- Abstract
Toothache is a common problem occurring in the human population throughout the world frequently. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the reduction of toothache as one of the priority issues in the global oral health promotion agenda. The different tooth formulation were prepared and evaluated for Colour, Clogging, Homogeneity, Texture, Washability, Extrudability (g), pH, Viscosity (cps) and antimicrobial activity. It was observed that the freshly prepared formulations were light brown. The Clogging was found absent in all formulations and having good homogeneity, texture was found in all formulations F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6 respectively. In conclusion, F4 formulation has desired viscosity because of its higher polymer content and it is able to remain on mucous surface long enough to release its active ingredient.
