Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of fluoride and nano-hydroxyapatite against Lactobacillus as an ingredient of toothpaste and mouthwash formulations. Methods: The antimicrobial activity of fluoride containing toothpaste, mouthwash and nanohydroxyapatite containing toothpaste, mouthwash against Lactobacillus were determined by modified agar well diffusion method. Rogosa agar plates were used. Experimental groups were made- Group I โ€“ control group (n=4 rogosa agar plates). Group II - Toothpaste containing fluoride (n=4). Group III - Toothpaste containing nanohydroxyapatite (n=4 rogosa agar plates). Group IV - Mouthwash containing fluoride (n=4 rogosa agar plates). Group V - Mouthwash containing nanohydroxyapatite (n=4 rogosa agar plates).
