Introduction: Cention N, a new alternative tooth coloured resin based filling material. Toothbrushing abrasion is key issue in restorative dentistry. A smooth surface crucial factor to be considered for establishing successful restoration because the roughness of material results plaque deposition, discoloration restoration, microleakage and secondary caries. The present study aims evaluating N...

Allergic reactions and contact dermatitis caused by the ingredients in toothpaste have been reported. 1 Some studies have documented allergic reactions to the flavorings used, especially cinnamic aldehyde.,3 Others have reported skin reactions to the preservatives, especially sodium benzoate,4-6 and to aluminum. Still others have shown contact dermatitis caused by sodium lauryl sulfate and prop...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacy of a bleaching toothpaste containing Blue Covarine vs. conventional tooth bleaching techniques using peroxides (both in-office and at-home). MATERIAL AND METHODS Samples were randomly distributed into five experimental groups (n=15): C - Control; BC - Bleaching toothpaste containing Blue Covarine; WBC - Bleaching toothpa...

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of herbal based and fluoride based tooth pastes on Streptococcus mutans. The effect of the toothpastes are compared and hence an idea on how to prevent, control and treat the dental caries is formulated. Streptococcus mutans is a bacterium commonly found in the human oral cavity and is a significant contributor to tooth decay. The bacterial count i...

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...

Aims This study is the first of its kind in the United Arab Emirates, where these herbal plant extracts are commonly incorporated into toothpaste. The present study compares two herbal toothpastes (Meswak extract and tea tree oil [TTO]) and analyses their efficiency in reducing plaque accumulation. Materials and Methods A total of 25 patients were examined for plaque and assigned a plaque sco...
