A final option for active home care is the application of a barrier sealant¹⁵ (Figure 5.9). This product works by changing the electrostatic charge of the teeth and so creating a hydrophobic surface that prevents plaque attachment (Homola and Dunton 1999), decreasing the accumulation of plaque and calculus (Gengler et al. 2005). A review of this product using evidence‐based means supports the use of its professional application, but not its home care version (Roudebush et al. 2005). Therefore, this product may be most effective in the postoperative phase, until the mouth is healed, inflammation resolves, and a more established means of home care (such as brushing) can be instituted.
