Correct Answer: Sodium perborate
Description: All the denture cleansing powders and tablets contain detergent, flavouring agent, alkaline compounds and sodium perborate. The main component is sodium perborate. It decomposes in water to form a peroxide solution which inturn breaks down to liberate oxygen. These oxygen bubbles are the ones that remove the debri on the denture surface.
