Abstract

Background: Abrasives are the insoluble components added to dentifrices to aid the physical removal of stains, plaque and food debris. However, replete of abrasivity cause enamel abrasion, dentin hypersensitivity, damaging the smile as well as masticatory apparatus. The aim of this study is to evaluate the enamel surface abrasivity using three different herbal dentifrices and a customised brushing machine under profilometer. Materials And Method: A total of 30 enamel blocks are prepared from buccal surface of maxillary central incisor which are randomly divided into three groups. Group-1 Specimens brushed with Colgate Vedshakti, Group-2 Specimens brushed with Patanjali Dant Kanti, Group-3 Specimens brushed with Dabur Red. All specimens were brushed using a customised brushing model with Oral-B powered brush for 30 minutes. Surface roughness of all three groups specimens were analysed using a surface roughness tester-profilometer. Statistical analysis used in this study was one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc turkey’s test. Results: Statistically significant difference was observed in value of enamel abrasion amongst Group1, 2 and 3. (p<0.05) Conclusion: Toothpaste with higher relative enamel abrasivity has the potential to abrade the enamel and cause hypersensitivity. The least enamel abrasion was observed in Colgate Vedshakti when compared with Patanjali Dant Kanti and Dabur Red toothpaste.
