ABSTRACT:
The desire of improved palatability in orally administered products has prompted thedevelopment of numerous formulations with improved performance and acceptability. Mouth dissolving tablets (MDTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last fewdecades, and the field has become a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. Theunique property of mouth dissolving tablet is that they are rapidly disintegrating and/ordissolving and release the drug as soon as they come in contact with saliva, thus obviate therequirement of water during administration. this review also provides the detailed concept of some unique patents; technologiesdeveloped and marketed formulations of Mouth Dissolving Tablets(MDTs).The present investigation was undertaken with a view to develop mouth-dissolving tablets which offer a new range of product having desired characteristics and intended benefits. Mouth dissolving tablets are advantageous particularly for pediatric, geriatric and mentally ill patients who have difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets and capsules. The basic approach used in development of MDT is the use of super disintegrants like Crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose (Croscarmellose), Sodium starch glycolate (Primogel, Explotab). Polyvinylpyrrolidone (Polyplasdone) etc. whichprovide instantaneous disintegration of tablet after putting on tongue, thereby releasing the drug in saliva.

ABSTRACT
Disintegrants are substances or mixture of substances added to the drug formulation that facilitates the breakup or disintegration of tablet or capsule content into smaller particles that dissolve more rapidly than in the absence of disintegrants. In dosage forms, solid orals gain maximum popularities, about 85%, because of many advantages over others. The therapeutic activity of these formulations is obtained through a typical manner like disintegration followed by dissolution. Hence disintegration has major role for facilitating drug activity and thus gain popularity among other dosage forms. Superdisintegrants are generally used at a low level in the solid dosage form, typically 1-  10 % by weight relative to the total weight of the dosage unit. The present study comprises the various kinds of superdisintegrants which are being used in the formulation to provide the safer, effective drug delivery with patient's compliance. In this review article, more emphasis is given on application and usage of various superdisintegrants comparing with other disintegrants in reference to available scientific studies. The various sources of superdisintegrants and their modification to improve disintegration property are also high-lighted.
