Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of natural antioxidants in the development of caries in the enamel of deciduous teeth. The herbal formulation contains antioxidant potential herbs which were formulated as tooth paste. 24 deciduous teeth were selected for the study and divided in to 2 groups. Acid-resistant varnish was applied on the teeth, leaving only one area of 5 mm x 1 mm of dental enamel exposed. Group I served as control applied with tooth paste base, and group II was served as test applied with herbal formulation paste. The tested products were applied on the teeth according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and the teeth were stored in a moist environment for 24 hours. Each group of teeth was then subjected to a pH cycling model for 14 days, after which the teeth were cut through the center for an analysis of the depth of the carious lesion by polarized light microscopy. Comparisons were made between the control and herbal formulation paste group. There was significant (P<0.001) decrease in the lesion with the herbal formulation loaded tooth paste applied group compared to control group. The anti-caries activity may be due to its, antioxidant activity of herbs present in the herbal formulation. Keywords: Antioxidant, Herbal Formulation, Anti-Caries and Deciduous Teeth
