Abstract
Dentifrices are the products which are important in our daily life and mainly used to maintain good oral hygiene. The oral hygiene can be maintained throughout the day by using a variety of dentifrices prepared by herbal and synthetic ingredients. Most of the synthetic preparation of dentifrices causes side effects. In this study an attempt is made to prepare a tooth powder which can be used as a tool for proper oral hygiene and to overcome the side effects of synthetic one. The tooth powder was developed using various herbal ingredients such as Apamarga, Clove, Triphala, Pacha karpoora, Ritha and Mulethi. Developed formulation was standardized by analysing necessary evaluation parameters such as organoleptic, microscopical, physicochemical, rheological, phytochemical characteristics. The formulation was screened for its antimicrobial activity by agar well diffusion method against Streptococcus aureus. The results showed that the developed dentifrice has promising antimicrobial effect to use against dental diseases.
