulses the bacteria and helps prevent them from adhering to the enamel.
There is no contra-indication to using the GUM ActiVital Mouthwash with prosthetics. Its formulation does not interact with dental prosthetics like alloys, ceramics and PMMA-based materials.
Thanks to its LAE hydrophobic and hydrophilic components, the GUM ActiVital Mouthwash can act as a surfactant. Surfactant molecules can adhere to the surface of the toxins left over by bacteria, preventing them from communicating with other cells and thus neutralising toxins.
