“…Based on the antimicrobial properties, it seems reasonable to include cinnamon EO, cinnamon extracts, or major constituents in mouthwashes, toothpastes, and denture-cleansing solutions. Some authors proposed herbal dental toothpaste formulations that showed positive effects on plaque control, gingivitis, and halitosis [ 118 , 119 ]. One possible herbal dentifrice formulation was prepared by mixing 1 g of NaHCO 3 , two to three drops of essential peppermint oil, one drop clove of oil, 1 mL of coconut oil, and four to five drops of water [ 119 ].…”

“…The contribution of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamon’s antimicrobial properties was reported in other studies [ 81 , 103 ]. Eugenol showed greater antibacterial activity against several oral pathogens in comparison to β-Caryophyllene, although the latter proved to be effective against S. mutans and even more efficient against P. gingivalis , Tannerella forsythia , and Treponema denticola [ 113 , 118 , 119 ]. Linalool and α-Terpineol also proved effective against several periodontopathogens and caries pathogens, but their concentrations in toothpastes or mouthwashes should not exceed 0.04% [ 115 ].…”

Dental medicine is one of the fields of medicine where the most common pathologies are of bacterial and fungal origins. This review is mainly focused on the antimicrobial effects of cinnamon essential oil (EO), cinnamon extracts, and pure compounds against different oral pathogens and the oral biofilm and the possible effects on soft mouth tissue. Basic information is provided about cinnamon, as is a review of its antimicrobial properties against the most common microorganisms causing dental caries, endodontic and periodontal lesions, and candidiasis. Cinnamon EO, cinnamon extracts, and pure compounds show significant antimicrobial activities against oral pathogens and could be beneficial in caries and periodontal disease prevention, endodontics, and candidiasis treatment.

“…It is found that betel leaf extract gel (15%, 25%, and 35%) applied for 1, 3, or 6 months can lead to enamel surface roughness, regardless of different concentrations [ 30 , 31 ]. In a randomized triple-blinded clinical cross-over study, the investigators used a self-prepared herbal paste and a conventional paste to examine the effectiveness of both the pastes in reducing gingival bleeding index scores, they found that the self-prepared herbal pastes provided lesser efficacy in reducing gingival bleeding scores when compared to conventional pastes [ 19 ]. To compare the betel leaf toothpaste with the non-betel leaf contains toothpaste on the plaque accumulation, a previous study demonstrated that the average plaque accumulation in the first group (patients who have fixed orthodontic appliances and brushed their teeth by using betel leaf toothpaste) was 25.54 and 41.09 in the second group (patients who had the same orthodontic treatment but brushed their teeth with regular toothpaste) [ 27 ].…”

Effect of a Novel Betel Leaf Dentifrice on Commonly Seen Oral Hygiene Parameters—A Randomized Clinical Crossover Study

et al. 2022

The use of herbal medicine in dentistry has grown exponentially over time. Currently, herbal medicine is considered an effective oral hygiene aid. The objective of the current study is to assess the anti-plaque efficiency and reduction of gingival bleeding of betel leaf and miswak (Salvadora persica) toothpaste. This randomized clinical cross-over pilot study enrolled 60 individuals with mild gingivitis. They were segregated into two groups by drawing lots. The study lasted 20 days and included a two-week washout period between miswak and betel leaf toothpaste. The gingival and plaque index were measured at specific time intervals during the research period. The results revealed that betel leaf and miswak herbal toothpaste significantly decreased plaque index. Nevertheless, betel leaf toothpaste caused a more significant reduction in gingival bleeding scores (p < 0.001) when compared to miswak (p = 0.007). No significant decrease in gingival and plaque index was seen when subjects were asked to return to their conventional chemical toothpaste. The current study concluded that betel leaf toothpaste displayed a more substantial decrease in gingival bleeding when compared to miswak toothpaste. Additionally, more studies should be done on the therapeutic benefits of betel leaf toothpaste.

“…24 Dental plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms at the walls of the teeth, they produce an acid which destroys the teeth and cause serious condition of dental decay, 25 the application of antiplaque herbal toothpastes showed the significant reduction of dental plaque scores after brushing, an evidence of the effectiveness of these toothpastes to prevent dental decay associated pathogens. 26 Antimicrobial activity of toothpastes was associated with bioactive compounds containing toothpastes, the inhibitory effect of Fluoridated toothpastes on Streptococcus mutans remained effective at all concentrations compared to herbal made toothpastes. 27 Colgate was resisted by all bacteria isolated except Streptococcus mutans in our study, contrary, antimicrobial effect of herbal dentifrices showed the significant effectiveness of herbal made Colgate for both Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli.…”

Background: Oral disease affects about 3.5 billion people worldwide annually, with 3 out 4 people affected are from middle income countries. Toothpastes have been used to improve and maintain oral health. This study was carried out to determine the inhibitory effects of selected toothpastes in Rwanda's market. Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study carried out from September 2021 to January 2022. A total of 30 dental surface swab samples were collected from dental decay patients and cultured at INES-RUHENGERI clinical microbiology laboratory for microbial isolation and identification. The three types of toothpastes (white dent, ABC dent, Colgate) plus one mouthwash (sonatec) were selected as antimicrobials. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA). ANOVA was used to test for mean difference of toothpastes inhibitory effects on isolated microorganisms. Results: Streptococcus mutans 15 (29.4%) was the most isolated microorganism among dental decay patients. Colgate and ABC dent were the least effective while white dent and sonatec were the most effective, they showed inhibitory effects to all isolated microorganisms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Candida albicans exhibited resistance to both Colgate and ABC dent toothpastes. Staphylococcus aureus and Lactobacillus spp were resistant to Colgate, while only Streptococcus mutans demonstrated sensitivity to all types of toothpastes). The mean difference of inhibitory effect of toothpastes (p= .0004,) was statistically significant. The average mean values of toothpaste inhibitory effects (mm) were 15.166 for SONATEC, 5.666 for ABC dent, 24 for White dent, and 3.333 for Colgate. Conclusion: Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp were the main colonizer of oral cavity in dental decay patients. white dent and sonatec were the most inhibitors of bacterial growth, dental decay patients should use the effective toothpaste such as SONATEC.
