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...

AIM International researchers have highlighted an inconsistent knowledge-base for parents and caregivers regarding the use of toothpaste among preschoolers. The New Zealand Government has published recommendations on the use of toothpaste in this age group. This study aimed to explore parents and caregivers' knowledge about toothpaste, with the aim of improving health literacy and overall oral ...

BACKGROUND Very mild fluorosis is quite prevalent in children and one of the sources may be attributed to poor fluoride toothpaste utilization habits. AIM To investigate the frequency of toothbrushing, parental supervision, the person who usually applied the toothpaste, toothpaste swallowing and spitting habits, size of toothbrush, type of toothpaste used and amount of toothpaste used by shap...

BACKGROUND Different formulations of dentifrices exist in the market. Usually, single toothpaste is used by all family members including children. There is a big concern of fluoride ingestion with the toothpaste containing high fluoride content in children. Recently, new toothpaste (including toothpaste) with remineralization potential without fluoride content has been formulated. AIM There i...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different whitening toothpastes, focusing on the experimental ozonated toothpaste. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This laboratory study included a sample of 48 sound human molar teeth. Teeth were randomly assigned into four groups according to toothpaste treatment to be evaluated objectively (colorimetric method) and subject...

Background: Streptococcus mutans was the most dominant bacteria in caused caries. Caries could be prevented by chemical plaque control methods used toothpaste. Toothpaste had antibacterial properties helped to prevent from colonized. There were two ingredients toothpaste, fluoride and herbal ingredients. 
 Aim: Determined effect of toothpaste with content on growth mutans. Methods: This st...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a fluoride and xylitol containing toothpaste on the remineralization of human enamel using Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF). Human extracted teeth were cut longitudinally into three or four parts, and artificial subsurface lesion windows (2 mm x 3 mm) were created by immersion in demineralizing solution. Each enamel sample (n = 7) ...

background. many types of toothpastes contain substances that can remineralize initial enamel caries. this study aimed to assess the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite (nha) on microhardness of artificially created carious lesions. methods. in this in vitro study, nha was prepared using sol-gel technique and added to the toothpaste with 7% concentration. a total of 80 extracted sound teeth were coll...
