Abstract
Arginolytic bacteria metabolize the arginine found in saliva, pro-ducing ammonia, which is, potentially, an inhibitory endogenous factor of the cariogenic microbiota. Arginine-containing toothpastes could provide greater availability of this amino acid and therefore help to prevent cavities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the published evidence about the anti-cariogenic effect of arginine-containing toothpastes. A systematic literature review was carried out in the PubMed, Scholar Google, and Web of Science databases pub-lished in the period from 2010 to 2020. The eligibility criteria were original ar-ticles with the design of randomized and observational clinical trials, published in full-text in English or Spanish, with participants of all ages, in which the anti-cariogenic effect of arginine was evaluated. Of the 424 records identified, 42 full-text studies were reviewed. Seven studies were selected for meeting the eligibility criteria. In three of the studies there was a decrease in the develop-ment of caries; two studies determined that the activity of the arginine deimi-nase system is greater. The remineralization of incipient lesions in the enamel is reported by two studies, as well as the reduction in the production of lactic acid. No arginine-related side effects were reported. According to the analysis of the included studies, it can be concluded that toothpastes containing a com-bination of fluoride and arginine, possess a greater amount of benefits and anti-cariogenic activity when compared to conventional toothpastes.
