Design and development of a dental disclosing (plaque revealing) formulation with Bixa orellana L.

Abstract:

A homogeneous liquid formulation was developed, as dental disclosing (plaque revealing), from Bixa orellana. Crude drug pharmacognostic parameters were evaluated and qualitative chemical studies were carried out, as well as microbiological evaluation, showing satisfactory results for carotenes presence and microorganisms absence in the sample. An experimental design of the extractive process was developed, applying a 23 factorial design. For the extract and the designed formulation, quality parameters and qualitative chemical and microbiological studies were developed, during a year, being guaranteed in all cases, a stable behaviour under refrigerated conditions. © 2009 The Authors.
