DENTAL PRODUCTS
Dental hygiene is the most

important for human body.
There are many products
present in the market for the
dental hygiene of the teeth
and are considered as dental
products
TYPES OF DENTAL PRODUCTS
 ANTICARIES AGENT
 DENTIFRICES
 DESENSITIZING AGENTS
 MOUTH WASHES
 CEMENTS AND FILLERS
Dental caries is a disease of teeth
cause by acids produced by the
action of microorganisms on
carbhohydrates
 To prevent dental caries, anticaries
agents are used.
 Eg: Fluorides, sodium fluoride,

stannous fluoride, Sodium
monofluorophosphate
Role of Fluoride
 Fluoride ion is a trace material which occurs in our
body.
 It can be obtained from food and water.
 Dental caries mainly obtained mainly lack of
fluoride in drinking or ground water. It helps in
preventing dental caries.
 Fluoride forms a extra layer on teeth and prevent
tooth decay.
 We get fluoride from municipality water and
process is called Fluoridation (Not fluorination).
 If there is huge fluoride is present on teeth it is
known as dental fluorosis. It may produce several
side effects to toxic effects includes heart attack and
Mechanism of action of fluoride ion involved
in prevention of teeth decay by not allow the
action of acids or enzymes.
It can administered in to either orally or
topically.
SODIUM FLUORIDE
Formula: NaF
Preparation
It is prepared by neutralising hydrofluoric acid with sodium
carbonate.
2HF + Na2CO3 2NaF + H2O + CO2
Another method involves the double decomposition of

calcium fluoride with sodium carbonate.
CaF2 + Na2CO3 2NaF + CaCO3

Properties
STATE: fine crystals
COLOUR: white or colorless
ODOUR: Odourless
SOLUBILITY: Soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol.

Assay : Complexometric titration
Procedure: Take sample + adequate distilled water
And add small amt of alcohol added to above solution.
Mixture is heated to boiling and add lead nitrate (drop wise)

added with stirring
Cooled, precipitate is filtered, residue washed with dil. Alcohol.
Filtrate is titrated against disodium EDTA using xylenol orange

as indicator
Dentifrices
 Dentifrices is a material which is used
for cleaning of teeth and adjacent
gums.
 Dentifrices are applied as powders or
pastes.
 Mainly phosphate is used in dentifrices
as a cleaning agent
Compounds used in Dental Products
 CALCIUM CARBONATE
 DIBASIC CALCIUM PHOSPHATE
 CALICUM PHOSPHATE
 SODIUM METAPHOSPHATE
 STRONTIUM CHLORIDE
DI BASIC CALCIUM PHOSPHATE
Synonyms:
Dicalcium phosphate, dicalcium orthophosphate, calcium
hydrogen phosphate.
M.F : CaHPO4.2H2O
M.W: 172.09
Preparation:
CaCl2 + Na2HPO4 ----------- CaHPO4 + 2NaCl
P.P:
White fine powder, odourless, tasteless, insoluble in
water. It exposed to air longer time , it looses their
original mass by removal of water molecules.
C.P:
Initially CaHPO4 is insoluble in water but in presence
of acid it converts to soluble monobasic calcium
phosphate and CaCl2 in the stomach.
2CaHPO4 + 2HCl -------------- Ca(H2PO4)2 + CaCl2
Assay: Potentiometry
Procedure: Sample + 20 ml D.W. in 250ml Beaker
---- Add 40 ml of 1N HCl and add 40ml of D.W ----
Titrate against 1N of NaOH to get endpoint.
Storage: Well closed air tight containers
Use: Act as dentifrices.
ZINC CHLORIDE
M.F: ZnCl2
M.W : 136.3
Percentage of purity: 95-100%
Preparation :
Zn + 2HCl -------- ZnCl2 + H2
ZnO + 2HCl ------ ZnCl2 + H2O
ZnCO3 + 2HCl ----- ZnCl2 + H2CO3
P.P : white, crystalline or granules, odourless, deliquescent.

Very soluble in water, freely soluble in alcohol and glycerine.
Aq. Solutions are distinct (clear) acidic (pH - 4).
C.P : Hydrolysis
ZnCl2 + H2O ----- Zn (OH) Cl + HCl

basic nature

Assay: Complexometric titration
Procedure:
Few amt of sample (0.1 gm) + Few amt of D.W
Add few drops of HCl to the above solution
Then again add 100 ml of water to diluted a solution.
Add 15ml of NaOH and 300mg of hydroxynapthol blue as an

indicator and titrated against Std 0.05M disodium EDTA
Uses:
Finds use externally as a dentifrice because it is having mild
abrasive quality
Finds use internally as an antacid.
