What are disclosing tablets primarily composed of?

  1. Artificial sweetener

  2. Vegetable dye made mainly of erythrosine

  3. Sugar and gel

  4. Fluoride compounds

The correct answer is: Vegetable dye made mainly of erythrosine

Disclosing tablets are primarily composed of vegetable dye made mainly of erythrosine. Erythrosine is a red dye that is used in these tablets to help identify areas of plaque on the teeth. When the tablet is chewed, the dye stains the plaque, making it visible, and helping individuals to see where they need to improve their brushing and oral hygiene practices. This visual aid is crucial for dental education and promotes better oral hygiene among patients. While the other substances listed might be found in various dental products, they do not serve the primary purpose of disclosing tablets which is to highlight dental plaque.
