| Abstract | ||
| Introduction:Fluoride containing mouth rinses, and toothpastes have been reported to decrease the corrosion resistance of titanium.Salvadora persica has been recently introduced in two forms: tooth paste (Saudi Arabia) and mouth wash. The influence of these products on Titanium Alloy Surface Topography has not been tested before. Aim of the study: To compare between the effects of Salvadora persica(Siwak® toothpaste and its alcoholic extract), with fluoride containing tooth paste (kin® toothpaste) and kin® mouth wash on the corrosion of pure titanium grade 2 (cpTi). Materials and methods: Alcoholic extract of Salvadora persicawas prepared, and tested on sixty weighted samples of cpTi divided into 4 experimental groups. Samples in the control group were immersed in distilled water. In the first experimental group, samples were treated with Kin® tooth paste. For the 2nd experimental group, samples treated with Kin® mouth wash. Samples in the 3rd experimental group were treated with Siwak® toothpaste. The final experimental group was treated with extract of Salvadora persica. These samples were subjected to surface topography (AFM) and transverse strength tests before, after three, and six months of treatments. Results: Weighting test showed no significant difference (p≤0.05) between the mean values of four treated groups of cpTi samples before, and after 3 months. However, there was a significant difference (p<0.05)between cpTi before and after 6 months treatment with Siwak® tooth paste. Surface topography showed a statistically significant difference between root mean square roughnesses of cpTi samples after 3, and 6 months of treatment. Transverse strength also showed a statistically significant difference between the mean value of cpTi between the treated and control groups after three months and six months. Conclusions:Siwak® toothpaste seems to have more effect on both weight and roughness of cpTi compared to alcohol extract of Salvadora persicaand Kin® toothpaste. | ||
