Formulation and evaluation of chewable Toothpaste Tablets

In this study, we present the Formulation and Evaluation of Chewable Toothpaste Tablets as a sustainable alternative to conventional toothpaste. Chewable toothpaste tablets are an innovative alternative to traditional toothpaste, offering portability, convenience, and environmental sustainability by eliminating the need for plastic tubes. This project focuses on the formulation and evaluation of chewable toothpaste tablets designed to provide effective oral hygiene. This formulation incorporates key ingredients such as strawberry and xylitol for cavity prevention, calcium carbonate as an abrasive for plaque removal, binders for tablet integrity, and natural sweeteners and flavoring agents for enhancing user experience. The development process includes optimizing the tablets' hardness, friability, disintegration time, and taste profile to ensure ease of use and efficacy. A comprehensive evaluation is conducted to assess physicochemical properties, antimicrobial activity, and stability under varying conditions. Additionally, user acceptability studies are performed to gauge consumer satisfaction. Tablets are compared with conventional toothpaste to highlight advantages in terms of functionality, sustainability, and convenience. This review article aims to explain and explore dental problems with sparing on a modified tablet dosage form that is a chewable toothpaste tablet, which will be helpful to reduce plastic waste, will be eco-friendly, costeffective, and improve dental health.
