Objectives: To develop and formulate a new experimental dentifrice with and without fluoride based on the peel and the fruit of the (tumbo) and also to evaluate its antimicrobial activity against seven bacterial strains.
Methods: The sample was calculated using the mean comparison formula, obtaining wells ( = 12) for each of the strains evaluated: , , , , , , and . The antibacterial activity of the dentifrice was evaluated by the direct contact technique.
Results: It was found that the highest antimicrobial activity was only present in pulp-based dentifrices against strains of 21.0 ± 1.8, 16.3 ± 3.9, 22.1 ± 1.3, and 21.0 ± 1.3. However, in comparison with other strains such as , , and , the peel-based dendrifrice of obtained the highest antimicrobial activity.
Conclusion: The experimental dentifrice based on had an antibacterial effect against the seven microbial strains during the first 24 and 48 hours.

Objectives: To synthesize experimental toothpastes (ETs) containing four different polymers (sodium linear polyphosphate [LPP]; chitosan [CHI]; sodium hexametaphosphate [HMP]; and sodium pyrophosphate [PP]) and test their ability in preventing and removing tooth extrinsic stain.
Methods: The tooth specimens were randomly assigned into six groups (n = 10): control (artificial saliva), regular toothpaste (RT-no whitening claim), ET 5% LPP, ET 0.5% CHI, ET 5% HMP, and ET 5% PP.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of two toothpastes—one with fluoride only and another with fluoride combined with zinc-citrate (ZCT), hydroxyapatite (HAP), and potassium-citrate (KCit)—tracking their clinical effects on tooth sensitivity, plaque buildup, and gingivitis over 4 weeks.
- Both toothpastes significantly reduced salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans; however, the experimental toothpaste (with ZCT, HAP, and KCit) showed a greater reduction in bacteria and reported lower sensitivity among users.
- Results suggest that the experimental toothpaste is more effective than fluoride-only toothpaste and may be particularly beneficial for patients prone to cavities or those dealing with dental sensitivity.

Bioactive materials are capable of remineralization. This study aims to explore the remineralization effect of bioactive glass (BAG) with and without fluoride and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), using dentine discs as the test substrate.

Purpose: To understand the cognitive level of parents of children with autism towards their oral health behaviors and oral health care, and to provide assistance in developing better oral health plans for children with autism.
Methods: Totally 117 children and parents with autism who visited our hospital from January to December 2018 were selected as the experimental group,while 121 non-autistic children during the same period were selected as the control group, the children's oral hygiene was checked. Questionnaire survey was conducted on the oral health behaviors of pediatric patients, including daily brushing frequency, use of toothpaste, assistance from parents in brushing teeth, and frequency of snacking.
