Investigation of the antibacterial efficiency of toothpastes used against dental pathogens

Abstract

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.
