Methods: The toothpaste obtained was tested for 28 days regarding physical stability including pH, viscosity, foam height, homogenous, color, smell, and taste. The effectiveness of the antiplaque dentifrice preparations was tested on 25 volunteers for seven days. Results: The results showed that for the physical stability pH, viscosity, homogeneity, high foam, color, and smell meets the requirements and preparation do not irritate the skin. ANOVA statistical test (p <0.05) showed that there was a significant difference between the average deviation of plaque score group toothpaste containing a combination of bromelain and papain. But at Posthoc Test, the average difference of toothpaste plaque score group showed no significant difference Conclusions: It can be concluded that the toothpaste containing a combination of bromelain and papain meet the requirements of the physical stability and affect the effectiveness of anti-plaque toothpaste with the most efficient combination is 4.25%:0.75%
