Abstract: The conventional use of toothpaste packaged in plastic tubes has led to a significant environmental burden due to plastic waste accumulation. In response to this challenge, chewable toothpaste tablets have emerged as a potential solution offering both dental health benefits and environmental sustainability. This research article provides a comprehensive review of the current landscape surrounding chewable toothpaste tablets, focusing on their formulation, efficacy in dental hygiene, environmental impact, and market potential. Drawing upon existing literature and market analyses, we explore the advantages of chewable toothpaste tablets, including their potential to reduce plastic waste, utilize ecofriendly packaging materials, and promote cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, we discuss the regulatory considerations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure requirements necessary for the successful adoption of chewable toothpaste tablets on a global scale. Through this analysis, we highlight the transformative potential of chewable toothpaste tablets in revolutionizing oral hygiene practices while contributing to environmental conservation efforts. Toothpaste tablets represent a novel approach to oral hygiene, offering a convenient, bite-sized format that, when chewed, transforms into a paste akin to traditional toothpaste. This research endeavors to develop and assess effervescent toothpaste tablets through a direct compressible method, presenting an ecoconscious alternative to conventional toothpaste. Tablets of 200 mg dosage were prepared via direct compression, with the powder blend scrutinized for various formulation attributes such as flow properties, compressibility, and porosity. Post-compression evaluations encompassed parameters like weight consistency, hardness, friability, pH, and foam formation. Following rigorous evaluation, the F3 formulation of 400 mg tablets emerged as the optimal choice, boasting favorable physicochemical attributes. These chewable toothpaste tablets offer a promising alternative for traditional toothpaste, promising improved oral hygiene outcomes.
