The Aim Of The Study:
Was to assess the stability of antioxidative activity of the active compound 2-ethyl-6-methylpiridine-3-ol succinate of toothpastes of the «Mexidol dent» line.
Materials And Methods:
The study involved toothpastes of «MEXIDOL dent» line: MEXIDOL dent Aktiv MEXIDOL dent Complex, MEXIDOL dent Sensitive, MEXIDOL dent Fito, MEXIDOL dent Teens, MEXIDOL dent Professional White. Features of 2-ethyl-6-methylpiridine-3-ol succinate («MEXIDOL») determined the choice of potentiometric titration method for the assessment of the stability of antioxidative activity.
Results And Conclusion:
The study confirmed the stability of antioxidative activity of the active compound 2-ethyl-6-methylpiridine-3-ol succinate of toothpastes of the «Mexidol dent» line during shelf life.

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
Masking and Demasking Agents
There are many masking agents, such as cyanide, fluoride, triethanolamine, thiourea, and 2,3-bis(sulfanyl)propan-1-ol (formerly 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol), with the masking agent chosen based on...
