Influence of fluoride in solution on tooth demineralization: I. Chemical-data. Caries Res 1983; 17:193–199.) The demineralization solution was used to establish artificial carious lesions from pH- cycling, and it contained 50 mM acetic acid, 2.2 mM Ca (NO3)2, 2.2 mM KH2PO4 and 15 0.1 ppm NaF (pH = 4.5). The remineralization solution used in pH cycling was artificial saliva, containing 2.20 g / L gastric mucin (Sigma Aldrich), 1.5 mM CaCl2, 0.9 mM KH2PO4, 130 mM KCl and 1 mM NaN3 (pH = 7.0). Test Agents: Test Agents used follows below: 20 Group 1. Deionized water, Group 2.2.5% arginine solution, Group 3. NaF solution (500 ppmF), Group 4. Arginine / NaF solution (2.5% arginine, 500 ppmF), Group 5. Arginine / NaF solution / Potassium Nitrate (2.5% arginine, 500 ppmF, 1.5%), Group 6. Arginine / NaF solution / Potassium Nitrate / Nano Hydroxyapatite (2.5% arginine, 500 ppmF, 1.5% Potassium Nitrate, 0.2% Nano Hydroxyapatite), Group 7. Arginine / NaF solution / Potassium Nitrate / Nano Hydroxyapatite / Curcuma Longa extract (2.5% arginine, 500 ppmF, 1.5% Potassium Nitrate, 0.2% Nano Hydroxyapatite, 7% Curcuma Longa extract. Group 8. Arginine / NaF solution / Potassium Nitrate / Nano Hydroxyapatite / Curcuma Longa extract / zinc citrate (2.5% arginine, 500 ppmF, 1.5% Potassium Nitrate, 0.2% Nano Hydroxyapatite, 7% Curcuma Longa extract,0.9% zinc citrate ). Preparation of Toothpaste Samples Toothpaste samples were prepared prior to use by mixing 20 g of toothpaste into 40 mL of deionized water under constant stirring as described in a previous study (White DJ, Featherstone JD. A longitudinal microhardness analysis of fluoride dentifrice effects on lesion progression in vitro. Caries Res 1987;21:502–512). Fluoride ion concentrations of different tooth samples were measured using a fluoride ion-specific electrode (Thermo Fisher, Pittsburgh, USA). Tooth Specimen Preparation: The human permanent molars free of white spots, cracks and other defects were collected. The teeth were stored at 4 °C in water containing 0.05% thymol prior to sample preparation. Crowns were separated from roots and then cut into four sections (approximately 4 mm X 4 mm X 3 mm) with a diamond-coated saw (Struers Minitom; Struers, Copenhagen, Denmark) under constant water cooling, resulting in an overall sample size of 320 enamel slabs (4 mm X4 mm). The enamel slabs were embedded in polymethylmethacrylate, and natural tooth surfaces were then polished progressively with water-proof SiC abrasive papers (800–2400 grit; Struers, Copenhagen, Denmark), followed by polishing on a felt cloth impregnated with 1–5 μm diamond paste. This resulted in the removal of approximately 200 μm of the outer enamel layer. The specimens were ultrasonically cleaned in a deionized water bath for 2 minutes and then visually inspected to ensure removal of surface debris before microhardness analysis was undertaken. Surface microhardness (SMH) of the sound enamel was determined with a microhardness tester (Duramin-1 / -2; Struers, Copenhagen, Denmark) by using a Knoop hardness indenter at 200 g load for 15 seconds. Five indentations spaced 100 μm apart were made on the exposed enamel surface. Enamel blocks with SMH between 300 and 400 Knoop hardness numbers (KHN) were selected for the next stage of the study. Early Carious Lesion Formation: Early artificial enamel carious lesions were established using the method described (Ten Cate J, Duijsters P. Influence of fluoride in solution on tooth demineralization: I. Chemical-data. Caries Res 1983;17:193–199. Parts of enamel specimens (4 mmX4 mm) were covered with two layers of acid-resistant nail varnish, leaving only an exposed window (3 mm X 3 mm). Each specimen was immersed in 10 mL demineralization solution for 72–96 hours at 37 °C. After artificial carious lesions were formed, the surface microhardness of enamel blocks was remeasured (SMH1). One hundred and eighty blocks with baseline KHN values (SMH1) between 35 and 55 were selected for pH-cycling. One half of the previously exposed window in each specimen was covered with nail polish to maintain the baseline lesion, leaving only an exposed window (1.5 mm X 3 mm) for 10-day pH-cycling. pH-cycling Specimens were randomly divided into treatment groups according to test agents and then subjected to pH-cycling using White’s regimen (White D. Reactivity of fluoride dentifrices with artificial caries I. Effect on early lesions. F uptake hardening and remineralisation. Caries Res 1987;21:126–140). The daily de / remineralization cycling regimen consisted of a 2 hour per day simulated plaque acid challenge in the demineralization solution between 11 am and 1 pm, followed by 4 one-minute episodes of treatment with test agents at 8 am, 9 am, 3 pm and 4 pm, respectively. All solutions were freshly prepared and used with continuous stirring at 350-500 rpm throughout the treatment period. After each treatment, the blocks were rinsed with running deionized water. The specimens were placed in remineralization solution for the rest of time during pH cycling (approximately 22 hours per day). The regimen was repeated for 10 days and the temperature was maintained at 37 °C. Post-treatment Measurement After a 10-day pH-cycling regimen, the specimens were subjected to four different types of analyses including SMH measurement (n = 8 per group), cross-sectional microhardness measurement (n = 8 per group), fluoride uptake determination (n = 8 per group), and polarized microscopy (n = 6 per group) (Fig. 1). Surface microhardness (SMH2) was measured with the same static load and time as SMH1. The change in KHN (DSMH) was determined as follows (Karlinsey RL, Mackey AC, Walker TJ, et al. In vitro remineralization of human and bovine white-spot enamel lesions by NaF dentifrices: a pilot study. J Dent Oral Hyg 2011;3:22–29) : ΔSMH1 = SMH2 – SMH1, with a positive value indicating an increase in microhardness from test agents. The specimens were then immersed in the demineralization solution to simulate plaque acid challenge for 2 hours before the third surface microhardness (SMH3) was recorded. The change in KHN, i.e. ΔSMH2 = SMH3-SMH1 reflected the resistance of remineralized enamel to further demineralization. Indentations of SMH1, SMH2 and SMH3 were made approximately 200μm apart to prevent microcrack propagation from affecting the measurements. Cross-sectional microhardness (CSMH) was tested using the protocols described (Deng M, Wen HL, Dong XL, et al. Effects of 45S5 bioglass on surface properties of dental enamel subjected to 35% hydrogen peroxide. Int J Oral Sci 2013;5:103–110). Briefly, specimens were longitudinally sectioned through the centre, and indentations were made every 20 μm from the outer enamel surface by using a Knoop hardness indenter at a 50 g load for 15 seconds. CSMH values were then converted to volume percentage mineral (volume % mineral) values as described (Featherstone J, ten Cate J, Shariati M, et al. Comparison of artificial caries-like lesions by quantitative microradiography and microhardness profiles. Caries Res 2009;17:385–391.) Volume % mineral = 4.3KHN1 / 2 + 11.3. Mineral profiles at various depths were plotted to calculate the overall relative integrated mineral recovery values (IMRV, vol. % 9 mm), from which the integrated mineral recovery values were determined for each group (White D, Featherstone J. A longitudinal microhardness analysis of fluoride dentifrice effects on lesion progression in vitro. Caries Res 2009; 21:502–512). Fluoride uptake was determined with acid etching method (Faller R, Best J, Featherstone J, et al. Anticaries efficacy of an improved stannous fluoride toothpaste. J Clin Dent 1995; 6:89– 96). The specimens were dissolved in 1 N perchloric acid (2 mL / specimen) under continuous stirring for 15 seconds, and 150 µL of total ionic strength adjustment buffer was added, before the pH of the solution was titrated to 7.0 (0.05) with 1 N sodium hydroxide. A calibrated fluoride ion-specific electrode (Thermo Fisher, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) was used to read the millivolt potential of the solution, and fluoride concentration was determined in µg F / cm2 from a calibration curve obtained on the same day of the analysis. In addition, the fluoride concentrations of six treatment solutions were measured with fluoride ion-specific electrode. For polarized microscopy, thin planoparallel sections (about 80 lm thick) were prepared from around the centre of each specimen, and then mounted on a glass slide before being examined under a polarized light microscope at 109 magnification (Eclipse ME600L, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Changes on lesion depth before and after remineralization were calculated by using an image analysis system (Image ProPlus version 6.0, Media Cybernetics, Inc., Silver Spring, MD, USA). An average of three different measurements was obtained from each specimen for statistical analysis. Statistical analysis: Data were analysed by using SPSS 18.0 software. Student’s paired t-tests were used to compare changes in the SMH values before and after the treatments. The changes in SMH (SMH1, SMH2, SMH3), DSMH (DSMH1, DSMH2), IMRV and lesion depths between different treatment groups were analysed by using one-way ANOVA and LSD post hoc test. The changes in volume % mineral values between different treatment groups were analysed by using two-way ANOVA (with treatment solutions and lesion depths as two independent variables), followed by post hoc Games–Howell tests for multiple comparisons. The significance level was set at 0.05. Table 19. Surface Microhardness of Enamel Samples in Different Treatment Groups (mean SD) Sr. no.

The Arginine / NaF solution / Potassium Nitrate / Nano Hydroxyapatite / Curcuma Longa extract / zinc citrate (2.5% arginine, 500 ppmF, 1.5% Potassium Nitrate, 0.2% Nano Hydroxyapatite, 7% Curcuma Longa extract,0.9% zinc citrate) toothpaste showed greatest remineralization efficacy among all treatments.

Example 3: In Vitro Anti-bacterial Activity of Toothpaste Against Dental Pathogens Different clinical isolates of bacterial strains selected for the study includes Staphylococcus aureus(S.aurues), Streptococcus mutans(S.mutans), Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), Streptococcus pyrogenes (S.pyrogenes), Streptococcus viridians (S. viridans), Staphylococcusepidermidis (S.epidermidis), and Corynebacterium xerosis (C.xerosis) gram positive bacteria and Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneuomoniae(K. pneuomoniae), Proteus vulgaris (P.vulgaris) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa), P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola, A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. intermedia, B. forsythus, C. rectus, E. nodatum, P. micros, S. intermedius gram negative bacterial strains which are responsible for causing oro-dental disease. These strains were screened for evaluation of antibacterial activities of the novel toothpaste. Nutrient Agar No.2 (NA) (M 1269S- 500G, Hi-media Labs Pvt. Ltd, Bombay, India) was used as the solid media namely for preparing nutrient plates, while Nutrient Broth (NB) (M002-500G, Hi-media Labs Pvt. Ltd, Bombay, India) was used for the preparation of liquid culture media. The antibacterial activity of the toothpaste form was evaluated by the agar well diffusion method (Barry AL, Thornsberry C. Susceptibility tests: diffusion test procedures A. Balows (Ed.), Manual of Clinical Microbiology (fifth ed.), Asm International, Boston (1991), pp. 1117-1125) . All the microbial cultures were adjusted to 0.5 McFarland standards, which is visually comparable to a microbial suspension of 1.5 Х 108cfu / ml. Autoclaved agar media (20 ml) was poured into each petri plate, followed by the swabbing of bacterial colony from the inoculums of the test microorganisms on prepared media plates, which were then incubated for 15 min at 37 °C to allow proper adsorption and active growth of the pathogen. It was followed by pouring of the test sample (100 μl reconstituted in the dimethyl sulphoxide-DMSO 0.1%) into the wells of 6 mm diameter (bored by sterile core- borer) of the seeded agar plates. Subsequently dimethyl sulphoxide-DMSO 0.1%- (the solvent used to reconstitute the test sample) was also poured to assess its activity, if any (Negative Control) and standard antibiotic disc- Ciprofloxacin 5 μg / disk (for gram positive) and Gentamicin 10 μg / disk (for gram negative) (Positive control) was placed in the same plate. All the plates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. After incubation the antimicrobial activity of the toothpaste form was evaluated by measuring the zone of growth inhibition against the test microorganisms with Antibiotic Zone Scale (PW297, Hi-media Labs Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India), which was held over the back of the inverted plate. The plate was held a few inches above a black, nonreflecting background and illuminated with reflected light. The experiments were performed in triplicate. Toothpaste in its prepared form was used for screening antibacterial activity using Kirby-Bauer's disk diffusion method and the Agar well method according to CLSI Guidelines [F.D.

When the Novel toothpaste and BioMinF© dentifrice were inoculated onto Todd-Hewitt agar plates (THA; Becton, Dickinson and Company, Sparks, MD, USA), no microbial contamination was observed. P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 was grown in an anaerobic chamber for 24 h at 35° C in Todd- Hewitt broth supplemented with 0.001% (w / v) hemin and 0.0001% (w / v) vitamin K (THB-HK) Hemolytic Assay: Fresh sheep red blood cells (Nutri-Bact, Canada) were harvested from heparinized whole blood by centrifugation (1000 x g for 4 min), washed three times in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 6.8), and suspended in PBS to a concentration of 2% (v / v). Equal volumes (1 ml) of red blood cells, P. gingivalis cells (optical density at 660 nm [OD660] = 1.0 in PBS), and two-fold serial dilutions of the Novel toothpaste and BioMinF© dentifrice were mixed together. PBS replaced the bacteria in the negative control. Following an incubation at 37°C for 200 minutes, the mixtures were incubated at 4°C for 60 minutes and were then centrifuged (12000 x g for 5 min) prior to recording the absorbance of the supernatants at 540 nm (A540). Proteolytic Assay: To determine the effects of the Novel toothpaste and BioMinF© dentifrice on the proteinase activity of P. gingivalis, a 48-h culture was centrifuged at 10000 x g for 10 min and the supernatant was collected. Assay mixtures containing equal volumes of P. gingivalis culture supernatant, the fluorescent substrate collagen DQTM (100 µg / ml; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA), and the Novel toothpaste and BioMinF© dentifrice were prepared and incubated for 2 h at 37°C. The fluorescence corresponding to collagen degradation was monitored at time 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min using a Synergy 2 microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, USA), with the excitation and emission wavelengths set at 495 nm and 525 nm, respectively. Test compounds or the fluorescent substrate alone were used as controls. Leupeptin (1 µM) was used as a positive inhibitory control. Assays were performed in triplicate in two independent experiments and the means ± SD were calculated. Human Gingival Keratinocyte Culture: The human gingival keratinocyte cell line was used to investigate the effects of the Novel toothpaste and the BioMinF© dentifrice on keratinocyte barrier integrity. Keratinocytes were cultivated in keratinocyte serum-free medium (K-SFM; Life Technologies Inc., Burlington, ON, Canada) supplemented with growth factors (50 µg / ml of bovine pituitary extract and 5 ng / ml of human epidermal growth factor) and 100 µg / ml of penicillin G-streptomycin at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Transepithelial Electrical Resistance Assay: The tight junction integrity of the B11 gingival keratinocyte barrier was assessed by determining the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) using the procedure of Gunbiner B and Simons K. (A functional assay for proteins involved in establishing an epithelial occludin barrier: identification of a uvomorulin-like polypeptide. J Cell Biol. 1986;102:457–468). Paracellular Permeability Assay: The ability of the test compounds to enhance or protect gingival keratinocyte barrier integrity was further assessed by monitoring the paracellular transport of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)- conjugated 4.4-kDa dextran (FD-4; Sigma-Aldrich Canada Co., Oakville, ON, Canada) across the keratinocyte layer. Briefly, B11 cells were cultured on Transwell™ filters, and FD-4 (1 mg / ml in culture medium) was added to the apical compartment in the presence of the test compounds. The presence of FD-4 in the basolateral compartment was determined at 0, 2, 6, 24, and 48 h by measuring the fluorescence (relative fluorescence units [RFU]; excitation wavelength 495 nm; emission wavelength 525 nm) using a Synergy 2 microplate reader. The effects of P. gingivalis (MOI = 104) on paracellular permeability and the protective effects of the Novel toothpaste and the BioMinF© dentifrice were assessed under the conditions described. Statistical analyses were performed using a one-way analysis of variance with a post hoc Bonferroni multiple comparison test (GraphPad Software Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). All results were considered statistically significant at p< 0.05 Results: Table 23: P. Gingivalis Cells Caused Marked Hemolysis of Sheep Red Blood Cells in a Hemolytic Assay Sr.no.

BioMinF© did not inhibit the hemolysis caused by P. gingivalis. We then investigated the ability of the Novel formulation to inhibit the degradation of type I collagen by proteinases present in a culture supernatant of P. gingivalis. Significant time- and dose- dependent inhibition was observed with both the Novel formulation and the BioMinF© technology. More specifically, at the lowest dilution tested (1 / 500) and after a 2-h incubation, the Novel formulation caused a 50% inhibition of type I collagen degradation. BioMinF© reduced collagen degradation by 20%. After investigating the effects of the Novel formulation on P. gingivalis, its ability to promote gingival keratinocyte barrier integrity was assessed. Preliminary assays showed that, at the concentrations used, the Novel formulation and the BioMinF© technology did not significantly affect the viability of gingival keratinocytes as determined using a colorimetric MTT assay. The ability of the Novel formulation to modulate the integrity of the gingival keratinocyte tight junction was determined by monitoring TER values over a period of 48 h. The Novel formulation induced a significant time-dependent increase in TER. A 24-h treatment of the keratinocytes with the 1 / 500 and 1 / 1000 dilutions of Novel formulation caused a 2.5- and 2.0-fold increase in TER, respectively, compared to untreated cells. Furthermore, the 1 / 500 and 1 / 1000 dilutions of BioMinF© caused a 1.5-and 1.0-fold increase in TER, respectively. To confirm that the Novel formulation enhanced the function of the keratinocyte barrier, the effect on paracellular permeability was investigated by measuring the apical-to-basolateral transport of FD-4. The paracellular transport of FD-4 time-dependently increased in the control assay (compounds). However, in the presence of the Novel formulation, the increase in FD-4 transport through the gingival keratinocyte barrier was significantly attenuated. More specifically, following a 24-h treatment, the Novel formulation at the lowest dilution tested (1 / 500) reduced FD-4 transport by 49.0%, while the BioMinF© only reduced FD-4 transport through the barrier model by 15.8%. We then examined the effect of the 1 / 500 and 1 / 1000 dilutions of the Novel formulation on the distribution of two junction proteins (ZO-1 and occludin) by immunofluorescence. Both the aqueous solution and dentifrice increased the immunolabeling of ZO-1 and occludin in the areas of cell-cell contact, while the BioMinF© technology had little or no effect on the immunolabeling of ZO-1 and occludin. Since P. gingivalis may have a deleterious effect on keratinocyte barrier integrity, we investigated whether the Novel formulation protects gingival keratinocytes from damage. Treating the keratinocytes with P. gingivalis at an MOI of 104 significantly decreased TER. After 24- and 48-h incubations, P. gingivalis decreased TER by 90%. Despite the effect of P. gingivalis on barrier integrity, it should be noted that no significant loss of cell viability was observed using a MTT assay that determines cell metabolic activity. We then examined the protective effect of the Novel formulation on TER when the keratinocytes were challenged with P. gingivalis. Here the Novel formulation attenuated the P. gingivalis-mediated loss of keratinocyte barrier integrity. More specifically, following a 48-h incubation, a 1 / 500 dilution of the Novel formulation reduced the ability of P. gingivalis to decrease TER 20-fold. A 1 / 500 dilution of BioMinF© provided a protective effect, reducing P. gingivalis-induced damage by a factor of 10-fold. Conclusions: The Novel formulation may offer benefits for patients affected by periodontal disease through its ability to attenuate the pathogenic properties of P. gingivalis and promote keratinocyte barrier function Example 5: In Vitro Dentine Tubule Occlusion by the Novel Toothpaste Ethical clearance was obtained from the Scientific Research Unit of the institute, India and all the ethical protocols were strictly followed. Composition of Dentifrices: StarBright™ 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish, (Nanova USA), BioMinF© were used in this study for the purpose of comparison with the new dentifrice (Jasmate ®TM) . Preparation of Dentin Discs and Grouping of Specimens: For this study, extracted Surgery Clinics of the Institute (Rohtak, India). A total of 40 dentin discs of 2.0 mm (± 0.2 mm) size were prepared by cutting each tooth horizontally (mesio-distally) over the cemento- enamel junction, utilizing a cooled diamond saw (Isomet® 5000 Linear Precision Saw, Buehler Ltd., Lake Bluff, IL, USA). The occlusal enamel, 2.5 mm down the cusp tip, was also removed and the teeth were cut mesio-distally. The upper surfaces of the dentin discs were marked, and the unmarked surfaces were etched with 37% orthophosphoric acid for 20 seconds to open the tubules and to free them from any organic material. Post-etching, the discs were washed with distilled water for 1 min and randomly divided into the following three groups, each group receiving 10 discs, based on their treatment with different dentifrices: Group 1 (n=10) = discs brushed with artificial saliva (control); Group 2 (n=10) = discs brushed with fluoride dentifrice (StarBright™ 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish, Nanova Biomaterials, Inc, USA); Group 3 (n=10) = discs treated with BioMinF©; Group 4 (n=10) = discs treated with Zecmate™ (Novel formulation). The control group formulation was prepared by mixing the following chemicals in 1,000 mL of deionized water, as proposed by Fusayama et al. (Usayama T, Katayori T, Nomoto S. Corrosion of gold and amalgam placed in contact with each other. J Dent Res.1963 Sep-Oct; 42(5):1183–97.): NaCl: 0.400 g, KCl: 0.400 g, NaH2PO4. H2O: 0.69 g; CaCl2. H2O: 0.795 g; Na2S. 9H2O: 0.005 g. The pH of the freshly prepared saliva sample was 5.5, which was adjusted to the neutral pH of 7.0 by adding aliquots of NaOH (Usayama T, Katayori T, Nomoto S. Corrosion of gold and amalgam placed in contact with each other. J Dent Res.1963 Sep-Oct; 42(5):1183–97.) The discs were subjected to a pre-treatment SEM analysis. Each treatment group dentine disc specimen was treated with the respective slurry for two minutes for a period of seven days (Yuan P, Shen X, Liu J, Hou Y, Zhu M, Huang J, et al. Effects of dentifrice containing hydroxyapatite on dentinal tubule occlusion and aqueous hexavalent chromium cations sorption: A preliminary study. PLoS ONE. 2012;7(12):e45283). Subsequent to this treatment, the specimens were dried and prepared for analysis by SEM. After drying, the discs were mounted onto aluminium stubs and subsequently coated with a thin layer of gold / palladium in a sputter coater. Photographs of the samples were obtained from the camera which was fixed to the SEM. The surface of the samples were scanned and examined using SEM (JEOL Model 5400, JEOL Co., Tokyo, Japan) at 1000X and 20kV. The total number of tubules, open tubules, completely occluded tubules and partially occluded tubules were calculated in each image of all of the samples. The number of tubules evident in each of the 1000X images was counted to provide a measure of tubule occlusion efficacy. Both the fully-open tubules and the partially- open tubules were included in the count. Table 24: Completely Occluded Tubules and Comparison of the Efficacy of (Novel formulation) Jasmate®TM, BioMin® F and StarBright™ 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish in Occluding Tubules.

There was no statistical significant difference between the groups StarBright™ 5% Sodium Fluoride varnish, BioMin® F and Jasmate® toothpaste (p=0.279, 0.434, Table 24). So, Jasmate®TMNovel formulation is substantial equivalent to BioMin® F and the StarBright™ 5% Sodium Fluoride varnish and Jasmate®TM(Novel formulation) toothpaste in effective in dentine tubule occlusion. Example 6: Bench Testing and Stability Studies of novel formulation The toothpaste formulation was subjected to stability testing prior to antibacterial analysis. The stability testing aims to ensure that the mouthwash formulation is usable and can maintain the same characteristics over a long period of time, before undergoing antibacterial assay. The physical stability testing are included recording the visual appearance, physical separation, and homogeneity of the formulated toothpaste. In addition, pH stability was also monitored using a well-calibrated pH meter. To investigate the changes and variability in the pH readings, the mean and the standard deviation for the pH readings were calculated. The toothpaste formulation was kept on the shelf at 25ºC ±2ºC / 60% ± RH, 35ºC ±2ºC / 65% ± RH and 40ºC ±2ºC / 75% ± RH. The results were recorded and compared over the course of twelve weeks (Chiedozie EI, Ahamefule OF, Ukamaka AA. Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and stability studies of poly-herbal mouthwashes against Streptococcus mutans. J.Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry.2016; 5(5): 354-36).

From our data the toothpaste formulation is stable for up to 2 years ( table :25). Example 7: Anti-cancer testing of the novel formulation Cell Lines To examine the effects of the present composition extract of novel formulation on inhibition of cancer / tumor cells, various human cell lines were used including one normal cell line and eight cancer / tumor cell lines: 1. RPTEC (Cambrex): Normal renal proxima tubule epithelial cell, Human 2. A-498 (ATCC HTB-44): Kidney carcinoma, Human 3. HCT 116 (ATCC CCL-247): Colorectal carcinoma, Human 4. Hep 3B (ATCC HB-8064): Hepatocellular carcinoma, Human 5. LNCap clone FGC (ATCC CRL-1740): Prostate carcinoma, Human 6. MCF-7 (ATCC HTB-22): Mammary gland adenocarcinoma, Human 7. MKN45 (FDSC JCRB0245): Stomach carcinoma, Human 8. NCI-H226 (ATCC CRL-5826): Lung carcinoma, Human 9. NPC-TW01 (School of Medicine, NTU): Oral-Nasal- pharyngeal carcinoma, Human 10. KB: Oral cancer All of the cell lines used were negative for mycoplasma test. Among these cell lines, RPTEC, the only normal cell line was maintained in REGM™ Bullet Kit at 37° C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 / 95% air, in the absence of antibiotics according to the manufacture's recommendation. On the other hand, the eight tumor cell lines were maintained in DulBeccco's modified essential medium (DMEM) supplied with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37° C., in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 / 95% air in the absence of antibiotics. Reagents Fetal calf serum was purchased from Bio Whittaker (Walkersville, Md.), MTS was obtained from Promega (Madison, Wis.). All of the other chemicals were from Sigma Chemical (St. Louis, Mo.) and were standard analytic grade or higher. Novel formulation was dissolved in the complete culture medium at final concentration of 10mg / ml and was filter sterilized. Doxorubicin and Taxol were prepared in DMSO at concentration of 20 mM and were used as the positive controls. To evaluate the anti-tumoral activity of novel formulation : Various human cancer cell lines was used to measure the potential cytotoxicity of novel formulation towards the NPC-TW01 and in vitro cytotoxicity assay was carried out. Tumor cells were seeded at a density of 2×103 to 8×103 cells / well in 96-well plate 16 hours prior to the chemicals treatment. After exposure to different concentrations of extract of novel formulation (5.0 to 16.0 mg / ml), Doxorubixin (10 μM to 3.2 nM) or Taxol (2 μM to 0.02 nM) for 72 hours, cells were washed, replaced with medium containing 0.4mg / MTS [3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethosyphenyl)-2- (4sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium] and further incubated for 2 hours. To quantify the metabolically viable cells, the conversion of MTS to formazan was measured by absorbance at 490 nm in a 96-well microtiter plate reader. The mock-treated control was used to evaluate the effect of the chemical on cell growth and to determine the concentration of chemical that inhibited 50% of cell growth (IC 50 ). The percentage of cytostasis was calculated by the formula: Cytostasis(%)=[1−(B / A)]×100, where A is the absorbance of the untreated control and B is the absorbance of the treated cell. To evaluate the effects of the tested drugs on cell growth, the concentration of chemical that caused 50% reduction of the treated cells (IC 50 ) was calculated from the dose response curve for each cell line. The IC 50 for both Doxorubicin and Taxol to various human tumor cellines were found between 800 to 11 nM and 11 to 0.003 nM respectively. Our data showed that the cytotoxicity of novel formulation toward cancer cell line depends on the nature of the tumor cells, showing the selectivity of novel formulation. Among all the tumor cell lines tested, novel formulation was found to be most sensitive to KB, RPTEC, A-498, HCT 116, Hep 3B, LNCap clone FGC, MCF-7, MKN45, NCI-H226 and NPC-TW01 , as the concentration of novel formulation as low as 0.25 mg / ml was able to cause 50% reduction of the treated cells, demonstrating the efficient anti-tumor activity of novel formulation on KB, RPTEC, A-498, HCT 116, Hep 3B, LNCap clone FGC, MCF-7, MKN45, NCI-H226 and NPC-TW01. In addition, cell growth stimulation was found when KB, RPTEC, A-498, HCT 116, Hep 3B, LNCap clone FGC, MCF-7, MKN45, NCI-H226 and NPC-TW01 was cultured in higher concentration of novel formulation. The results showed that novel formulation has little or no toxicity to the normal cells and also further increase of concentration could inhibit growth of cancerous cell. Example 8: Novel formulation set forth in Example I and placebos were evaluated in vivo against oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, submucous fibrosis and Erythroplakia etc. In the patients tested, response to present mouth compositions is excellent on precancerous lesions. All diagnostic tests were evaluated for diagnosing oral pre-cancerous lesions. Each subject completed a medical and dental history questionnaire to determine the status of systemic diseases, chronic diseases, oral and dental diseases, smoking habit or alcohol and drug history. Novel formulation and placebo were given four times in a day for 5 minutes. Pain control and lesion healing were the two main clinical variables for evaluating cure of oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus and oral submucous fibrosis. To measure pain, we used a visual scale analog ranging from 0.5 (Very mild pain) to 5 (severe pain). For healing, we measured changes in lesion size, including ulcer size from baseline, while; in oral submucous fibrosis in addition to the above variables , change in mouth opening was considered. Final outcome was confirmed by clinical examination. Clinical and histopathological examinations were conducted along with collection of serum and salivary samples prior to treatment of novel formulation. One week after clinical cure of diseases, clinical and histopathogical examinations were again performed along with collection of serum and salivary samples. Whole unstimulated saliva produced in a 5 min period ( 3ml) was collected, allowed to drain into a plastic container , and was centrifuged at 3000xg at 4 C for 5 min in order to remove bacterial and cellular debris. Saliva samples were stored at -80C until analysis. Blood was centrifuged at 1700xg for 10 min and plasma was separated. Plasma was stored at -80 C until analysis was performed.

Example 9: To evaluate the effects of novel dentifrice (test tooth paste) on plaque and gingival health. The 50 subjects with moderate gingival inflammation (Löe and Silness Gingival Index ≥2) and pocket depths <4 were randomly assigned to brush twice daily for 21 days with the novel dentifrice test or the control dental gel. On Days 0, 7, 14 and 21, plaque levels (Quigley-Hein, Turesky Modification Plaque Index), gingival inflammation (Löe and Silness Gingival Index) and gingival bleeding (modified Sulcus Bleeding Index) were estimated by one blinded, investigator by using a pressure sensitive probe. Results: Table 26: Change in Clinical indices (SD) for Control and Test groups from Baseline on Day 7, Day 14 and Day 21. n=25 for the Test Group, and n=25 for the Control Group. Day Test group Control P-value Difference from Difference from baseline baseline Plaque Index 7 -1.56(0.45) -0.40(0.24) 0.0001 (0-5) 14 -1.78(0.44) -0.52(0.32) 0.00001 21 -1.99(0.34) -0.65(0.35) 0.0005 Modified 7 -1.20(0.23) -0.21(0.20) 0.00001 Sulcus Bleeding 14 -1.46(0.26) -0.27(0.20) 0.0001 Index (0-3) 21 -1.68(0.30) -0.32(0.24) 0.0005 Gingival Index 7 -0.70(0.20) -0.20(0.23) 0.0001 (0-3) 14 -1.25(0.32) -0.32(0.20) 0.0001 21 -1.54(0.30) -0.34(0.22) 0.0001 The three clinical indices were significantly improved in both groups and significantly lower in the test group after 7, 14 and 21 days ( Table 26). Conclusion: The novel dentifrice was provided effective plaque control and reduced gingival inflammation. Example 11: To study the effects of novel dentifrice (tooth paste) on overnight plaque re-accumulation and plaque removal In this double-blind, randomized crossover study, 20 subjects first brushed for one week with a washout toothpaste. On the evening of Day 7, prior to tooth brushing, Plaque Index (PI) was recorded, then plaque stained and photographed. Subsequently subjects were randomized to either brush with the test or the control tooth paste. After overnight plaque accumulation, PI was recorded. Plaque was stained and photographed before and after subjects brushed with the same toothpaste as the previous night. Subsequently, the process was repeated with the second toothpaste. Image J software was used to quantify plaque presence. Mean Baseline PI after seven days of brushing with the washout toothpaste measured 2.4(0.3) in test and 2.4(0.2) in control group. Mean increase in PI overnight was statistically significantly higher after the evening use of the control group 1.9 (0.2)) as compared to the test gel 0.45(0.23) ; p < 0.001). After the morning brushing on Day 8, the PI was also statistically significantly better after using the test tooth paste 0.93(0.24) vs. the control tooth paste 2.14(0.26); p < 0.005. The percentage of tooth surface that became covered by plaque overnight was significantly higher after using the control tooth paste the previous evening 22.6(2.7)% than after using the tested tooth paste the previous evening 9.8 (2.3)%; p < 0.005. After the morning brushing, the residual plaque area for the control tooth paste 10.3(2.1)% was also significantly higher than for the test tooth paste 2.5(0.4)%; p < 0.001. Conclusions: A test tooth paste more effectively reduced overnight plaque re- accumulation and achieved better plaque removal than a control dentifrice.
