Mumbai: For the first time in the
field of dentistry, Curcumin – a concentrated extract of turmeric with its
excellent therapeutic effects has made its way as a pastille for preventive
oral health care. This first of its kind pastille christened ‘Dennkur’ was
launched in Mumbai and will be available with dentists across the
country. The product has been introduced by Denteks, leading experts in dental
technology of which Dr. Nirupam K Doctor and Dr. Lalit K Chokhani launched the
breakthrough product in the presence of several eminent doctors and
researchers.
The 100 per cent ayurvedic and
sugar-free medicine is backed by clinical and social trials and has proved to
be highly effective in preventive and therapeutic applications in a variety of
oral diseases including bleeding gums, receding gums, gingivitis, and
periodontitis, among others.
“Turmeric is an ancient spice and a
traditional remedy, known and acknowledged the world over. Curcumin is the
principle constituent of this spice with approximately 80 – 85 per cent
concentration and is very well-known for its anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory
properties, and is a strong anti-oxidant agent. Years of study and research
have conclusively proven that curcumin has a potential curative effect against
various diseases while remaining safe and non-toxic. In dentistry too, it can
decrease Aveolar Bone Loss occurrence in Periodontitis and prevents adherence
of Streptococcus Mutans to the gums and tooth surface, thereby preventing
Plaque formation and inhibiting dental Caries,” says Dr. Nirupam K Doctor,
Founder, Dennkur.
“Dennkur is a soft, in-mouth
dissolving pastille that contains Curcumin extract which offers the most unique
delivery system for Oral Health Care. This preventive care not only makes the
consumer confident but also provides an additional therapeutic adjunct in
dentistry,” he adds.
Since the recommended way to
consume the pastilles is by placing it in the mouth and allowing to be
dissolved, it bypasses ‘First Pass Effect’ on routine ingestion pattern. When
left in the oral cavity for nearly 20 minutes, the active ingredient of Curcumin
remains in contact with oral tissues which are the target site for remedial
effect.
“In our case the target sites are
the plaque and BIOFILM that attaches to the tooth surface which is the
beginning of all oral disease like gum disease and decay of teeth. So when one
consumes the pastilles as per dosage, it acts as the first point barrier and
healer. Being a routinely “edible” product, Dennkur a derivative of Curcumin is
a food and health supplement and in general, is a detoxifier of body to help in
healing several oral and general ailments,” concludes Dr. Nirupam.
Recommended dosage may range from
two to four pastilles per day depending on whether it is being consumed for
therapeutic, maintenance or preventive reasons. Dennkur will be available as a
strip of ten pastilles and a box of twenty are priced at INR 300/- with a shelf
life of twenty-four months.
