ABSTRACT
The effects of
toothpaste on oral bacterial load were tested
using different brands of tooth paste, Colgate, Oral B pro-health, Red
Close Up, Close Up Herbal, Darbur Herbal, Sensodyne, Aquafresh, Macleans,
Holdent and Pepsodent. The Total Oral Bacterial Count of toothpaste (Pepsodent)
has the highest oral bacterial count immediately after brushing of the teeth at
the serial dilution factor of 10-6 giving 9.8x10-8cfu/ml,
while the bacterial count of (Holdent) has the lowest oral bacterial count of
1.0x10-7cfu/ml immediately after brushing of teeth at the serial
dilution of 10-4, because the viable count of bacterial load reduces
with the time exposure. The finding should be taken into account of further
research concerning the prolong use of toothpaste containing fluoride, and some
toothpastes that increase bacterial load of the oral cavity
