Comparative Analysis Of The Antibacterial Potential Of Some Brands Of Toothpaste Commonly Used In Umuahia:- Ihesiulo, Stella C.
ABSTRACT
This in vitro
study was carried out to determine .he antibacterial efficacy of different
toothpaste against three pathogens isolated from the mouth (Escherichia coli,
Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus spp). A total of six (5) toothpastes
were tested for their antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. Holder.t
toothpaste showed maximum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus,
Escherichia coli and Streptococcus spp compared to all other toothpastes. All
the concentrations of Oral B and Holdent inhibited Staphylococcus aureus. Close
up herbal and Oral B produces the same result against Streptococcus spp at all
the concentrations. In this research work, it has been demonstrated that
Triclosan containing toothpaste formulations, such as Holdent is more effective
in the control of oral micro flora compared to non-Triclosan containing
toothpaste like 2080. This work therefore suggests that this toothpaste
effectively reduce the total bacterial load of the mouth.
