Toothpaste is one of the most significant tools and contains a great number of ingredients for eliminating dental plaque, which triggers periodontal disease and dental caries, from the hard tissues of the teeth, and is an essential component of oral and dental hygiene practices. With these ingredients, which are composed of several active or inactive components, issues such as cavities, tartar, and malodor can be addressed. In addition, the building blocks in their structures, the majority of which are considered inactive agents, can boost the efficacy of the therapeutic drug in the paste or protect it from external causes. However, some of these substances pose a threat not only to oral health, but also to the health of the entire body, causing tissue damage. In this study, the components of toothpastes in market aisles were analyzed, and their frequency of occurrence among pastes was found.
