The Physicochemical characteristics of several kinds of toothpaste and natural powder samples and their antibacterial activity against Viridans streptococci bacteria have been studied in vitro. The Physicochemical analysis such as pH, conductivity, and moisture and fluoride concentration of the toothpaste and natural powder along with X-Ray Diffraction made in the consideration to indicating th...

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of an amine fluoride/stannous fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash on dental plaque and gingivitis, plaque F- accumulation, F- content and acid solubility of dental enamel. Participants in the 12-week double-blind study were 92 schoolchildren, with a mean age of 12.4 years, randomly distributed to four groups: (1) AmF/SnF2 toothpaste, (2) placebo tooth...

Objective. Evaluation of the efficacy of Crest Herbal Crystal Toothpaste in "clearing internal heat." Methods. This was a randomized, double-blind, controlled parallel design clinical test of a product that was already on the market. 72 subjects were randomly assigned to control group (group A with Colgate Herbal Salty Toothpaste) or treatment group (group B with Crest Herbal Crystal Toothpaste...

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...

AIM To assess the effect of protein-containing toothpastes on the progression of dental erosion in situ (with pellicle) and in vitro (without pellicle). METHODS A combined split-mouth (extraoral water or toothpaste brushing) and crossover (type of toothpaste) setup was used. Two protein-containing (high/low concentrations of colostrum) and one nonprotein (placebo) toothpaste were investigated...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of two oral rinses-one 0.12% chlorhexidine rinse (CHX) and one herbal rinse (HBR)-on gingival health status over time. METHODS Sixty-three participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: CHX, HBR, or placebo. For three months, participants rinsed twice daily (morning and evening) with (1/2) ounce of allocated...
