Hyposalivation and dental root exposure in the elderly are problems that require special oral care. In this context, the characteristics of certain toothpastes are of particular importance. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and dentin wear caused by seven different toothpastes. For dentin wear analysis, 40 root dentin specimens were submitted to 20,000 brushing cycles...

The fluoride dose ingested by young children may be overestimated if based on levels of total fluoride (TF) rather than levels of bioavailable fluoride (total soluble fluoride-TSF) in toothpaste. The aim of the present study was to compare doses of fluoride intake based on TF and TSF. Fluoride intake in 158 Brazilian children aged three and four years was determined after tooth brushing with th...

The objective of the study was to find the antimicrobial effect of local brands of toothpastes containing different active ingredients, against aerobic and anaerobic oral flora and Streptococcus mutans; the causative agent of dental caries and dental plaque. The efficacy of eight locally formulated dentifrices was checked against aerobic and anaerobic oral bacteria of 30 subjects. Sterilized sw...

This single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, four-treatment, four-period crossover study compared the enamel remineralization effects of low- and medium-abrasivity gel-to-foam toothpastes and a reference toothpaste (all 1,450 ppm fluoride as NaF) versus placebo toothpaste (0 ppm fluoride) using a short-term in situ erosion model. Subjects (n = 56) wearing a palatal appliance holding acid...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the abrasivity of various commercially available toothpastes that claim to reduce dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS Dentin discs were prepared from 70 human extracted molars. The discs were etched with lemon juice for 5 min, and one half of the discs were covered with aluminum tape. Following this, they were brushed with 6 different toothpastes, ...

INTRODUCTION Whitening toothpastes which have been accepted in populations may affect properties of enamel and restorative materials. The aim of this study was to compare the microhardness of human enamel and Z250 microhybrid composite resin after brushing with two whitening toothpastes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study of enamel specimens, forty five freshly extracted human i...

Objectives One of the economical ways of dental caries prevention is using fluoride containing toothpastes. For fluoride to be effective in toothpastes, significant amount of fluoride need to be in solution form. Global standard of fluoride content of toothpastes is 1500 ppm (part per million).This study aimed to determine fluoride content of some special toothpastes. Methods This research was...

The most common daily home oral care product with Toothpastes like an important hygiene habit for tooth many benefits to dental and gingival health. In fact, the components is always found in toothpastes are almost binding agents , gelling ,abrasive, humectant surfactant, toothpaste might cause bacterial resistance damage fluoride as well others problems presence or concentration of may expecte...

This in vitro study evaluated the biocompatibility and abrasivity of whitening conventional toothpastes. Samples (non-whitening) - Edel White Infant (EWI) toothpastes Whitening (EWW), CAREFORTE (EWC), Colgate Total 12 Ò Professional (C), Oral-B (OB) were dissolved culture medium (0.2 g sample weight per mL). Human gingival fibroblasts (hGF) placed contact with different dilutions media that had...
