Time- and dose-dependent protective effects of the Dual Zinc plus Arginine aqueous solution, the Dual Zinc plus Arginine dentifrice, and the regular fluoride dentifrice against P. gingivalis-mediated damage of gingival keratinocyte tight junction integrity as determined by monitoring TER values. A 100% value was assigned to the TER values at time 0. Results are expressed as the means ± SD of triplicate assays. *, significant increase (p < 0.001) compared to P. gingivalis-infected cells not treated with compounds. Φ, significant decrease (p < 0.05) compared to non-stimulated control cells. φ, significant increase (p < 0.05) compared to the regular fluoride dentifrice.
