Preparation and Evaluation of Toothpaste

Abstract

Toothpastes are complex mixtures of abrasives and surfactants; anticaries agents, such as fluoride; tartar control ingredients; pH buffers; humectants (to prevent dry-out and increase the pleasant mouth feel); and binders, to provide consistency and shape. Binders keep the solid phase properly suspended in the liquid phase to prevent separation of the liquid phase out of the toothpaste. The dental paste preparations of herbal toothpast designed using different bases for treatment of gingivitis, periodentitis and dental plaque. During our Physicochemical evaluation studies all the formulations were found to have PH, good tube extrudability, good Spreadability and viscosity characteristics.
