About This Test

Tooth Powder Type-1, as specified under IS 5383:2021, is a non-fluoridated dental hygiene product intended for cleaning and polishing teeth. It is a free-flowing, fine powder composed of mild abrasives, cleansing agents, and other permitted ingredients that help in maintaining oral hygiene.

Type-1 tooth powders are formulated without fluoride compounds, and are typically used in regions or by individuals where fluoride exposure needs to be minimized. The product is designed to:

Clean teeth and remove debris effectively
Maintain oral freshness
Be safe for daily use without causing enamel damage
Be free from harmful substances and coarse particles

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

Verify abrasiveness to ensure it cleans teeth without damaging enamel

Ensure absence of fluoride compounds in accordance with Type-1 classification

Determine pH of 3% aqueous slurry to ensure it is non-irritating to oral mucosa

Assess foaming power and cleansing efficacy

Check for heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury within permissible limits

Evaluate microbial contamination for hygienic safety

Test for foreign matter and grittiness to ensure a smooth, non-abrasive texture

Ensure compliance with labeling and packaging standards under BIS norms
