Abstract
Description
[0001] TOOTHPASTE WITH GREEN COFFEE BEAN HUSK ADDITIVES
[0002] Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to toothpaste with green coffee bean husk called silver skin, which emerges during / after roasting of green coffee bean.
[0004] State of the Art
[0005] Eco-friendly dentistry is a concept in dentistry that aims to create an ecologically sustainable health service system while protecting the planet and social welfare by protecting the oraldental health of patients. The effect of toothpastes with environmentally friendly ingredients on the color and surface roughness of composite-resin restoration materials is very important.
[0006] Various studies are carried out to solve this problem.
[0007] Patent document CN108721190A discloses a bamboo charcoal toothpaste that can freshen the breath and whiten teeth. It mentions bamboo charcoal toothpaste, which has the property of refreshing the breath and whitening the teeth and can be taken by extrusion.
[0008] Patent document US10653596B2 relates to a method for producing white activated charcoal using high temperatures and a hydrogen peroxide solution. In this document, it relates to one or more oral care compositions using white activated charcoal, comprising a bleaching toothpaste compound comprising a minimum of white activated charcoal and a tooth abrasive based on a solvent.
[0009] Patent document CN108143634A belongs to the field of biological materials for dental health and relates to a root surface protection material composition for dentistry. The root surface protection material composition includes a substrate material and a reinforcement material. With the adoption of the root surface protection material composition, a root surface protection material has the following advantages: a) after curing, people can immediately consume food without worrying about eating, brushing and similar problems; b) the root surface protection material is white or semi-transparent, so as not to affect the attractive appearance of the teeth; and c) when a certain amount of inorganic filler is added, the root surface protection material has good durability and can remain on the tooth longer. In addition, the breath freshening toothpaste is prepared in parts by weight from the following raw materials: 0.2-0.5 parts fluoride, 0.1-1-part green coffee composite powder, 10-20 parts friction agent, 60-80 parts a wetting agent, 3-5 parts surfactant, 0.5-5 parts an auxiliary agent and 0.5-2 parts a sweetener. The toothpaste product provided by the invention has the advantages of effective sulfite removal and obvious odor removal effect, but also has a certain whitening effect.
[0010] None of the above-mentioned patents show effects on the color and surface roughness of composite-resin restoration materials.
[0011] All the problems mentioned above have made it necessary to make an innovation in the relevant field as a result.
[0012] Brief Description and Objects of the Invention
[0013] An object of the invention is to provide a toothpaste that can provide sufficient mechanical cleaning without causing color change in the filled teeth.
[0014] Another object of the invention is to provide a toothpaste that does not have a negative effect on surface roughness or reduces this effect.
[0015] Another object of the invention is to contribute to environmental sustainability by making the green coffee husk (silver skin), which emerges during / after the roasting of the green coffee bean and is considered as waste because it has no food properties, usable.
[0016] The toothpaste of the invention is environmentally friendly. The environmentally friendly content mentioned here is the husk of the green coffee bean called silver skin, which emerges during / after the roasting of the green coffee bean, is not suitable for eating because it has no food properties and is considered as waste as a result of the process. Silver skin has a high fiber content. It is known that there is a connection between the lignin and polysaccharide intermediate units related to the fiber structure of the green coffee bean waste that emerges after the roasting called silver skin. Green coffee bean waste tannins that emerge after the roasting called silver skin have high antioxidant and antibacterial properties because they contain caffeine, (poly)phenolic compounds and melanoidins and form a source for these chemicals. Since the green coffee bean waste that emerges after the roasting called silver skin contains absorbance substances that have the property of removing potential toxic metals in the water, it provides environmentally friendly properties by accumulating toxic substances in its body. In addition, studies have surprisingly shown that toothpaste with silver skin content often prevents or reduces post-brushing discoloration.
[0017] The differences of the green coffee bean waste that emerges after the roasting called silver skin from the green coffee bean components are in the absence of any nutrient content, hydrophobic, that is, not retaining water due to its water-disliking property, or chemical components defined only in silver skin that can provide low moisture content and waterproofness. Since the water retention capacity of the green coffee bean waste that emerges after the roasting called silver skin is hydrophobic, it does not have water retention properties and therefore has low moisture content. The husk wastes of the green coffee beans discarded after the husk-shaped process called silver skin of the roasted green coffee beans are preferably used in powder form.
[0018] Definitions of Figures Describing the Invention
[0019] The figures and related descriptions used to better explain the paste developed by this invention are as follows:

[0022] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0023] In the in vitro study, a total of 96 composite-resin discs (8mm diameter; 2mm thickness) of three different brands (Charisma®, Smart®, Kulzer®, Germany; 3M®, Universal Restorative®, USA; SDI-Luna®, Nano®) were prepared to be brushed with multiple protection toothpaste with the general content of Neem tree (Indian lilac, pseudo bead-tree extract) - various concentrations of calcium carbonate - 35%; Sodium lauryl phosphate - 1.5%; Glycerin - 30%; methyl cellulose - 1.00%; Sodium saccharin - 0.3%; methyl paraben - 0.1% ; propyl paraben - 0.02%; titanium oxide - 0.5%; menthol - 1.5%; pure water - 35%. The surface roughness and color values of the samples were measured using a profilometer (Mahr, MarSurf PS 10) and a digital spectrophotometer (Vita-Easyshade-V) as initial values. Each composite-resin group was divided into four subgroups (n=8) and all discs were brushed with an electronic toothbrush for ten minutes to mimic the three-month brushing time. Subgroups were brushed with various concentrations of Neem tree (Indian lilac, pseudo bead-tree extract) - various concentrations of calcium carbonate - 35%; Sodium lauryl phosphate - 1.5%; Glycerin - 30%; methyl cellulose - 1.00%; Sodium saccharin - 0.3%; methyl paraben - 0.1%; propyl paraben - 0.02%; titanium oxide - 0.5%; menthol - 1.5%; pure water - 35% general content toothpaste, charcoal toothpaste, and toothpaste with coffee bean husk additive.
[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, the differences between the initial and post-brushing values of the surface roughness (ARa) and the color (AE) were statistically analyzed using the SPSS-22 program (p<0.005). The common effect of the composite-resin material type and toothpaste on both ARa (p:0.021; p<0.05) and AE (p:0.001; p<0.05) levels was found to be statistically significant. ARa levels increased statistically significantly in the coal-toothpaste group (p:0.013; p<0.05). It has been observed that toothpastes with coffee bean husk additives cause less color change and smoothness than other toothpaste groups.
[0025] Toothpastes affect the color and surface roughness of composite resin restoration materials. The coffee waste material called silver skin, which emerged as a result of roasting the green coffee bean that can be used as the toothpaste additive named as the invention, affected the color change of the composite resin restoration materials used in dentistry and reduced the surface roughness. Thus, an environmentally friendly material such as coffee bean husk can be safely used by integrating it into toothpastes.
[0026] Adding coffee waste to toothpaste to reduce the color and surface roughness of composite resin restoration materials is the basic step of the present invention.
