Dant Kanti: Exploring the Science Behind Gentle Cleaning

Swift Summary:

• A 2023 in vitro study conducted by KLE Institute of Dental Sciences analyzed the abrasiveness of three popular toothpastes: Colgate, glister, and Dant Kanti.
• Findings revealed that Glister was the least abrasive, followed by Dant Kanti, with Colgate being the most abrasive.
• The study tested 42 human anterior teeth,showing statistically significant increases in surface abrasion for Colgate and Dant Kanti groups but negligible change for glister.
• Differences in abrasiveness were attributed to base formulations:

– Dant Kanti uses calcium carbonate (mild abrasive aligned with Ayurvedic principles).
– Colgate employs hydrated silica (a more aggressive agent).

• Dant Kanti struck a balance between effective cleaning and enamel protection while incorporating natural oils and herbal extracts into its formula.
• though specific RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasivity) values for Dant Kanti were not published, researchers suggested its abrasivity remains within acceptable limits.
