“…The credit of the toothpaste depends upon its efficiency to eliminate pathogenic oral microflora, inhibitory role on plaque formation, ability to prevent caries initiation, the power to prevent the initiation of periodontal disease, high cleaning property and can improve the shiny nature of the teeth [6] . So many herbal and non-herbal toothpastes have been developed by adding different ingredients time to time but many of them are under a matter of interrogation regarding the efficiency and quality in terms of various components [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . We have an attempt to investigate the comparative efficiency of antimicrobial activity of four branded quality of toothpastes (Colgate, Close-Up, Dabur-Red, and Glister) available in the local area of West Bengal, India so far.…”

Toothpastes are dental as well as oral hygiene determiners, quality and quantity of toothpaste being the two cardinal points to control the dental health and also the oral hygiene. Dental health deteriorated for dental plaque, dental caries, and periodontal diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Toothpaste kill and erase the bacteria from the surface of the teeth and oral cavity but all the toothpastes have not similar antibacterial activity. Four types of toothpaste: Colgate, Close-up, Dabur-Red and Glister were used to observe the comparative antibacterial efficiency considering quality and quantity or doses concentration in an investigation. Experiments were done several times, sound the effective results were observed from Dabur-Red toothpaste in comparison to other toothpastes. Future details research will also open a new avenue to formulate the quality and the dose's concentration of the best toothpaste for next generation.

Background Prevention is a preliminary focus of periodontitis treatment. Rather than giving complicated treatment to a periodontitis patient, a variety of toothpastes have been suggested to prevent periodontal disease progression. Herbal toothpastes containing natural plant components for maintaining or increasing healing might be a treatment modality for improving oral hygiene. Aloe vera is a medicinal plant with active ingredients that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, increased sodium in the environment inhibits microorganism growth. A toothpaste containing salt and aloe vera may be an option to provide good oral hygiene. Aim To assess the in vitro cell migration of human gingival fibroblasts and antimicrobial effects of an herbal toothpaste containing A. vera and Sodium chloride. Methods The cytotoxicity of 0.02% or 0.2% toothpaste solution on human gingival fibroblast cell line was evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The cell migration after treatment with 0.2% (v/v) toothpaste was determined using a Boyden Chamber assay. The effect of the toothpaste on inhibiting Porphylomonas gingivalis planktonic and biofilm growth was compared with Chlohexidine (CHX) using a Disk Diffusion and Biofilm susceptibility test, respectively. The results of the cytotoxicity assay, inhibition zone and percentage of live cells in the biofilm were statistically analyzed with One-way analysis of variance. Cell migration and biofilm inhibition were evaluated using the independent sample t-test and multiple t-test, respectively (p = 0.05). Results Neither test concentration of the toothpaste solution was toxic to the target cells. The 0.2% concentration was selected for the cell migration experiment. The herbal toothpaste formulation significantly increased cell migration compared with the control group (culture medium) (p = .02) The antimicrobial effect of this formulation on the P. gingivalis planktonic form was lower compared with 0.12% CHX (positive control group), however, it demonstrated greater P. gingivalis biofilm formation inhibition compared with the 0.12% CHX group. Conclusions The alternative use of an herbal toothpaste instead of a non-herbal toothpaste formulation should be considered for promoting oral health care. However, further clinical studies are necessary before it can be considered for patient use.
