Natural resources, ranging from herbs like neem and clove to minerals like fluoride, are harnessed for their antimicrobial properties in oral care products. These resources provide sustainable alternatives to synthetic chemicals, offering effective yet eco-friendly solutions against oral microorganisms. The present study aims to assess the antimicrobial efficacy of two toothpaste formulations derived from the extracts of Cocos nucifera. Two toothpaste preparations were made from the pulp extracts of Cocos nucifera. Group 1 was prepared from milk extracted from freshly ground coconut pulp. The second extract was obtained by the lyophilization process. Both toothpaste formulations were then analyzed for their antimicrobial efficacy by assessing the zone of inhibition for the following oral pathogens; Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Candida albicans by agar well diffusion assay. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software. It was found that the toothpaste derived from the extracts of coconut milk had antimicrobial efficacy against S.mutans, S.aureus and C.albicans in the various dilutions tested and the toothpaste made from the lyophilized extract exhibited antimicrobial efficacy against P.aeruginosa in various dilutions. Toothpaste derived from the coconut milk extract demonstrated significant efficacy against tested oral pathogens, suggesting its suitability for incorporation into oral care products. Its antimicrobial properties highlight its potential for combating oral infections and enhancing oral hygiene routines. Further research and development could optimize its utilization in various dental formulations.

A bstract Aim Early identification and management of developing malocclusion can reduce or eliminate the need for future complicated treatment procedures. The present study was undertaken to assess early orthodontic treatment needs in 6- and 9-year-old children using the index for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment need (IPION) in Pune, India. Materials and methods A total of 360 children reporting to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry were evaluated clinically and on their respective dental casts according to the IPION requirement. The overall scores were then categorized into “no treatment need,” “moderate treatment need,” and “definitive treatment need.” Results The final data obtained that around 6.1% of the children had no treatment need, 25% of the children had moderate treatment need, and 68.8% of the children had definitive treatment need. Conclusion Within the limitations of the study, we conclude that the studied population had a high early orthodontic treatment needs which can be attributed to the high caries in the study population. Clinical significance This study provides a better alternative to determine early orthodontic treatment needs using IPION, as it includes more relevant orthodontic parameters in high caries population compared to conventional orthodontic treatment need indices.
