BACKGROUND Periodontal disease and dental caries are highly prevalent oral diseases that can lead to pain and discomfort, oral hygiene and aesthetic problems, and eventually tooth loss, all of which can be costly to treat and are a burden to healthcare systems. Triclosan is an antibacterial agent with low toxicity, which, along with a copolymer for aiding retention, can be added to toothpastes ...

UNLABELLED The use of gels and mouthrinses with MMP inhibitors (chlorhexidine, and green tea extract) was shown to prevent erosive wear. The aim of this study was to analyze the protective effect of toothpastes containing MMP inhibitors on dentine loss induced by erosion in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five groups each containing 12 specimens of human root dentine were prepared. The specimens ...

OBJECTIVE To detect the anticandidal activity of nine toothpastes containing sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate and herbal extracts as an active ingredients against 45 oral and non oral Candida albicans (C. albicans) isolates. METHODS The antifungal activity of these toothpaste formulations was determined using a standard agar well diffusion method. Statistical analysis was performed...

BACKGROUND This in situ study evaluated the roughness and microhardness of enamel bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide (PC10) and brushed with different toothpastes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two groups of volunteers received PC10 and placebo agents for 21 days in two phases in a crossover 2 × 3 study. Fragments of human enamel were distributed among intraoral removable appliances (IRA). Nine fra...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: antimicrobial agents have been used as a chemotherapeutic agent to improve oral health. this in vitro study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial activity of ten iranian-made toothpastes against commonly found bacteria in the oral cavity. methods: the microorganisms used in this study were streptococcu...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects some whitening toothpastes on surface roughness coloration susceptibility a composite resin, as well their effectiveness.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Bacterial plaque is the uppermost element in periodontal diseases. Chlorhexidine (CHX) is one of the utmost influential materials in chemical plaque control and ORTHOKIN is a toothpaste claimed to encompass CHX. Although there are various studies on efficacy of different types of CHX formulation in toothpaste, no literature has focused on the anti-plaque effects of toothpast...

PURPOSE To estimate the overall effect of 1000 ppm F relative to 250 ppm F toothpaste. METHODS Experimental caries increment studies from the dental literature, which compared 1000 ppm with 250 ppm fluoride toothpastes, were summarized using meta-analytic methods. RESULTS The overall caries reduction of 1000 ppm F relative to 250 ppm F paste was estimated to be 0.142 (95%-CL: 0.074-0.210) w...
