The purpose of this study was to determine the depth of deposit removal of three dentifrices using a dental felt polishing tip or an Oral-B P 35 toothbrush. The dentifrices were compared using a laboratory method which simulates clinical tooth polishing or toothbrushing procedures, and utilizes a pressure-sensitive paper that records the depth of deposit removal. Each polishing time was conducted for five seconds; toothbrushing time was 15 seconds. Both polishing and toothbrushing were performed at a weight of 250 grams. Depth of Deposit Removal (DDR) was recorded using a 0-4 scale from a comparative color chart. The dentifrices evaluated were ArmHammer Dental Care, Colgate Regular, and Crest Regular. Twenty-four replicates of each dentifrice, tested undiluted, were performed. Results indicated that dentifrice efficacy was ranked numerically as ArmHammer Dental CareColgate RegularCrest Regular. In all of the assays the ArmHammer Dental Care dentifrice had significantly (p0.01-0.001) higher DDR mean values compared to the Colgate Regular and Crest Regular dentifrices. The Colgate Regular dentifrice was significantly (p0.01-0.001) superior to the Crest Regular dentifrice in the assays conducted. |
