“…To our knowledge there are no data regarding the contribution of different factors and the ideal dosage for highest non-contact biofilm removal. Furthermore, previous investigations focused mostly on caries protection [47], management of dentin hypersensitivity [48], impact on abrasiveness [49], influence on gingival health [50], and inhibition of plaque regrowth instead of plaque removal [51]. Thus, the impact of different dosages and possible interactions of active ingredients could improve the efficiency of biofilm removal for dentifrices.…”

The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of different toothpaste ingredients on biofilm volume and vitality in an established non-contact biofilm removal model. A multi-species biofilm comprising Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum was grown on protein-coated titanium disks. Six disks per group were exposed to 4 seconds non-contact brushing using a sonic toothbrush. Four groups assessed slurries containing different ingredients, i.e., dexpanthenol (DP), peppermint oil (PO), cocamidopropyl betaine (CB), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), one positive control group with the slurry of a toothpaste (POS), and a negative control group with physiological saline (NEG). Biofilm volume and vitality were measured using live-dead staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Statistical analysis comprised descriptive statistics and inter-group differences. In the test groups, lowest vitality and volume were found for CB (50.2 ± 11.9%) and PO (3.6 × 105 ± 1.8 × 105 µm3), respectively. Significant differences regarding biofilm vitality were found comparing CB and PO (p = 0.033), CB and NEG (p = 0.014), NaOH and NEG (p = 0.033), and POS and NEG (p = 0.037). However, no significant inter-group differences for biofilm volume were observed. These findings suggest that CB as a toothpaste ingredient had a considerable impact on biofilm vitality even in a non-contact brushing setting, while no considerable impact on biofilm volume was found.

“…Dietary habit and oral hygiene regimen change, including application of toothpaste and brushing and use of mouth rinses, can alleviate DH pain (Creeth et al, 2019; da Silva et al, 2023; Freitas et al, 2021; Pollard et al, 2023; Seong et al, 2021). This process requires dental teams to routinely initiate DH discussions during consultations and patients to feel able, willing and confident to bring up DH.…”

“…For DH to be triggered, tubules in exposed dentine must be patent from the oral cavity to the pulp (Absi et al, 1987). DH pain ceases on stimulus withdrawal, is rarely associated with one tooth and can be episodic as dentine tubules change from occluded to partially or un‐occluded status (Curro, 1990; Liu et al, 2020; Pollard et al, 2023). People affected by DH often report substantial impacts on their quality of life, which may be physical (pain while eating/drinking cold foods/drinks or while toothbrushing) and also considerable social impacts (Baker et al, 2014; Gibson et al, 2010).…”

AimAlthough dentine hypersensitivity is widespread, can cause substantial pain and impact quality of life, it is not routinely discussed during dental consultations. This qualitative study aimed to develop an understanding of the barriers and facilitators to these discussions.Materials and MethodsUsing the Theoretical Domains Framework to shape the topic guide, N = 7 online focus groups were organized with a total N = 40 participants comprising experienced dentists, dental foundation trainees and dental care professionals. Inductive and deductive thematic analyses of the anonymized, transcribed focus group conversations were undertaken.ResultsAn attitude–behaviour gap was observed in dental teams' accounts. Although they saw it as part of their professional role to routinely discuss sensitivity, and believed that such conversations were ‘an easy win’, in practice they experienced several behavioural barriers that hindered these conversations from taking place. These included competing priorities, a perceived lack of seriousness and assessment of dentine hypersensitivity and practical issues such as time.ConclusionsSystemic (e.g., lack of time and training, professional culture) and behavioural (e.g., dental teams' belief that conversations should take place only with patients likely to be adherent) barriers to dentine hypersensitivity conversations explain why these conversations do not routinely take place.
