Concentração de fluoreto nos dentifrícios a base de MFP/CaCO3 mais vendidos no Brasil, ao final dos seus prazos de validade / Fluoride concentration in most sold MFP/CaCO3 -based Brazilian toothpastes at the expiration time

Dentifrício fluoretado deve conter pelo menos 1.000 ppm (mg F/kg) do seu flúor total (FT) na forma quimicamente solúvel (FST) para ter o potencial máximo de interferir com o processo de cárie. Em formulações de dentifrícios contendo cálcio no abrasivo, a concentração de FST (íon flúor + íon MFP) diminui em função do tempo de armazenamento. Os quatro dentifrícios a base de MFP/CaCO3 mais vendidos no Brasil são capazes de manter 1.000 ppm de FST nos produtos pelo prazo de um ano de fabricação, mas não é conhecido o que ocorre até o final do prazo de validade. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a concentração de FST nesses dentifrícios ao final do seu prazo de validade. Após as análises iniciais realizadas em 2010, os cremes dentais (n=30) foram armazenados à temperatura laboratorial (25°C) e as concentrações de FT e FST foram novamente determinadas em 2012, próximo a data de vencimento (36 meses). As análises foram feitas utilizando protocolo validado de extração, as determinações foram feitas com eletrodo íon específico e os resultados expressos em ppm F (mg F/kg). A concentração (média±dp;n=30) de FT encontrada (1.415,2±62,8) estava de acordo com o declarado pelo fabricante (1.450 ppm F), porém a de FST foi 44% menor (814,7±74,7). Ao final do prazo de validade, os dentifrícios brasileiros mais vendidos não mantêm uma concentração de FST máxima desejável, mostrando tanto a importância do Cirurgião-Dentista na orientação do paciente como a necessidade da revisão da resolução Anvisa nº 79 que regulamenta a matéria sobre dentifrícios

Fluoride toothpaste should contain at least 1,000 ppm (mg F/kg) of fluoride chemically soluble to have the maximum potential to interfere with the caries process. In formulations containing calcium--based abrasives, the concentration of total soluble fluoride (TSF = fluoride ion + MFP ion) decreases according to the storage time. The four MFP/CaCO3-based toothpastes most consumed in Brazil are able to maintain 1,000 ppm of TSF throughout one year of manufacturing, but it is not known if it would be maintained up to the expiration date. Thus, this study evaluated the concentration of TSF in these toothpastes at the end of expiration date. As control, the total fluoride (TF) concentration was also determined. After the analysis of fresh samples conducted in 2010, the toothpastes tube (n=30) were stored at temperature of 25°C and the determinations of TF and TSF concentrations were again assessed in 2012, close to the expiration date of the toothpastes (3 years). The analyses were made using a validated protocol of extraction, the determinations were made with an ion specific electrode and the results were expressed in ppm F (mg F/kg). The concentration (mean±SD;n=30) of TF found (1.415.2±62.8) was according to the declared by the manufacturer (1.450 ppm), but the TSF was 44% lower (814.7±74.7). At expiration, the most sold MFP/CaCO3-based brazilian toothpastes do not maintain the maximum TSF concentration required, showing not only the relevance of the Dentist to advise the patients about this subject, but also the necessity to review the Brazilian regulation about toothpastes

Efficacy of tooth whitening with different calcium phosphate-based formulations.

The aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the efficacy of tooth whitening using different calcium phosphate-based formulations. Teeth were treated with three different hydroxyapatite preparations at different concentrations and with two control preparations; each tooth was treated a total of three times. After application of the last material, hydrodynamic shear force was applied to mimic mechanical loading. After each treatment, tooth color was measured using a dental spectrophotometer, and the mean changes in L*a*b* values between different measurements were expressed as ∆E. The results indicated significant differences between the materials, but neither dose- nor time-dependent associations were found. The suspension containing tricalcium phosphate (10 wt%) showed the most obvious color change (∆E = 2.20 ± 0.90), while the suspension containing zinc-carbonate-apatite (20 wt%) showed the least obvious color change (∆E = 0.91 ± 0.50). Calcium phosphate-based formulations that can adhere to the enamel surface and contribute to tooth whitening have promising tooth-whitening potential.

[Technology of production and biological activity of toothpaste from Rubus idaeus].

Composition and the technology of manufacturing of toothpaste from extract of blackberry with anti-inflammatory activity have been developed. Toothpaste contains the following ingredients (g): Blackberry extract - 3.0 5.0 7.0 Aluminum hydroxide - 30,0 Glycerin - 10,0 Sodim carboxymethylcellulose - 1,5 Sodium laurilsulfate - 2,0 Calcium glycerophosphate - 1,5 Sodium monofluorophosphate - 1.0 Titanium dioxide - 1,0 Perfume - 1,0 Sorbit - 1,0 Purified water to 100 ml. Toothpaste containing 3%, 5% and 7% of blackberry extract possesses higher antioedemic activity and has mild influence on alteration and proliferation processes. This allows us to recommend researched toothpaste for application.

Acción antimicrobiana in vitro de dentífricos conteniendo fitoterápicos / Antimicrobial action in vitro of dentifricies with phytoterapeutics agents

Éste estudio analizó el potencial antimicrobiano in vitro de 7 dentífricos conteniendo sicoterápicos sobre bacterias orales recuperadas de la saliva y cepas patrón de S. mutans ATCC25175, S. sanguis ATCC 10556 y L. casei ATCC4646. Fueron obtenidas soluciones concentradas de los dentífricos evaluados y de controles mezclándose 3 gramos de cada uno con 10 mL de agua deionozada estéril, seguido de centrifugación; los sobrenadantes resultantes fueron diluidos en proporciones de 1:2 hasta 1:32. Fue realizado un test de difusión en ágar, colocando cepas patrón y la saliva total estimulada de 10 pacientes saludables. Discos empapados con las suspensiones de los dentífricos fueron dispuestos en las placas, las cuales fueron incubadas en anaerobiosis por 48 horas, siendo losaros de inhibición medidos en milímetros. Los resultados obtenidos fueron analizados mediante ANOVA y llevando en consideración el control positivo se constató que, solamente las soluciones puras de los dentífricos presentaron capacidad antimicrobiana contra cepas patrón, equivalente a la del dentífrico con triclosan, excepto el Gessy Cristal®. Además, los dentífricos diluidos a 1:2 presentaron acción antimicrobiana contra las bacterias orales recuperadas de la saliva, excepto el Parodontax® (AU)

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare in vitro antimicrobial potential of 7 dentifrices containing phytotherapics agents oral bacteria obtained from saliva and standard strains of S. mutans ATCC 25175, S. sanguis ATCC 10556, and L. casei ATCC 4646. For this purpose, concentrated test and control solutions were obtained by mixing 3 grams of each in 10 ml of sterile deionized water which was submitted to centrifugation, the sublimate obtained was further dissolved in a ratio of 1:2 to 1:32. A diffusion test in agar was carried out by sowing the standard strain and stimulated total saliva. Disks soaked in a dentifrices solution and then placed on culture disks were then incubated in anarobiosis for 48 hours. Inhibition halos were then measured. Results obtained from ANOVA statistical analysis. However, comparison in the presence of a positive control, revealed that against standard strains, the pure solution of the dentifrices had antimicrobial activity, with the exception of Gessy Cristal®. Against oral bacteria recovered from saliva, diluted dentifrices to 1:2 showed the same activity, excepting Parodontax® (AU)
