The article describes the most common types of toothpastes and materials used as inorganic abrasive polishing fillers therapeutic toothpastes available on the market. The prospects of using in the composition of therapeutic toothpastes and dentifrices for the teeth and mouth cavity of powders based on hydroxyapatite are evaluated. It is shown that in the products available on the market used biogenic hydroxyapatite submitted either in an inactive form, or containing deproteinized bone fish or farm animals (pigs or cattle). The prospects for the use of synthetic nanocrystalline apatite powder, purposefully developed for the plasticity of skeletal defects, in the composition of toothpastes and in dentifrice products – to replace inorganic components in their composition, consisting of chalk, kaolin, soda (in the lower price segment), is shown titanium dioxide or aerosil (in the upper price range), or biogenic hydroxylapatite (as part of innovative premium products), traditionally used as abrasive components.
