“…There is a possibility that the acidic pH of teethwhitening toothpaste will cause hypersensitivity. When the pH drops below 5.2, research shows that enamel demineralization and root resorption can occur (29) . It was noticed that herbal dentifrice was just as effective as chemical dentifrice for controlling plaque and gingivitis.…”

Background: Gingivitis is one of the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases which affecting people in Pakistan. For the preservation of great overall health, dental health must be maintained. So, there is need to determine the prevalence, socioeconomic impact, and educational status of gingivitis with the associated factors amongst widespread age group. Objective: This research focused on the frequency of gingivitis and its associated factors between the age group of 16–60-year-old patients. Study Design: Cross sectional study Study Setting: This study was conducted at department of Dentistry Avicenna Medical & Dental College Hospital Lahore from April 2022 to September 2022. Methodology: In the present study, a non-probability/convenient sampling technique was used. The 115 patients who had a gingival index scoring from 1-3 were included in the study. Patients with no plaques were excluded from the study. The WHO oral health assessment with some modifications was included as a part of the questionnaire. During the preliminary screening of the subjects, the demographic characteristics including age, gender, BMI, marital, socio-economic, and educational status were noted. A mouth mirror and a pointed explorer technique were used to diagnose caries which helps to fulfil the data of gingival index, plaque index, decayed missing filled teeth index, oral hygiene index simplified. Continuous and categorical data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: Out of 115 participants, there were 55 (47.8%) males and 60 (52.17%) females enrolled in the study with an average age of 39.51 ± 9.72 years. In this study, the overall BMI of the participants was 39.0 ± 22.3 kg/m2. Study results showed that the DMFT and OHI-S were significantly different (p<0.05). The DMFT and OHI-S showed the highest value amongst the patients suffering from moderate gingivitis. Conclusion: This study concluded that gingivitis and its associated factors played a major role in poor oral health. Amongst the age group between 16 to 60 years old, the 30-40 years were more prevalent to gingivitis. The DMFT and OHI-S were significantly different in mild moderate, and severe gingivitis. This study also indicated that the married, low-income status and the graduated patient had achieved bad oral hygiene. The study revealed that the ages between 30 to 40 years were their prime time for social and economic burden on males and also this is the post menstrual age in female, and by this time their health was already severely impaired. This may be a contributing factor to the increased incidence of gingivitis. However, the GI, DMFT, and OHI-S must have an access to fluoride and sealant programs as soon as possible to reduce the prevalence of tooth decay.

“…salivary components are important determinants of oral health status (7). Saliva consists of approximately 99.5% water for stimulated Saliva and 99.4% for unstimulated Saliva (8). The presence of saliva is necessary for the maintenance of healthy soft and hard oral tissues (9).…”

Background: Background oral hygiene means the degree of cleanliness of the oral cavity. Good oral hygiene is necessary to prevent common oral diseases. Objectives: to evaluate the relation of some salivary variables to oral hygiene and gingival health conditions among Iraqi boxers. Subjects and Methods: There was a cross-sectional comparative study. The total sample consisted of 80 males, including 40 male boxing players with weights ranging from (46-60 kg) attending different sports clubs for boxers in Baghdad (study group). And 40 male school students from some schools in Baghdad (comparative groups), ages ranging from (15-16) years old. This study was conducted from January-2022 to the end of May -2022. The unstimulated salivary analysis included samples collected flow rate, pH, and Minerals (calcium and phosphate) and salivary immunoglobulin A. After that, the clinical Assessment of gingival disease, calculus and plaque were assessed. Results: The results demonstrate that plaque and calculus are higher in the study group than in the control with a significant difference in plaque index and no significant difference in calculus. Concerning correlations, a weak negative significant correlation between flow rate and plaque index in control weakens the negative significance between Gingival index and PH, while other results are insignificant. Also, Findings show a weak negative significant correlation between plaque index and salivary IgA and a weak negative significant correlation between Gingival index and calcium and phosphorous in control. Conclusions: In conclusion, boxer players were associated with high gingival index, calculus and plaque index compared to control groups.

“…62 In addition, teeth may appear yellowish at advanced ages. 63 Several causes of intrinsic tooth discoloration are described as follows: (a) Tooth wear occurs through the gradual loss of enamel and dentin owing to tooth abrasion, attrition, and erosion. As the enamel wears away, dentin becomes more obvious, and chromogens easily penetrate the tooth.…”

Nanoparticles as Next-Generation Tooth-Whitening Agents: Progress and Perspectives

Whitening agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, are currently used in clinical applications for dental esthetic and dental care. However, the free radicals generated by whitening agents cause pathological damage; therefore, their safety issues remain controversial. Furthermore, whitening agents are known to be unstable and short-lived. Since 2001, nanoparticles (NPs) have been researched for use in tooth whitening. Importantly, nanoparticles not only function as abrasives but also release reactive oxygen species and help remineralization. This review outlines the historical development of several NPs based on their whitening effects and side effects. NPs can be categorized into metals or metal oxides, ceramic particles, graphene oxide, and piezoelectric particles. Moreover, the status quo and future prospects are discussed, and recent progress in the development of NPs and their applications in various fields requiring tooth whitening is examined. This review promotes the research and development of next-generation NPs for use in tooth whitening.
