Efferdent Denture Cleaner Tablets utilize an oxidative reaction to mechanically lift surface debris and chemically maintain prosthetic hygiene. The formula relies on a blend of alkaline salts and oxidizing agents to address odor-causing buildup and surface stains without the need for abrasive brushing.
Formulation Audit
The core mechanism is effervescence, which provides deep-action cleaning for acrylic resins. The formula is fast-acting, typically requiring a 5-minute soak to achieve a refreshed surface condition. Sodium Bicarbonate is utilized as a pH buffer, while Potassium Monopersulfate acts as the primary oxidizing agent.
| Key Ingredient | Function | Safety Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Bicarbonate | pH Buffer/Cleanser | Conditioning Agent |
| Potassium Monopersulfate | Oxidizing Agent | Oxidative Cleanser |
| Sodium Perborate | Bleaching Agent | Surface Maintenance |
Usage Protocol
To ensure a comfortable fit, hardware must be thoroughly rinsed after the soaking cycle to clear the formula from the prosthetic's surface before it is reintroduced to the oral environment.
