The invention concerns a cleaning agent for dental use in the form of a pasty or liquid dispersion, containing between 10 and 30 wt. % of a combination of polishing agents comprising polishing agents based on silicic acid and aluminium oxide in a weight ratio of 10 : (0.2 - 2) and between 20 and 50 wt. % of a moistening agent from the group containing sorbitol, glycerin, propyleneglycol-1,2, polyethyleneglycol and their mixtures, comprising, for reinforcing the cleaning effect, between 2 and 12 wt. % of condensed phosphate from the group comprising tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate or trimetaphosphate in the form of alkaline salt or ammonium salt. In spite of their low abrasive values, said cleaning agents have an excellent polishing effect and a high cleaning power. |
