About This Test

Tooth Powder Type-2, as defined under IS 5383:2021, is a fluoridated oral hygiene product formulated for daily dental care. It contains fluoride compounds in controlled concentrations, along with mild abrasives, surfactants, and other permitted excipients that aid in cleaning teeth, preventing dental caries, and maintaining oral freshness.

This type of tooth powder is intended for routine use and must conform to specifications related to fluoride content, abrasiveness, pH, and microbial safety. The product should be:

Smooth and free-flowing
Non-irritating to oral tissues
Safe for regular use
Effectively protective against cavities

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

Determine fluoride content to ensure it is within the prescribed safe and effective limit

Evaluate abrasiveness to confirm that the product cleans without damaging tooth enamel

Measure pH (3% aqueous slurry) for mucosal safety and product stability

Assess foaming ability and cleansing performance

Verify microbial limits to ensure the product is free from harmful bacteria or fungi

Check for heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury within permissible safety limits

Detect foreign matter and grittiness to avoid oral discomfort

Ensure labeling, composition, and packaging compliance with BIS standards
