Abstract

Jatipatradi Churna, a classical Ayurvedic formulation, has been traditionally used in the management of Danta and Mukha Rogas (dental and oral disorders). However, its powder form may limit ease of application and patient compliance. To overcome these limitations, the present study aimed to develop and evaluate a modified dosage form Jatipatradi toothpaste, and it’s In vitro antimicrobial study was carried out. The results indicated that the toothpaste exhibited desirable attributes suitable for oral application. Antimicrobial studies shows that Jatipatradi toothpaste possesses significant efficacy against oral pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans.
