Formulation of Tooth Mousse Containing Grape Seed Extract and Comparative Evaluation of Its Physiochemical Properties with the Commercially Available GC Tooth Mousse: An In Vitro Study.

BACKGROUND

The prevalence of total dental caries (untreated and treated) in primary or permanent teeth increases with age, going from 21.4, 50.5, and 53.8% among ages 2-5, 6-11, and 12-19, respectively. Dental caries is a dynamic process of demineralization and remineralization, and the use of various topical and systemic fluoride- and nonfluoride-based remineralizing agents can help replenish lost ions, promoting remineralization and further decreasing the prevalence of caries.

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study is to formulate the grape seed extract-containing tooth mousse and to compare its physiochemical properties with the commercially available GC Tooth Mousse.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

The methodology involves formulating a tooth mousse incorporating grape seed extract and conducting physicochemical evaluations to compare its properties with those of the commercially available GC Tooth Mousse.

RESULTS

Physicochemical parameters of grape seed extract-containing tooth mousse are similar to the gold standard GC Tooth Mousse. Along with that, the slight acidity of the grape seed mousse supports the remineralization process.

CONCLUSION

The study highlights that the grape seed extract-containing mousse offers a promising alternative to the marketed GC Tooth Mousse.
