Abstract
Objectives: Compositions extracted from 31 kinds of natural materials were prepared and formulated with toothpaste ingredients (e.g., cleaning, polishing, flavoring), to evaluate the halitosis reduction effect compared to a commercial toothpaste.
Methods: This research was performed between May and June, 2019 with 30 females over 20 years of age. Assessments of halitosis were conducted before brushing teeth, and 30 minutes and 3 hours after brushing using a natural extract-containing dentifrice (experimental group) and a commercial dentifrice (positive control group).
Results: The average values of halitosis measurements decreased significantly over time (F=133.087, p=0.000); values in the experimental and control groups, respectively were: 32.6±17.5 vs. 34.3±14.2 (pre-brushing), 10.6±8.7 vs. 16.2±10.3 (30 min post-brushing) and 4.6±6.9 vs. 5.5±8.8 (3 h post-brushing). No differences were exhibited between the groups (F=1.583, p=0.213) and between the groups and time (F=1.020, p=0.364).
Conclusions: The natural extract-containing dentifrice was more effective at reducing halitosis 30 minutes after brushing compared to a commercial dentifrice, however, the effect was similar among the groups 3 hours after brushing, and this effect was maintained consistently over time. The natural extract-containing dentifrice developed in this study is expected to be: i) safe for use long-term use (i.e., no side effects) and ii) an appropriate dentifrice for reducing halitosis.
