Abstract:
The physicochemical characteristics of herbal and fluoride toothpaste and heavy metals in both herbal, non-herbal and fluoride toothpaste have been studied in vitro. This study focuses on people's knowledge of, attitudes to, and behavior regarding the used toothpaste when brushing. The physicochemical analysis such as pH, conductivity, moisture, and formability is performed. The relative gravity of both herbal non-herbal and fluoride toothpaste has been analyzed by Specific Gravity Bottle. The foamability of both types of toothpaste was checked. 11 different brands of toothpaste were selected which contained 3 herbal toothpaste 3 non-herbal toothpaste and 8 fluoride toothpaste. To determine the level of toxic metals like Pb and Cd in herbal, non-herbal and fluoride toothpaste was checked by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Using BIS 6356:2001 method, it is found to be difficult to analyze toothpaste containing <100ppm Pb based on the PbS color formed by the addition of sodium sulfide. In the present investigation an alternative, highly sensitive, and specific AAS technique has been developed and used. The result of physicochemical properties showed that both herbal and fluoride toothpaste are effective for dental health but fluoride concentration affects the activity. More fluoride concentration can cause fluoride toxicity but herbal toothpaste is safe to use for every age. The minimum detection limits are found to be 0.227-0.255 µg/mL Pb and 0.08-0.020 µg/mL Cd.The aim of the research was to evaluate the comparison of herbal and non-herbal toothpaste and the benefits of using Fluoride toothpaste. Herbal toothpaste containing herbal ingredients is more ore acceptable in public than nonherbal toothpaste. Herbal toothpaste is more efficient than non-herbal toothpaste. On the other hand, fluoride toothpaste is also more efficient than simple toothpaste
