To Mr. and Mrs. Guangco for the encouragement and assistance to make this project accomplish.
To Mr. Erfe for the financial support and cooperation.
To Miss Concepcion Hinacay, our Chemistry teacher, for the expertise, knowledge, and patience extended to the researchers. For sparing us her time to share her good ideas and for the moral support.
ABSTRACT
This research was conducted to find whether the malunggay leaves extract was a good alternative ingredient in producing toothpaste.
A large number of reports on the nutritional qualities of Moringa now exist in both scientific and the popular literature. Different parts of this plant contain a profile of important minerals, and are a good source of protein, vitamins and etc. We analyze that using malunggay leaves can also contribute externally in our body.
Our final trials have resulted in a successful product. Using a juice maker, the researchers got the extract of the malunggay leaves by just few minutes. In a cup of juice, the researcher added a cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of salt. They heated 12 teaspoons of glycerin and added the mixture until it takes on slightly paste-like texture. This mixture can change ones new perspective in healthier teeth.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation and thanks to both of my advisors Dr. Gamini Sumanasekera, and Dr. Jacek Jasinski. I am grateful to Dr. Gamini for his great support and guidance throughout my entire PhD program. In science, he is exceptionally knowledgeable and has a great drive for developing homemade equipment and experimental setup as they become required in a project. I am also thankful to Dr. Jasinski whose invaluable mentoring and encouragement were vital to the completion of this dissertation. I have been inspired by his efforts in contributing to the scientific community. I would like to acknowledge my Ph.D. committee members Dr. Chakram S. Jayanthi, Dr. Ming Yu, and Dr. Jinjun Liu for their valuable

The experiment is expected to help people to understand the effects of everyday beverages on our teeth. People are always speaking about how bad soft drinks are for the strength of one’s teeth however the point of this experiment is to show that it is not just carbonated soft drinks that are bad for one’s teeth. This project is being done in order to illustrate and teach people about the dangers of drinking sugary beverages, amongst other beverages on a daily basis, and most importantly the effects of acidic beverages on our teeth.. The aim is to get people to substitute these drinks for water and herbal teas. The experiment is also being done because it is interesting for one to see firsthand for oneself the damage that can be done to one’s teeth by seemingly healthy, or unhealthy
Panax notoginseng, a root of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H. Chen, has been traditionally used as either functional food or herbal medicine. Previous studies show that Panax notoginseng is used in cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, pains, and bleeding (Ng, 2006; Wang et al., 2009; Yang et al., 2014). In cancer prevent and therapy research, Panax notoginseng is beneficial to the prevention and treatment on colon, liver and breast cancer (Chen et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2007; Toh et al., 2011; He et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2012 ). Although, Chen et al. (2006) have been show that Panax notoginseng can suppress liver metastasis of C57BL/6 mice. And, a ginsenoside from Panax notoginseng, 20(S)-25-methoxyldammarane-3b,
Resting on the above-mentioned information, one realizes the fact that in terms of a multilevel approach to epidemiology the complex of actions is needed to improve the state of the oral health of people who belong to low-income communities. Only significant improvement of the conditions under which people live could have the positive impact on their health. That is why, in order to protect them from caries new program should be created. People should be explained the main aspects of healthy living and provide with the constant access to various health facilities. Only under these conditions some positive shits oculd be
One of these new studies is the effect of the medicated syrups on the primary teeth, and what come in this study is: “The medicated syrups with low inherent pH and high viscosity showed to cause a greater dissolution of enamel. However, certain syrups with low viscosity had shown higher degree of enamel loss due to their inherent acidic pH and those with high viscosity Showed lesser degree of enamel loss due to their basic pH. Hence, these results proved that inherent pH is the most critical factor for erosion.” (Kiran, K. Jai; Vinay, C.; Uloopi, K. S.; Sekhar, R. Chandra; Madhuri, V.; Alla, Rama Krishna February
Fluoride is widely used as a highly effective anti-caries agent. Fluoride is a systemic and topical application that can be applied in the dental office or used as a at home treatment through toothpaste or mouthwash. Too much digested fluoride can cause effects to teeth but the benefits out weight the effects to an extreme. Another antimicrobial is Chlorhexidine. M.D. Aaron M. Milstone states that “Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial”. It plays a huge role in fighting against gram-positive bacteria and gram- negative bacteria. These are major bacterium found in the dental industry. Chlorhexidine used in dentistry is produced in a mouthwash that decreases bacteria that is inside the oral cavity. It is commonly used to treat gingivitis. The Dentist is the one that prescribed chlorhexidine to patients. The most common side effects of chlorhexidine mouth rinse are intense staining of the teeth and other oral surfaces throughout the oral cavity. Like stated above, the benefits out weights the effects. The last antimicrobial agent to be discussed is Xylitol. Xylitol is used as a natural sweetener that is found in fruits and plants. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Xylitol food as an additive. Compared to table sugar, xylitol is forty percent lower in calories. Besides the advantage of xylitol being a
I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and deep gratitude to all those people who extended their whole hearted co-operation and have helped me in completing this project successfully.
The end of the first year, we had 30% of the products left, in view of the traditional market accounted for 40.5% of the overall toothpaste market, we decided to increase three sales people into traditional sales channels in the next year. Due to the selling of whole market Economy toothpaste are great, we add advertising investment. At the same time, the poor sell of children's toothpaste prompted us to reduce 5 million budgets on its advertising fee. According to the results of marketing, and sales of other companies, appropriate to improve the economy, white, healthy toothpaste price and their allowance, try to stimulate the sales.
Herbal medicines are great alternative for commercially manufactured medicines available in the market. The major reason why herbal medicine differ from modern medicine is because they are produced with 100% natural content. Therefore the plant extract has all the medicinal values that are as effective as modern medicine. Commercially prepared drugs show results quickly but have numerous side effects. However herbal medicines don’t show any side
