The present study was started with aim to formulate Acacia concinna and Sapindus mukorossi coloaded denture cleanser paste and evaluation of its effectiveness in pre-used dentures. The denture cleanser paste containing both powders was formulated and evaluated for cleaning potential, foamability and antimicrobial potential against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. All batches of formulated paste showed good cleaning potential as revealed from removal of stains induced by permanent markers, highlighter and picric acid on eggshell. In addition to this, paste showed acceptable antibacterial potential against both microbial strains as well as in pre-used dentures. However, in-vivo studies are necessary to predict the effectiveness of formulated paste. Thus, formulated herbal denture cleanser could be viable alternative to commercially available denture cleansers.
