Since plaque control forms the basis for caries prevention, the type of toothpaste and its constituents becomes more important. Toothpaste containing fluoride are widely popular and fluorides have been historically reported to have effects against dental caries. However, the fluoride safe doses are still discussed ,because fluoride has toxicity and causing fluorosis. The aim of the current research is to find alternative agent that can be used without side effects.
Participants will be examined to ensure that they have met the smple entrey criteria,then the participants will be randomly assigned to four groups each one according to a group: 1. A group of children using low-fluoridated toothpaste (500ppm) 2. A group of children using fluoridated toothpaste (1450ppm) 3. A group of children using theobromine toothpaste (2%) 4. A group of children using low-fluoridated toothpaste (4%) The researcher will teach the participants how to brush using (tell-show-do)technique. * The brushing method that will be used is the fones technique. * Brushing duration must be 2minutes. * Frequency of brushing must be twice a day * The amount of toothpaste used is pea size. Mechanism of examination and follow up: A thorough scaling and plaque removal was conducted and the children were advised to brush their teeth using their regular toothpaste for a week before starting the research. Gingival will be evaluated with gingival index (loe and silness)

Children will be given low- fluoridated toothpaste, plaque score in groups will be assess pre given toothpaste in baseline,aweek,2week,and after 3weeks by using the TMQHPI for both buccal and lingual surface. Gingivalitis will be assess pre given toothpaste,aweek,2weeks,and after 3weeks by using gingival index (loe and silness).

Clinical evaluation of using low- fluoridaed toothpaste for children
Plaque scores will be assess by using the Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index(TMQHPI) for both buccal and lingual surfaces. Plaque will detect using plaque disclosing agent. Gingival scores will be assessed with gingival index(loe and silness).
