investigatory project

Introduction Banana is very much common in our country. It is one of the oldest cultivated plants and is grown in at least 107 countries. Musa acuminata or musa balbisiana or commonly known as banana is highly recommended by doctors for patients whose potassium is low. Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene: it serves as an abrasive that aids in removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth, assists in suppressing halitosis, and delivers active ingredients such as fluoride to help prevent tooth and gum disease (gingivitis).
Background of the study Good grooming is one of the most important requirements in applying a job or passing an interview. The researchers came up to the idea of making natural product toothpaste with the use of musa acuminata also known as banana. Banana peel (thin strips) also known as pholem bundles contains amazing essential minerals that can whiten your teeth such as potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron and manganese. These essential minerals can be absorbed by your teeth and can whiten them.
Significance of the study In this study, the researcher will determine the possible effects of this product. This research aims to produce a product that will not be harmful to our health.
Scope and Limitations This research covers the possible effect of baking soda and banana peel through dentifrice. The research focuses on the importance and help that this product can make. The product is only effective for whitening the teeth.
