Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate oxidative stress against tooth paste and metal-induced toxicity. Introduction: Exposure to heavy metals is a common phenomenon due to their environmental pervasiveness. Metal intoxication particularly neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, or carcinogenicity is widely known. The unifying factor in determining toxicity and carcinogenicity for all these metals is the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The toxic manifestations of these metals are caused primarily due to an imbalance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant homeostasis which is termed as oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: Five criteria such as estimation of lipid peroxidase, myeloperoxidase, protein carbonyl content, superoxide dismutase, and catalase ,were taken for evaluating the oxidative stress and antioxidants levels in tooth paste. Result: Thus, this study shows that there is a decrease in antioxidants levels and subsequent increase in oxidative stress levels in heavy metal tooth paste. Conclusion: In the present study, a decrease in antioxidants in heavy metal containing toothpastes shows that it can lead to localized disorder as well as systemic disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Hence, toothpaste containing heavy metals should be avoided.
