Abstract

ABSTRACT

The dentifrice composition contains synthetic hydroxyapatite powder which is preferably neutral or weakly alkaline and may contain 0.1 to 20% by weight of NaCl and/or KCl and 0.003 to 3% by weight of MgC12. The dentifrice composition is very effective in eliminating plaque from teeth and, particularly when containing the above chlorides, has a fortifying and remineralizing effect on tooth surfaces,

DENTIFRICE COMPOSITIONS
, The invention relates to dentifrice compositions.
According to the present invention there is provided a dentifrice o~osition containing synthetic hydroxya-patite powder. The ~omposition is preferably neutral or weakly alkaline, the preferred maximum pH value being substantially 9.
It has been found that the dentifrice composition of the present invention is effective in eliminating 6' plaque ~a colony of bacteria) from a tooth surface and also has some fortifying and remineralizing effect on the enamel coating of the tooth.
In general, a conventional dentifrice contains, as a tooth-cleaning and abrading agent, a mineral, such as colloidal silica, etc. While these abrading agents~are used to remove contaminants on teeth, it is essential that they do not harm the teeth.
The dentifrice composltion of the present invention contains a suitable amount of synt~etic hydroxyapatite powder which can remove plaque as well as substances con-taminating the teeth very effectively. We presume this isdue to the fact that the synthetic hydroxyapatite has a hard-ness similar to that of the enamel portion of the tooth and can impart an appropriate abrading effect on the enamel portion during brushing oE the teeth. We further presume that this is also due to the fact that the synthetic hyd-roxyapatite w~ich, in preferred compositions has an average particle si~e oP the hydroxyapatite powder of about 2 and a maximum particle size thereof 10~ or less,has a large surface area and an excellent absorptivity.
In accordance with the present invention the dentifrice composltion may further contain 0.1 to 20~ by weight of NaCl and/or KCl and 0.003 to 3~ by weight of MgC12, based on the weight of the composition.

It has been found that the presence of a mixture ofNaCl and/or Kcl with MgC12 in a dentifrice comp~sitic~
containing synthetic hydroxyapatite powder can effect-ively promote the elimination of plaque from teeth and enhance the fortification and remineralization of the surfaces of the teeth compared with compositions without these chlorides.
More specifically, the latter dentifrice composition of the present invention can deposit crystals of hydroxy~
apatite on the surfaces of the teeth more effectively than compositions withou-t these chlorides. We presume this is due to the fact that the solubility of hydroxy-apatite in water is increased in the presence of the chlorides specified above. More particularly, since hydroxyapatite is a salt which is only slightly soluble in water, the ion products of its ions (Ca ), (HP04 ), etc., dissolved and ionised in water in the dentifrice, are small. This means that the ion products present for promoting coating of the surfaces of the teeth, i.e. depositing crystals of hydroxyapatite on the surfaces of the teeth, are small. If, however, NaCl and~or KC1, and MgC12 are added to the dentifrice containing hydroxyapatite, the solubilities of Ca and HP04 are considerably increased thus, presumably, resulting in the observed enhancement of the coating eEfect on the teeth.
In cases where the amounts of NaCl and~or KCl, and MgC12 contained in the dentifrice composition of the present invention are smaller than those specified above, theenhancement of the coating effect, compared with that ac~ieved by compositions of the invention without these chlorides, is insufficient to be of much advantage while, in compositions having amounts larger than those specified above, it becomes difficult to give a comfortable feeling in the use of the dentifr~ce compositlon.

The dentifrice composition of the present invention may include various additives which are commonly employed in dentifrices and may further include, if desired,citric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, pyrrolic acid, glutamine, S prollne, serine, glyciner etc.
The invention will ~e further illustrated with reference to the foll~wing examples. Examples 1 to 7 and 11 to 17 respectively show formulations of the dentifrice o~ositions in accordance withthe present 10 invention in terms of parts by weight and ~xamples 8 to 10, 18-and 19 are to substantiate effects of the compositions of the present invention.

(22 ~o 25 years old), who had been using conventional, commercially available dentifrices. Thereafter, a similar dyeing operation was conducted one day, after they started 25to use the dentifrice of Example 1 and the plaque-stained areas before and after thechange of the dentifrice were ~xred.
In the case of A, the stained area aftex the change was about 10% of the initial stained area and it was confirmed that the decontamination of the plaque areas was about 90%. In cases 30B and C the decontamination ofthe plaque areas was abou-t 50%.
~.
Abrasive effects of dentifrices were tested using, for teeth,plate-form bodies made of sintered hydroxyapatite having a hardne~s slmilar to that of the enamel portion of 35a tooth. The plate-form bodies were each subjected to brushing using tooth brushes and different dentifrices for 60 minutes. The losses in weights of the respective plate~

form bodies were measured. In the result, the abrasive effects of dentifrice compositions of the present invention were similar to those of commercially available dentifrices (WHITE & WHITE and DENTER LION).

~ n adult's permanent tooth was sliced in two using a prisma adamantinum to form a section having a thickness of about 200~m. A saturated solution of hydroxyapatite was prepared by stirring hydroxyapatite powder into distilled 10 water in quantities equivalent to 1g hydroxyapatite per 100ml water. The supernatant liquid was passea over the prepared toothsection at a flow rate of 0.6ml/min. The section was observed continuously with the use of a polar-ization microscope and i-t was confirmed that the section 15 became coated with material resembling apatite crystals to a thickenss of about 1~m after 14 hours.
