V3703 (Stomadhex) is a tablet with bioadhesive properties enabling it to remain in place for several hours after it has been placed on the oral mucosa. It continuously releases chlorhexidine and niacinamide. In a study conducted in 15 dogs, the tablets were well tolerated by the animals. The product significantly reduced (p < 0.05): dental plaque; quantitative periodontopathogen and total anaerobic bacterial counts; spirochetes; and halitosis when used daily over a 14 day period. Gingivitis was also reduced, though not significantly (p = 0.07). Stomadhex treatment can provide a carry-over effect following dental scaling by reducing oral microflora and retarding the reappearance of dental plaque.
