dc.description.abstractObjective: This article investigated the efficiency of some toothpastes in the removal of dental plaque and tartar using nine upper and lower sheep jaws. Method: The used toothpastes were Sensodyne, Colgate, Closeup blue, Closeup green, Closeup red, Aloe dent, Meridol, Colgate kids and Crest kids. The efficiency was examined by measuring some of the plaque and tartar constituents in toothpaste solutions (before and after brushing). The measured parameters are the pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), conductivity, total carbohydrates, total proteins and some minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium). Results and discussion: Most of the studied parameters were significantly increased in the after brushing toothpastes solutions. Some after brushing toothpastes solutions were characterized by significantly decreased sugars, proteins and minerals. The studied toothpastes exerted variable significant effects on the studied parameters which may be due to the different chemical constituents. Conclusion: Colgate kids� toothpaste was the most effective in the removal of plaque and tartar followed by Sensodyne and Colgate adults. The Colgate adult is the best in sodium and calcium re-mineralizationen_US
