Multi-function toothpastes provide several benefits for oral health beyond just cleaning teeth. They can [1] interact with tooth structure chemically, reduce demineralization, interfere with bacterial adhesion, and provide antibacterial action. Toothpastes also [2] prevent supragingival calculus formation, promote remineralization, and reduce dentinal hypersensitivity. Fluoridated toothpastes are effective at preventing caries when used daily and are now included in over 90% of toothpastes worldwide. Toothpastes also help chemotherapeutically prevent bacterial biofilms and gingivitis, control calculus formation, whiten teeth, and reduce breath malodour. For maximum effectiveness,

oral health: a behavioural perspective

2. Toothpaste
 The Oxford English Dictionary in 1558,
“a powder or other preparation for rubbing or cleansing the
teeth”
 현대에서, toothpaste가 toothpowders를 대체
 오늘날, toothpastes “the accumulation, removal, and the
metabolic activities of dental plaque” 를 조절하기 위한 목적
으로 사용

6. Caries prevention with fluoridated toothpastes
 Fluoridated toothpastes are now widely available
around the world, and in some countries
represent over 90% or more of toothpastes sold.
 the efficiency, cost effectiveness, and safety of the
daily use of optimal fluoride.

7. 1. four fluoride agents used in dentifrices to
deliver the fluoride ion
 High quality products can be made with all four of these
fluoride sources
 NaF / NaFPO3 / SnF2 / NH4F
2. fluoride ion concentration
 Most commonly, 1,000 and 1,500ppm
 paediatric dentifrices, 500-600ppm
 highly caries susceptible adults and medically compromised
patients, generally for 30-day usage, high fluoride
concentration toothpastes (≥5,000 ppm)

8. 3. to be maximally effective requires that the
fluoride formula is compatible with the
ingredients of the toothpaste.
 calcium carbonate - neutral NaF toothpastes,
Na2FPO3 toothpastes
4. factor in the age of the user.
 „children‟s or paediatric‟ dentifrices -lower concentrations
of fluoride (400-600ppm)

9. Chemotherapeutic prevention of bacterial biofilm
and gingivitis

10. Preventing and controlling calculus formation

11. The other functionalitis
 Tooth whitening by prevention and reduction of
extrinsic stains
 The balance between tooth cleaning and tooth
abrasion
 Reducing dentine hypersensitivity
 Controlling breath malodour with toothpastes
 Herbal and antioxidant enriched toothpastes

12. Good toothpastes and good oral
hygiene behaviours
 increasing portion of their populations will retain
more of their natural dentition for life.
 modern, multi-function toothpastes offer the public
more benefits than ever before.
 more persons are ready for such toothpastes, but
they may still be looking for the knowledge that will
inform, motivate and guide them on the path to
better personal oral hygiene behaviour.

13.  the packaging print is necessary to reveal
fuller, basic information about the toothpaste, its
main components and capabilities are essential.
 dental professionals will continue to remain in the
shadows when it comes to advising as to what, how
and why a particular brand of toothpaste can
contribute to personal behaviour change that will
improve the tooth- paste user‟s quality of life.
