FIELD: dental hygiene.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions is related to the field of methods and means for jet powder brushing of teeth. Powder for use in a powder jet cleaning device for cleaning the surface of teeth by atomizing the powder contains granules with an average particle size of from 20 mcm to 220 mcm, which contain primary particles and a binder, where the primary particles have an average particle size less than the average particle size of the granules. The primary particles are made of a material selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate, mannitol, erythritol, glycine, trehalose, tagatose and mixtures thereof, and the binder is made of a material selected from the group consisting of cellulose, hemicellulose, methylcellulose, derivatives cellulose, maltodextrins, corn dextrins, amino acids, arabic gum, xanthan gum, guar gum and mixtures thereof. The use of the above powder in a powder jet cleaning device for cleaning the surface of teeth by spraying the powder; a method of cleaning teeth, comprising spraying the above powder through a nozzle onto the surface of a tooth together with a gaseous carrier medium, and a method of preparing the powder, including mixing a binder with water, spraying the resulting mixture onto primary particles and drying the particles to form granules are also proposed. The cleaning effect of the powder corresponds to the effect of the primary particles, and working with the powder corresponds to the conditions of working with the granules. Moreover, the abrasiveness of the powder according to the invention is lower than the abrasiveness of the primary particles alone.

EFFECT: group of inventions provides gentle and at the same time effective teeth cleaning.
