The aim of this appliation was to investigate the abundance of nanoparticles in the mouthwash, before and after use, by analysis of the solutions using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to both dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ultraviolet (UV) detectors.
Four independent samples were analyzed:
- The original mouthwash solution
- The mouthwash after 1 min of rinsing in the mouth
- The mouthwash after 3 min of rinsing in the mouth
- Blank saliva sample before mouthwash use
