Objectives: Through the understanding of tooth enamel science and insights into the beneficial role calcium can play in the caries process, a novel fluoride toothpaste has been developed containing micro-calcium. This paper describes a series of in vitro studies to assess delivery of the micro-calcium to a plaque biofilm, delivery of radiolabelled micro-calcium to subsurface enamel lesions and ...

Aim:To compare the bacterial level in tooth surface by pre brushing and post brushing using herbal and fluoridated toothpaste Objectives: This study is done to compare the bacterial level using herbal and fluoridated toothpaste. Tooth surface swab is collected. Background: Toothpaste has been manufactured throughout for the reduction in the bacterial level. The present study will be done to com...

A new method for the determination of linoleic acid (LA) in toothpaste by a routine analysis has been proposed. Studies were based on the ISO 5509 procedure, which was modified for the purpose of LA determination in the toothpaste. Gas chromatography (GC) was employed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of linoleic acid methyl ester. The content of LA (5.31%) in sunflower oil add...

Introduction: Oral health can influence general health and then the quality of life. Regular toothbrushing with toothpaste plays a fundamental role in oral hygiene. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of utilization of toothpaste among Iranian population. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the family members of patients (n=715) presenting to dental clinics of...

This study was undertaken to investigate the number and types (fluoride or non-fluoride) of toothpaste products available in the Malaysian market based on the label.
