“…Considering that the study mentioned above was conducted in vitro, no direct comparison could be conducted with the present report. Vertuan and colleagues [ 35 ] concluded that toothpastes containing charcoal, combined with pyrophosphate, might have a high abrasive effect on eroded tooth surfaces, therefore care should be taken by patients when using these products, as they may show a high abrasive effect. However, in another in vitro study, the charcoal-containing dentifrices were shown to be abrasive within acceptable limits set by the ISO [ 36 ].…”

Stain-removing domiciliary protocols are focused on the elimination of dental extrinsic pigmentations by the application of abrasive toothpastes, extensively available in commerce. The goal of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different stain removal molecule-formulated toothpastes by the reduction of clinical parameters: the micro-cleaning crystals and activated charcoal. A total of 40 participants with extrinsic dental pigmentations were enrolled and divided into two groups: a Control group, assigned to a toothpaste with micro-cleaning crystals (Colgate Sensation White); and a Trial group, with microparticle-activated charcoal toothpaste (Coswell Blanx Black). At T0 (baseline), T1 (10 days), T2 (1 month), and T3 (3 months), clinical parameters, including Lobene stain index calculated for intensity and extension, plaque control record, and bleeding on probing, were measured. Statistically significant differences were found in both groups (p < 0.05): a reduction of extrinsic pigmentation, both in intensity and extension, was obtained in the Control group, but their total elimination could be achieved only in the Trial group with the activated charcoal molecule, though without significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). No intergroup differences were found for each timeframe for PCR, BoP, LSI-I, and LSI-E. Both tested toothpastes can be recommended for domiciliary oral hygiene of patients with extrinsic pigmentations.

Aims Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is considered the oldest chief complaint in which people are seeking solutions. One of the methods of reducing DH is the calcium silicate and sodium phosphate (CSSP) toothpaste which claim to occlude the dentinal tubules (DT) and withstand the acidic soft drink challenge. Black charcoal (BC) toothpaste is a nowadays trend worldwide, that is, claimed by the manufacturers to have a remineralization action, which reduce DH by formation of precipitates on dentin surface. Accordingly, this study targeted to compare the BC-containing toothpaste versus that containing CSSP in occluding DT and evaluated their efficacy to withstand acidic soft drink challenge. Materials and Methods Sixty premolars were used in this study (n = 30). The dentin specimens were divided into two groups: Group 1 (G1) brushed with CSSP and group 2 (G2) brushed with BC for 3.5 min, then these specimens were subjected to acidic soft drink challenge for 10 min. The occluded DT were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) after brushing and after acid soaking. Statistical analysis was performed (P value ≤ 0.05). Results G1 and G2 showed a completely and partially obliterated DT after brushing, however, after soaking them in acids, G1 was resistant and there were a partially and fully occluded DT, while G2 showed a non-occluded DT with severe signs of destruction. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups after acid soaking. Conclusion The CSSP toothpaste is effective in reducing DH by formation of an acid-resistant precipitation on dentin surface, on the other hand, the BC can form a precipitation that cannot withstand the acids leaving a widely destructive DT.
