Description
Summary:Introduction: Using a toothbrush made from natural neem wood has several benefits, including reducing the risk of gum disease, reducing inflammation in the gums, decreasing the buildup of plaque, and whitening the teeth. Materials and Methods: Since this is the case, neem twigs fiber toothbrushes and neem leaf powder was proven effective in awarding against tooth decay and oral disease. In this present work, a fiber extracted from neem twigs is impregnated in neem leaf powder influenced ploy lactic acid and identified their functional groups, crystalline effect, and morphological analysis. Results: Results reveal the FTIR analysis confirms a sharp peak at 1737 cm−1 indicating the C═O vibrations and from the XRD analysis it was confirmed more amorphous region of 82% which is used to improve the bonding strength of fiber with other bonding agents. Conclusion: Based on the results and requirements the neem fiber toothbrush was developed to improve the teeth quality and reduce the oral disease for human health.
