Objectives:Toothpaste, which is essential for toothbrushing, suppresses the formation of calculus to clean the oral cavity, prevent tooth decay and periodontitis, avoid dental plaque, and remove halitosis. However, numerous recent reports on the side effects and toxicity of the chemical compounds in toothpaste have led to active research aiming to develop oral hygiene products that contain safe substances, thereby increasing the development of and interest in natural materials. According to many studies, natural toothpaste has been made from Artemisia capillaris Thunberg, which has strong antibacterial effects throughout the human body; cinnamon, which is used as food and medicine, has a strong scent that helps control halitosis and suppress fungal growth. This study aims to evaluate the favorability of and satisfaction with the use of toothpaste that contains natural materials extracted from A. capillaris Thunberg and cinnamon.
Methods: In the experiment, college students used natural toothpaste for five days, and their oral hygiene before and after use was assessed. For statistical analysis, a frequency analysis and a confidence interval test were run using the software SPSS WIN 25.0.
Results: Most of the subjects used the rotation method, and 72.5% of them had no experience using natural toothpaste. The expected effect of the natural toothpaste was higher in halitosis reduction than in bacterial reduction. The use of the natural toothpaste also showed a reduction in oral resident bacteria.
Conclusions: The favorability of and satisfaction with the use of natural toothpastes were determined. The natural toothpaste effectively removed oral resident bacteria.
