Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the mucoadhesion of two dentifrices. Methods: The mucoadhesion of 2 oral care formulations were measured using a tensile test method on a Stable Micro Systems TA.XT Express instrument. A TA-4 probe was used at room temperature (23 ±1 °C). 20 grams of sample was used in a container and measurements were made within 2 minutes of filling the container. The Peak Adhesive Tack Force (n=6) and the work of adhesion (n=6) was measured for Enamelon Fluoride Toothpaste and Crest Cavity Protection. Results: A table highlighting some of the results is shown below. Conclusions: In conclusion, the Enamelon Fluoride Toothpaste was more mucoadhesive than Crest Cavity Protection due to both the greater peak adhesive force and a greater total work of adhesion (p<0.01).
