    This document discusses the components of toothpaste. It describes 8 main components: 1) humectants like glycerol and sorbitol, 2) surfactants/detergents like sodium stearate and sodium lauryl sulfate, 3) abrasives like calcium carbonate and silica, 4) colorants like titanium dioxide, 5) binders like sodium CMC, 6) sweeteners like sodium saccharin, 7) flavors, and 8) therapeutic agents like fluoride, anti-sensitivity compounds, and anti-plaque compounds. The purpose of these components is to remove deposits from teeth, provide texture and taste, and deliver therapeutic benefits.

    A semi-aqueous material for removing naturally-occuring


    deposits from the teeth
    CONTENT
    1) Objective & Deposits on teeth
    2) Component of a toothpaste
    i. Water
    ii. Humectant
    iii. Surfactant / detergent
    iv. Abrasive
    v. Colorant
    vi. Binder (thickening agent)
    vii. Flavoring
    viii. Sweetener
    ix. Therapeutic agent
    OBJECTIVE & DEPOSITS ON TEETH
    • Objective: To achieve a clean substrate
    • Deposits:
    1) Plaque – a soft (mainly bacterial film
    2) Pellicle – a protein containing film of salivary
    origin. May be stained. It is thought that ferric
    sulphide is an important component in pellicle
    staining. Fe is derived from diet & S is from
    denatured protein in pellicle
    3) Calculus – a deposit involving both inorganic
    & organic component. (Inorganic: Calcium
    phosthate; Organic: protein & lipid)
    • Plaque can be removed via the use of toothbrush
    / water & flossing.
    • Pellicle need use of soap, detergent together with
    an appropriate abrasive
    • Calculus cannot be effectively removed by
    brushing
    • Modern dentifrice, presented as paste, contain a
    number of components, which may include
    i. Anticariogenic (fluoride),
    ii. Antidentine hypersensitivity
    iii. Antibacterial agent
    1) HUMECTANT
    • Composition: Short chain polyalcohol
    • Function:
    1) To prevent dessication of materials
    2) Preventing microbial contamination
    3) Glycerol – giving a warming sensation
    4) Sorbitol – giving a cooling sensation
    2) SURFACTANT / DETERGENT
    • Composition: Sodium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate
    • Properties: hydrophilic & lypophilic (fatty deposits can
    be solubilize) – can be used in hard water
    • Function:
    1) To prevent dessication of materials
    2) Preventing microbial contamination
    3) Glycerol – giving a warming sensation
    4) Sorbitol – giving a cooling sensation
    5) Help in dispersing the flavor
    6) Lower the surface tension of solution – so that
    material can contact the teeth easily
    3) ABRASIVE
    • Composition: calcium carbonate, aluminium hydroxide,
    calcium phosphate & amorphous silicon dioxide
    • Properties: hydrophilic & lypophilic (fatty deposits can
    be solubilize) – can be used in hard water
    • Degree of abrasiveness is depend on:
    1) Hardness of abrasive
    2) Morphology of particles
    3) Concentration of abrasive in paste
    • Function:
    1) Effective removal of pellicle, plaque & polishes
    tooth surface
    4) COLORANT
    • Composition: titanium dioxide (white titanium)
    • Properties: opaque / transparent

    5) BINDER / THICKENING AGENT


    • Composition: Sodium CMC (carboxyl-methyl-cellulose),
    hydroxyl-methyl- cellulose
    • Long chain molecules
    • Function:
    1) Prevent the solids separating in the preparation
    2) Hinder the gravity induced movement of solids
    towards the bottom of container
    6) SWEETENER
    • Composition: sodium saccharinate (artificial)

    7) FLAVOUR
    • Composition: Water insoluble essential oils (oil of
    spearmint, peppermint etc)
    • Represent 60% of main cost
    • They are solubilized and dispersed though the paste via
    detergent
    8) THERAPEUTIC AGENT

    Fluoride
    • Example: Sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, sodium
    monofluorophosphate
    • Incorporation of F- into surface enamel appears to be
    associated with a reduced incidence of dental caries.
    Due to reduced acid solubility of fluoroapatite
    compared with hyroxyapatite
    Anti-Dentin Hypersensitivity Agent
    • Example: Strontium, silver, zinc, fluoride, formaldehyde
    & eugenol
    • Indication: Patient with cervical sensitivity (open tubule
    at the exposed dentine surface)

    Anti-Bacterial / Anti-Plaque / Tartar control


    • For antibacterial/plaque: Citrate trihydrate, hexetidine,
    amyloglucosidase, glucose oxidase & potassium
    thiocyanate
    • For tartar control: Disodium pyrophosphate,
    tetrasodium pyrophosphate & tetrapotassium
    pyrophosphate
