Abstract:
The physical-chemical characteristics of several kinds of toothpaste and natural powder samples and their antibacterial activity against Viridans streptococci bacteria have been studied in vitro. The physical-chemical analysis such as pH, conductivity, and moisture and fluoride concentration of the toothpaste and natural powder along with X-Ray Diffraction made in the consideration to indicating the quality of toothpaste and natural powder products. The results of the physical-chemical properties revealed the differences between toothpaste and natural powder samples. The toothpaste samples exhibited very good antibacterial activities against Viridans streptococci bacteria in comparison to the natural powder almost have no activity against bacteria.
