The Effect of Toothpaste Suspensions on the Formation of Oral Biofilms In Situ
Toothpastes with active ingredients significantly reduced biofilm formation and/or viability. Paste III, containing hydroxyapatite, was particularly effective in reducing bacterial viability. Further research is needed to explore alternatives to chlorhexidine as a preservative.
