The invention relates to oral hygiene products containing modified clinoptilolite, such as toothpastes, chewing gums, mouthwashes and toothpastes and dentures.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Modified clinoptilolite, known as particulate milled <0.1 mm natural clinoptilolite, is known to be dehydrated and sterilized at a temperature of 200 to 250 ° C for 2 hours or more [1].

Its applications for the prevention and treatment of various diseases are known [1, 2, 3].

An effervescent toothpaste containing natural clinoptilolite as a carrier of the effervescent agent is known [4]. The famous toothpaste is complex and expensive to manufacture.

There is no known oral cleanser containing the known modified clinoptilolite as the active ingredient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the invention to provide oral hygiene products with enhanced cleaning properties, such as toothpastes, chewing gums, mouthwashes, and dental cleaning powders and dentures containing modified clinoptilolite as active ingredient.

This task is solved by creating an oral hygiene tool such as toothpaste, chewing gum, mouthwash, and toothpaste and dental prostheses containing clinoptilolite as the active ingredient. According to the invention, the clinoptilolite is modified to a particle size <0.1 mm, thermally treated, dehydrated and sterilized at a temperature of 200 to 250 ° C for 2 hours or more.

A toothpaste is also made up of conventionally used active ingredients, flavors, sweeteners, colorants and fillers, including the addition of modified clinoptilolite from 1 to 10 wt. %.

Toothpaste can also contain vitamins, plant extracts, natural alkali and other additives in proportion and shape according to known recipes.

Tooth powder is also made up, consisting of known ingredients, flavors, sweeteners and colorants, containing an addition of modified clinoptilolite from 1 to 50% by weight. %.

A denture cleaning powder, consisting of sodium bicarbonate and modified clinoptilolite, is also created in a 1: 1 ratio.

A chewing gum consisting of known ingredients, flavors, sweeteners and colorants is also produced, containing an addition of modified clinoptilolite of 1 to 5 wt. %.

Mouthwash containing water, known active ingredients, flavors, sweeteners and colorants is also created, including an addition of modified clinoptilolite from 0.1 to 1 wt. % with particle size <0.01 mm.

The mouthwash according to the invention may also include vitamins, plant extracts, propolis, natural alkali and other additives in proportion and form according to known formulations.

It is an advantage of the invention that oral hygiene agents such as toothpastes, chewing gums, mouthwashes, and dental cleaning powders and dentures containing modified clinoptilolite as active ingredient have enhanced cleaning properties.

Exemplary embodiment and operation of the invention

The beneficial effect of modified clinoptilolite as an additive for toothpastes and other oral hygiene agents is determined by its properties as an effective molecular sieve and absorber for the absorption of putrefactive decomposition nitrogen and other food residues. Because the mineral hardness of the clinoptilolite mineral is between 3.5 and 4 (Mohs scale), it has a cleaning effect without disturbing the enamel layer of 6-7 hard teeth (Mohs scale), until the enamel gloss is restored. The clinoptilolite

65539 Bl also helps to clean the tartar by converting it into a soluble suspended form that is easily removed when cleaning the teeth.

The modified clinoptilolite is obtained on the basis of natural clinoptilolite. Natural clinoptilolite is ground by known methods to a particle size of <0.1 mm.

The crushed clinoptilolite thus obtained with the corresponding granulometric composition is subjected to thermal treatment at a temperature of 200 to 250 ° C for 2 hours or more, during which the clinoptilolite is dehydrated and sterilized.

In the described heat treatment, the resulting modified clinoptilolite acquires a very high absorption capacity, which improves its properties.

Toothpaste comprising a modified clinoptilolite supplement consists of conventionally used active ingredients, such as known active compounds of phosphorus and fluorine, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, medical alkali and other components such as water, sorbitol, sodium lithium , known harmless flavors, fresheners, sweeteners, colorants and fillers such as cellulose and others. The amount of modified clinoptilolite is from 1 to 10 wt. %. An appropriate amount of modified clinoptilolite was added to the solid powder mixture before the addition of water. It is possible to add clinoptilolite to the prepared toothpaste mixture in the final preparation step, stirring well until complete homogenization.

For toothpastes with modified clinoptilolite supplement for various purposes, other active ingredients are added, such as vitamins, plant extracts, natural alkali and other additives in proportion and shape according to known formulations.

The use of modified clinoptilolite as a toothpaste supplement and other oral cleansers is further illustrated in the following examples.

Example 1. Toothpaste with modified clinoptilolite containing known active ingredients, flavors, sweeteners, colorants and fillers, the amount of wedge ptolithol being 1 wt. %. The paste is suitable for use by children and adults for daily use.

Example 2. Toothpaste with modified clinoptilolite containing known active ingredients, flavors, sweeteners, colorants and fillers, the amount of clinoptilolite being 5 wt. %. The paste is suitable for use by children and adults in the predisposition to caries. Daily use of the paste cleans and effectively protects the enamel of the teeth and at the same time slows down the process of expansion of superficial enamel disorders such as caries.

Example 3. Toothpaste with modified clinoptilolite containing known active ingredients, flavors, sweeteners, colorants and fillers, the amount of clinoptilolite being 10 wt. %. The paste is suitable for use by adults in the predisposition to tartar formation. The modified clinoptilolite helps to break down and clean the tartar already formed. Due to its clearing properties, clinoptilolite prevents the buildup of tartar.

Example 4. Toothpaste with modified clinoptilolite containing known active ingredients, flavors, sweeteners, colorants and fillers, including vitamin C. The amount of clinoptilolite is from 5 to 10 wt. %, and of vitamin C from 0.1 to 0.5 wt. %. It is advisable in the manufacture of the paste to add to the mixture alkalizing agents such as, for example, NaHCO ₃ , to a pH of about 6, to partially neutralize the acidity of vitamin C and improve the organoleptic properties of the paste. The paste is suitable for use by adults with a predisposition to gum disease, such as periodontal disease.

Another application of modified clinoptilolite is as a dental powder supplement.

EXAMPLE 5 Tooth powder consists of known ingredients such as active compounds of phosphorus and fluorine, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, as well as flavors, sweeteners and colorants. The powder also contains an admixture of modified clinoptilolite from 1 to 5 wt. %. The powder is suitable for daily use for cleaning

65539 Bl of the oral cavity, also having a disinfectant effect.

Example 6. Tooth powder consists of:

- Sodium bicarbonate - 50 wt. %;

- propolis from 1 to 10 wt. %;

- modified clinoptilolite from 40 to 45 wt. %;

- flavors and fresheners.

The powder is suitable for disinfecting the oral cavity and for removing aphthae and herpes.

EXAMPLE 7 Powder for denture cleaning consists of sodium bicarbonate and modified clinoptilolite in a 1: 1 ratio. After use, the dentures are moistened and dusted, stand for 10-15 minutes, then cleaned with a brush and water.

Another application of modified clinoptilolite is as a chewing gum supplement. Chewing gum may also contain other active ingredients such as vitamin C, herbal extracts and more.

EXAMPLE 8 A prophylactic chewing gum consisting of known ingredients, flavors, sweeteners and colorants, and the addition of modified clinoptilolite according to the invention in an amount of from 1 to 5% by weight. %. Daily use of chewing gum after eating helps to clean up residual breakdowns from food and to normalize the pH in the oral cavity.

Another application of modified clinoptilolite is as an oral water supplement.

Example 9. Mouthwash contains water, known active ingredients, flavors such as mint and / or other plant extracts, sweeteners and colorants. The modification of modified clinoptilolite is from 0.1 to 1 wt. % with particle size <0.01 mm. The modified clinoptilolite was added to water, allowing it to precipitate over the coarse fraction and then decanted to give a stable suspension containing an appropriate amount of clinoptilolite with a particle size <0.01 mm. Mouthwash is used for bubbling, spraying and flushing the oral cavity, with modified clinoptilolite helping to remove putrefactive residues from food, to disinfect and freshen the mouth.

Example 10. Mouthwash consists of:

- 30% alcohol solution of propolis from 1 to 10 wt. %;

- modified clinoptilolite from 0.1 to 1 wt. % with a particle size <0.01 mm;

- flavors and colorings, in quantities according to known recipes and industry norms;

- water - up to 100 wt. %.

Clinoptilolite is added to the water as described in Example 8. Oral water is for daily use and is especially suitable for disinfection and removal of aphthae in the oral cavity.
