Cavity Guard
Targets key stages of the caries process – Advanced Defence Cavity Guard
LISTERINE® Advanced Defence Cavity Guard delivers 450ppm of fluoride,2 strengthening the enamel considerably more than fluoridated toothpaste alone.3*
Alcohol-free Advanced Defence Cavity Guard manages the caries risk factors identified in the Keyes concept.1 This is achieved through multiple mechanisms configured to offer an integrated approach to caries prevention.2–5
With efficient delivery of 450ppm fluoride,2 it reinforces teeth effectively, strengthening the enamel considerably more than fluoridated toothpaste alone.3* Advanced Defence Cavity Guard also delivers an unsurpassed reduction in plaque.4† Furthermore, in residual plaque, it represses acid production significantly.5$
Adapted from an in vitro study: fluoride content 20 days, DOF 3 – 2013.2 18 sound human incisors were evaluated per arm.

pathogenic plaque bacteria
Plaque bacteria are an important risk factor for caries and in an in vitro study of a plaque biofilm model, Advanced Defence Cavity Guard reduced plaque bacteria levels by 99%4.
Production in residual plaque
In an in vitro study, LISTERINE® Advanced Defence Cavity Guard demonstrated the repression of acid production in residual plaque. In this study, biofilms were grown for 48 hours, then treated with 1.8 ml of test rinse for 5 minutes, followed by a 3-fold rinse with cysteine peptone water.1
