ES2597830B1 - Liquid formula of hydrogen peroxide as an active product with teeth whitening effect and bactericidal action in the oral cavity - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid chemical formula that has the property of whitening teeth and controlling oral bacterial flora, with the consequent prophylactic action on caries and halitosis of bacterial origin. # The active component is hydrogen peroxide ( H {sub, 2} O {sub, 2}) at a concentration of 8.25%. It also contains ethanol as a stabilizer. # The formula consists of: # {IMAGE-01} #The main advantages of this formula are the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (8.25%) and its liquid format. Its concentration of H {sub, 2} O {sub, 2} (8.25%) is advantageous, as bleaching and bactericidal, to liquid formats with concentrations of H {sub, 2} O {sub, 2} below 0 , 1%. # Its liquid format gives it the possibility of exercising its bactericidal activity throughout the oral cavity; something that cannot be exercised by other whitening agents that are presented in gel format or dental strips / sleeves.

DESCRIPTION

Liquid formula of hydrogen peroxide as an active product with teeth whitening effect and bactericidal action in the oral cavity.

Technical sector

The present invention relates to a chemical formula that has the property of whitening teeth and controlling oral bacterial flora, exerting an effective prophylactic action on caries and halitosis of bacterial origin. 10

It also incorporates a stabilizer to ensure the effectiveness of the formula.

State of the art

 fifteen

There are currently other bleaching products with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. On the one hand we find bleaching products that are marketed as mouthwashes or dentifrices with hydrogen peroxide concentrations below or equal to 0.1% that do not require the prescription of a dentist. On the other hand we find products with concentrations 20 higher than 0.1% that need the prescription of a dentist. These usually occur in gel format, in dental strips or covers with hydrogen peroxide concentrations greater than 10% and are applied for short periods of time.

This product, object of the patent, with a concentration of 8.25% differs from the previous 25 in the following aspects:

With respect to products of less than 0.1% concentration of hydrogen peroxide, it represents a significant increase in the concentration of peroxide, thus increasing the effectiveness of the bleaching and bactericidal power. 30

Regarding products with more than 0.1% concentration, it differs from them in that their format is liquid (not gel or tooth cover / strip). This causes the action of the product to be exerted in addition to the teeth, in the rest of the oral cavity, while the other products only act on the teeth. 35

In addition, the patent product would be of daily application (as a complement to tooth washing) in order to achieve permanent prophylactic action while the other products are only applied intermittently or on time. This is due to its presentation and because its concentration in hydrogen peroxide is lower than that of said products.

The product, in addition, would have a considerably lower sale price in comparison to the products of greater concentration, so it would be affordable for a greater part of the population. Four. Five

Explanation

The present invention relates to a chemical formula that has the property of whitening teeth and controlling oral bacterial flora, thereby preventing tooth decay and halitosis of bacterial origin.

The active component of the formula is hydrogen peroxide (with bleaching and bactericidal power). It also contains ethanol as a solution stabilizer to ensure its effectiveness. To complete the composition distilled water is added. The formula is described below:

 5

110 vol hydrogen peroxide. (33%) ........... 25 ml.

Ethanol 96 ................................................ ............. 10 ml.

Distilled water................................................ ..... 65 ml. 10

Container:

Black or opaque plastic bottle that has a drip device for easy administration 15

Advantages of the invention:

As mentioned in the previous section, the advantages of the invention are the following:

i. Regarding products with concentrations of less than 0.1%

Its concentration is higher so it has a more effective bleaching and bactericidal power. 25

ii. Regarding products with concentrations of more than 0.1%

Its format is liquid so it allows an action in the entire oral cavity by whitening the teeth and exerting a prophylactic action on caries and halitosis of bacterial origin.

Its application is daily (morning and night) so it has permanent effects, as opposed to the other products that are punctual.

 35

It would have a much lower price than the other formats so it would be affordable by a greater number of people.

Embodiment of the invention

 40

Given the peculiarity of the invention proposed here (it is a liquid chemical formula instead of a device or object) it is understood that in this section it might be more relevant to explain the optimal mode of application of the product.

For the best use of the product, 14-15 drops will be applied on a toothbrush in a horizontal position and the teeth will be gently brushed with the mouth closed. This will form some foam that must be kept in the mouth for at least one minute, then it must be expelled. The subsequent rinse is voluntary.

Industrial application

The product object of the patent can be produced by the pharmaceutical industry and could be distributed in dental consultations to reach users.
