    ✯Dental products✯

The poor dental health is a very common problem in our countries  it is due to ignorance, illiteracy & habits of chewing betel leaf, tobacco & pan masala.
Tooth consist of three layer of calcified tissues.

1. Enamel— It is a white outer most ,hard covering present on the tooth projecting above the gum . It contains 98% of mineral & is very dense.

2.Cementum— It is the portion of tooth which is fixed in the gums & are not seen from out sides . It's a bone like structure.

3. Dentine — It is the main pulp cavity present in entire tooth . It consists 75% mineral. It is hard and dense .

The common problem associated with tooth are the formation of cavities, cleaning of tooth & reduction of shining over tooth .
These problem are over come by use of anticarries agents dentifrices & polishing agent.

Components of tooth paste-;

1. Abrasive ( remove stain) 
2. Humectant
3. Water
4. Binder , detergents
5. Flavouring and preservative agent
6. Therapeutic agents.

Anticarries agents-;

★ The problem of carries is associated with the diet of the people consuming high fermentable carbohydrates.
★ Carries occurs due to the action of lactic acid obtained from bacterial metabolism of dietary carbohydrates.
★ The build up of plaque over the tooth surface helps in decay & formation of cavities.
In these cavities food particles are degraded by bacteria present in mouth .

★ Brushing of tooth prevent lodging of food & maintain hygienic teeth.

★  Fluorides are brushed with other agents which helps is preventing carries . The use of Fluorides solution as internal Solution as well as absorbed in gastrointestinal tract & also effective as anticarries, but excess Fluorides are deposited in bone or developing dental Fluorosis ( mottled enamel).
These Fluorides acts by either bacterial inhibition or by decreasing acid Solubility of enamel.
★ Only 1ppm Fluoride in drinking water is recommended for anticarries activity.
Sodium fluoride & stannous Fluoride are incorporated in pure drinking water to achieve Fluoride level of 1 ppm.

Sodium fluoride-;

Chemical formula- NaF
Molecular weight- 41.99

Standards-— It contains not less than 98.5%& not more than 100.5% of NaF with reference to dried substance. 

Preparation-;
1. It is prepared by treatment of hydrofluoric acid with sodium carbonate in lead container.

2HF   +     Na₂CO₃   →   2NF   +    H₂O   + CO₂
Hydrofluoric
acid

(2.) 
  CaF₂    +    Na₂CO₃    →   2NaF    +    CaCO₃ 
Calcium
Fluoride

Physical properties-;
• It is colourless crystal or white powder and odourless.
• Soluble in water & insoluble in ethanol (95%).

Purity test-;
• Test for acidity or alkalinity .The boiling solution of NaF is titrated with 0.1M NaOH until red colour is produced.Not more than 1.5 N of 0.1M NaOH is required.

Storage-; stored in air tight container.

Uses— used in the treatment of prophylaxis of dental Carries in communities where the intake of Fluoride from drinking water & food in minimum.
NaF is used as a constituent of some insecticide & rhodenticides.

Stannous Fluoride-;

Chemical formula- SnF₂
Molecular weight— 156.69

Preparation— 
1. It's prepared by evaporating a solution of stannous oxide with hydrofluoric acid in absence of O₂.
 
SnO    +  2HF       →    SnF₂   +   H₂O

Physical properties— 

★ Colourless or white crystalline powder.
★ Bitter or unpleasant taste .
★ freely soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol & chloroform.

Chemical properties-;

(1. )
SnF₂  + 2H₂O     →   Sn(OH)₂  +   2HF
                                    Stannous
                                            Hydroxide
(2. )
SnF₂    +   [O]    →   SnOF₂
                                 Stannous oxy fluorides 
(3. )

SnF₂   +   [O]     →    SnF₄     + SnO

                                   
Uses-; 
It is used topically it is used for the prevention of carries & seems to be superior to NaF it has simple application & greater effectiveness.

Dentifrices-;

★ It is also called cleaning agent. These agents are generally coarse to fine powder with abrasive property.
★ The abrasive should be evaluated with respect to removal of stain from tooth .
★ These agents are mixed with detergents or soap or surface ion & flavouring agents.
These agents are used as ointment & powder odour.
Thickning agents like acacia, trogacanth , starch & cellulose are added.
★ The dentifrices also used with polishing agent. They decrease hypersensitivity of tooth.

★ It is also used to treat sensitivity of hot & cold conditions.

        ★ Manometer★ • It is a device of instrument which is Used to measure pressure difference. Types of manometer- 1. Simple manometer a. U tube manometer b. Piezometer c. Single column manometer 2. Differential manometer a. U tube differential manometer b. Inverted U-tube differential manometer Simple manometer-; Simple manometer are made up glass tubes one end of those remain open to the atmosphere and the other hand are collected to the point were pressure to be measure. Principle-; • It were one of the principle of hydrostatic equilibrium and is used for measuring pressure ( static pressure). • Exceded by a stil liquid or gas hydrostatic equilibrium state that the pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is equal and it's value is just the weight of the over living Fluids. • The manometer is the simplest instrument for gauge pressure low range pressure instrument alaning the pressure against the weight of a coloum In liquid. • The action of are manometer depen...

          //  Redox Titrations \\ • A Redox titration is a type of titration in which titrant and titrand react through and oxidation reduction reaction. • The end point of a Redox titration is detected by using indicators. Principles of Redox titration; Reduction—  • The subtances  can undergo reduction by followin. • The addition of hydrogen. •The removal of oxygen. • The acceptance of electrons. Example- fe³+→fe ²+  Oxidation— • Addition of oxygen. • Removal of hydrogen. • Loss/ donation of electrons. Example- fe²+ → fe³+ Oxidising agents;  •An oxidising agent is a chemical species that causes that other reactant in a redox reaction to be oxidized, and it is always reduced in the process. Example- Ag + , O², O³
