 The major oral care problems that concern consumers can be
broadly categorized as medical or cosmetic.

 Medical concerns for oral health include dental decay and gum
disease (both associated with distinct pathogenic dental plaque
floras), dental hypersensitivity, and dry mouth.

 Cosmetic concerns include dental staining and tooth whitening,
oral malodor, and dental calculus.

 Dental plaque : certain populations of microorganisms in dental
plaque exhibit characteristics that play a major role in the
causation of dental decay and gum disease.

 Dental calculus which is considered a cosmetic issue and
incidence of periodontal disease. calculus irritates the gingival
tissues and encourages the formation of a pocket between
tooth and gingivae, in which food debris and bacteria may
lodge.

 Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a disease that
is widely distributed worldwide and is associated with more
frequent consumption of foods containing sugars or refined
starches.

 Dental erosion is the dissolution of enamel and dentine by acid of
either intrinsic or external origin.

How do teeth decay?
Tooth decay begins when the outer surface of the tooth is
attacked by acid. The acid is produced by bacteria which live on
the surfaces of the teeth as a layer called plaque. When foods or
drinks containing sugars enter the mouth, the bacteria within the
plaque rapidly converts the sugars into acid. The plaque can
hold the acid in contact with the tooth surface for up to 2 hours
before it is neutralized by saliva.

During the time that the plaque is acidic, some of the calcium
and phosphate minerals, of which enamel is largely composed,
are dissolved out of the enamel into the plaque. This process is
called demineralisation.

Formulation:

Method: – 1
The binder, prewetted with the humectant, it is disperse in
liquid portion containing the saccharin and preservative
and allow swelling to form a homogeneous gel. The
swelling may be accelerated by heat and agitation. The
solid abrasive is added slowly to homogeneous gel and
mixed in mixer until a paste formed. The flavour and
detergent are added last and distributed uniformly.
Excessive, aeration, particularly in the presence of
detergent, should be avoided. The paste can then be
milled, deairated and tubed.

Method: – 2
The binder is premixed with solid abrasive, which is then
mixed with the liquid phase, containing humectant,
preservative and sweetener into a mixer. After formation of
homogeneous paste, the flavour and detergent are
added, mixed, milled deairated and tubed

ANTI-CARIES AGENTS
Fluoride:

– considered tobe the most effective caries-inhibiting agent,
and almost all toothpastes today contain fluoride in one
form or theother

– The most common form is sodium fluoride (NaF), but
mono-fluoro-phosphate (MFP) and stannous fluoride (SnF)
are also used

– Fluoride is most beneficial when the mouth is notrinsed
with water after tooth brushing. In this way a bigger
amount of fluoride is retained in the oral cavity

Fluoride:
There are three main theories considering the positive action of

fluoride in the prevention ofcaries:

FLUORIDE MODE OFACTION

The action of fluoride onenamel
• Enamel consists primarily of a calcium-phosphate-based

crystalline mineral called hydroxyapatite(HAP).

• Fluoride is incorporated into the solid crystal lattice to form
fluorohydroxyapatite (FAP). This form of enamel is harder
than the naturally occurring HAP and more resistant todecay.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Positive action of fluoride in the prevention
of caries:

• the most important anti-caries effect is claimed to be due to
the formation of calcium fluoride (CaF2) in plaque and on the
enamel surface during and after rinsing or brushing with
fluoride.

• CaF2 serves as a fluoride reservoir.

• When the pH drops, fluoride and calcium are released into the
plaque fluid.

• Fluoride diffuses with the acid from plaque into the enamel
pores and forms fluoroapatite (FAP).

• FAP incorporated in the enamel surface is more resistant to a
subsequent acid attack.

EVALUATION OF SOLID DENTAL PRODUCTS

• Identification of ingredients
• Estimation of their contents

Abrasiveness Various tests have been designed and
reported over the year, mostly on the set of extracted teeth.
The teeth were mechanically brushed with pastes or
powders and then the effects were studied by observation,
mechanical or other means. Abrasive character normally
depended on the particle size. So, study of particle size can
also give such idea.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Particle size
This can be determined by microscopic study of the
particles or by sieving or other means.

Cleansing property
This is studied by measuring the change in the
reflectance character of a lacquer coating on the
polyester film caused by brushing with a tooth cleanser
(paste or powder). Also an in vivo test has been
suggested in which teeth were brushed for two weeks
and condition of teeth was assessed before and after
use with the help of photo graphs.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Consistency

It is important that the product , paste, should maintain
the consistency to enable the product press out from
the container. Study of viscosity is essential for this.
Rheology of powders is also important for proper flow of
the powder from the container.

pH of the product

pH of the dispersion of 10 % of the product in water is
determined by PH meter.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Foaming character

This test is specially required for foam forming tooth
pastes or tooth powders. Specific amount of product
can be mixed with specific amount of water and to be
shaken. The foam thus formed is studied for its nature,
stability, washability.

Limit test for arsenic and lead

This is very important as these are highly toxic metals.
Specific tests are there to estimate these two metals;
products may not have excess of such metals.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Volatile matters and moisture

A specific amount of the product required to be taken in
a dish and drying is to be done till constant weight. Loss of
weight will indicate percentage of moisture and volatile
matters.

Effect of special ingredients

Special test should be done for the special ingredients if
any, like antiseptics, enzymes, etc. for each one special
and specific test are to be done.

Cleansing Agents
Denture cleaner is a variety of products designed to safely remove
stains, deposits, & debris from the surface of dental prostheses,
by means of immersion or brushing with a denture brush & paste.

Aims :

•Their main use to control the growth of microorganisms on the
dentures

•Especially Candida albicans thereby preventing denture related
stomatitis. When dentures are worn in the mouth, a biofilm
develops which may be similar to dental plaque.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Polishing Materials
One main requirement of good dentifrices is to have polishing effect on
the cleaned teeth.

It is possible to achieve the polishing effect by abrasion action. The
overall effect provides whiteness to the teeth. Tooth polishing is the act
of smoothing the surface .

Aims:

Smooth polish, shine

Remove foreign materials

Remove extrinsic stain

Avoid burning or scorching acrylies

Commonly used polishing agents :

•Aluminum oxide

•Tin oxide

•Zirconium silicate

•Diamond
www.DuloMix.com

 

Detergent

• Detergents are also known as surfactant or surface
active agent, they are able to break through the tension
at the surface of a liquid.

• Tooth cleaning is essentially a detergent process and all
tooth paste incorporate a surface active agent.

• Generally surface active agents lower the surface
tension, penetrate, & loosen surface deposits & emulsify
or suspend the debris which dentifrices remove the
tooth.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Foaming agents

Foaming agent :

•Those are materials that facilitates formation of foam
such as a surfactant or a blowing agent .

Sources :

•Sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate

•Sodium ricinoleate & sodium sulphoricinoleate.

•Other detergents.

Humectant
s

www.DuloMix.com

 

Humectant
Humectants are hygrosscopic materials that have the properties of
absorbing water vapor from moist air until a certain degree of
dilution is attained .

Examples: Glycerin, sorbitol, Xylitol etc.

Properties:

Affect taste perception

80% level produce clear translucent toothpaste

(20-80)% produce opaque toothpaste

Function :

Used to maintain a consistent plaque.

Retain water in the tooth paste.

Flavoring Material
•Materials that gives another substance flavor, altering the
characteristics of the solute are termed as flavoring material. The flavor
of a toothpaste is one of the most important characteristics influencing
consumer acceptance. It is used in 1-1.5%.

Example:

•Natural flavoring material: Most used natural flavoring materials are
essential oils, herbs ,spices etc.

•Artificial flavoring material:

– Amyl acetate: Banana flavoring

– Ethyl butyrate: Pineapple flavoring.

– Limonene: Orange flavoring.

Properties:

•Should leave a fresh sensation in the mouth and

a lasting awareness that the mouth has been

cleansed. www.DuloMix.com

 

COLORS
Colors are sometimes added to toothpastes. This must be chosen with
care as color fading, particularly at the nozzole, is not uncommon. The
range of colors available is now restricted by EEC regulations.

Example: coloring agents are red, green (D&C #5), and blue. Titanium
dioxide is used to make toothpaste white.

Binding material:

•A binding material is a substance that holds or draws other materials
together mechanically, chemically or as an adhesive to form a cohesive
hole.

Function of binder:
•It is used to stabilize toothpaste formulation to prevent

separation of the solid and liquid.

Types:

•Normal polymer: Xanthum gum
•Synthetic polymer: Carboxy methyl cellulose,

methyl cellulose etc.

Liquid Dentifrices
Dentifrice:

• A substance used with a toothbrush for the purpose of
cleaning the accessible surfaces of teeth. Dentifrices are
applied as powder or pastes(liquid form).

Manufacture of liquid dentifrice (toothpaste):

Two basic processes are involved in toothpaste
manufacture

The hydration of gelling agent and

The dispersion of the abrasive in the gel.

• The hydration of the gel is normally done by adding the
solid gelling agent to the glycerin and part of the water
under conditions of vigorous agitation.

• It is not necessary to heat the mixture if CMC is used,
heating to 60 degree Celsius is usual with viscarin –
type gelling agents.

www.DuloMix.com

 

Continue
• Over stirring of CMdC gels results in an irreversible diminution of the

viscosity and should be avoided.
• Gel hydration can be continuous by means of an eductor in which the

gel powder is introduced gradually into a stream of cold water which
is then forced through a nozzle.

• The powder addition may be done in a variety of types of vessels.

• The final mixing is always done under the vacuum.

• The active ingredients ,sweetener and preservatives are added and
dispersed.

• The abrasive is then added. This may be supplied as

slurry .

• Flavoring and coloring agents are added.
• The detergent and flavor are added last under

slow agitation to minimize foaming and to reduce

loss of flavor. www.DuloMix.com

 

Tooth Powder
Tooth Powder

• Tooth powder is mixture of a variety of ingredients to replace
toothpaste as a cleaning substance. It often contains baking
soda, herbs like cloves, mint, or cinnamon, and an artificial
sweetener for taste.

Manufacture of tooth powder:

• The manufacture of toothpowder is very simple. Sweeteners
and flavors, together with a little alcohol if desired, are made
into a pre-mix concentrate with part of the abrasive powder.
This is then mixed with the rest of the powders in a
conventional powder mixer.

Manufacture of mouthwash: Mouthwash is made via an
batch process in an area of the manufacturing plant called
compounding. Depending on the size of the batch and the
number of raw materials, a mouthwash can take one to
three hours to make. Mouthwash is produced by following
specific formula instructions-

• The raw materials are delivered to compounding area by
fork lift trucks.

• Compounders add them to the main batch tank where they
are thoroughly mixed.

www.DuloMix.com

 

 Depending on the formula instructions, the batch is heated and
• cooled to get the raw materials to rapidly combine.

Materials which are used in large quantities such as alcohol or
• water are then pumped directly into the tank. This is done

by simply setting computer controls to the appropriate
amount and pushing a button.

Computer also control the mixing speed and temperature of

the batch.
