Introduction The oral cavity is a habitat for a large number of microorganisms which coexist with one another as normal microbiota. Candida species are ovoid budding yeast like fungi. The organism is a normal commensal of humans found on skin and throughout gastrointestinal tract. Poor oral hygiene, high carbohydrate diet, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes mellitus, dental prostheses, heavy ci...

objective: the main purpose of this study was to develop a simple reproducible system to compare abrasive effects of three different toothpastes. materials and methods: a specific mold was used to fabricate 37 samples made of po-lymethylmethacrylate. the samples were stroke by toothbrushes connected to a v8 cross brushing machine in a solution of fluoridated toothpastes and distilled water. the...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this paper was to review the published evidence concerning the efficacy and potential for adverse reactions of modern dentifrices toothpastes. DATA SOURCES Publications cited on MEDLINE since 1990. Some further pre-1990 publications are also referenced. DATA SELECTION Studies concerning the efficacy of dentifrices and their components and any related putative adv...

of SLS in marketed toothpastes would alter the morphology and biochemical properties (viability and inflammatory cytokine release) of human 3D cell cultures. Since tissue cell cultures are generally recognised in the literature as being a sensitive method of assaying the cytotoxic potential of test materials [16-18], the objective of this experiment was to measure the toxicity of 5 marketed too...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of application of three over the counter whitening toothpastes (Colgate Optic White, Aquafresh Ultimate White and Crest 3D White) on the color stability of different esthetic restorative materials (Resin composite/Filtek Z250 XT, resin modified glass ionomer/GC Fuji II LC, and glass ionomer/Ketac Molar Quick Aplicapweek) commonly ...

Besides the effects on the health of individuals, cigarette smoking can also interfere with the appearance of their teeth. To evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking-toothbrushing-cycling (CSTC) with whitening toothpastes on the roughness and optical behavior of bovine enamel for eight weeks. Thirty bovine dentin/enamel discs, 8.0 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm thick, were randomly divided into thr...

although fluoridated toothpastes are among the most accessible fluoride sources for caries prevention, their remineralization potential remains questionable. this study sought to compare the effects of 5 different child formula dentifrices on remineralization of artificial primary enamel caries using a ph cycling model.twenty sound primary canine teeth were immersed in demineralizing solution f...
