Abstract:
The influence on cell growth by different ingredients of toothpastes was examined in cell culture. Following parameters were evaluated: protein concentration, MTT-test and cell morphology. Substantial inhibition of cell growth was caused by tensides. Preparations with Tego-Betain had a significantly less influence on cell growth than Texapon. Other ingredients as medical soap, fluoride and preservative showed a very low effect.
