[The effect of toothpaste on the gingiva].

W Götze

    Deutsche Zahnarztliche Zeitschrift
    |June 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A high-wetting toothpaste loosens more gingival epithelial cells than standard toothpastes. This suggests enhanced mechanical cleansing of the attached gingiva.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral hygiene research
    • Dental materials science
    • Cell biology

    Context:

    • Investigating the mechanical interaction between oral care products and gingival tissues.
    • Understanding the role of surface active substances in toothpaste efficacy.
    • Evaluating the removal of epithelial cells from the attached gingiva.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the effect of a high-wetting agent toothpaste on gingival epithelial cell detachment.
    • To compare the cell-loosening capacity of this specialized toothpaste against conventional formulations.
    • To quantify the number of epithelial cells released under standardized conditions.

    Summary:

    • Toothfoils applied to the mandibular anterior gingiva collected epithelial cells.
    • A toothpaste with a high percentage of wetting agents significantly increased cell detachment compared to standard toothpastes.
    • This effect was observed even with short contact times, highlighting the mechanical impact of wetting agents.

    Impact:

    • Suggests a potential for improved mechanical plaque removal with high-wetting agent toothpastes.
    • Provides insights into the interaction between toothpaste surfactants and oral mucosal cells.
    • Informs the development of novel oral hygiene products for enhanced gingival cleaning.
