Description

本発明は、歯質強化剤及びこれを含有する口腔用組成物並びに飲食物とそれらの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a tooth strengthening agent, an oral composition containing the same, food and drink, and methods for producing them.

一般に、齲蝕は、ストレプトコッカス・ミュータンス(Streptococcus mutans)やストレプトコッカス・ソブリナス(Streptococcus sobrinus)等の口腔内レンサ球菌(虫歯菌)が歯牙表面に付着し、これらの細菌が持っているグルコシルトランスフェラーゼ酵素の働きでグルカンを産生し、プラーク(歯垢)を形成することから始まる。そのプラーク中で、上記細菌が食物残渣中の砂糖やデンプン等を代謝することにより生成される酸が、歯牙エナメル質を脱灰し、いわゆる初期の齲蝕状態とする。   In general, caries is caused by the action of glucosyltransferase enzyme in the oral streptococcus (caries fungus) such as Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, which adhere to the tooth surface. It begins with producing glucan and forming plaques. In the plaque, the acid produced by the bacteria metabolizing sugar, starch, etc. in the food residue decalcifies the tooth enamel, so that it becomes a so-called initial caries state.

唾液にはカルシウムとりん酸塩が存在し、これらが、上記脱灰部分を修復すなわち再石灰化することによって、歯を元の状態に戻す作用をしている。つまり、歯牙表面では、脱灰と再石灰化という相反する現象が常に生起し、通常は所要のバランスを保っている。しかし、そのバランスはプラークが増大すると脱灰の方に傾き、齲蝕が進行する。   Calcium and phosphate are present in saliva, and these act to restore the teeth by restoring or demineralizing the demineralized portion. In other words, contradictory phenomena of decalcification and remineralization always occur on the tooth surface, and the required balance is usually maintained. However, the balance tends to decalcify as plaque increases and caries progresses.

歯牙表面のエナメル質を構成する結晶は、六方晶系のハイドロキシアパタイトCa10(POOHで、りん酸カルシウムから構成されている。初期の齲蝕で認められる脱灰は歯牙エナメル質無機成分の溶解であり、再石灰化は溶け残った既存のりん酸カルシウム結晶の修復と再成長および本来のエナメル質には存在していない結晶の出現であるということができる。齲蝕予防とは、虫歯菌に対する付着阻害、抗菌、あるいはまた虫歯菌のグルカン合成に関わるグルコシルトランスフェラーゼに対する阻害、歯の再石灰化促進、歯の耐酸性向上等をいい、その中でも特に歯の再石灰化促進、耐酸性向上等の効果を付与することを歯質強化という。 The crystal constituting the enamel of the tooth surface is hexagonal hydroxyapatite Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 OH 2 and is composed of calcium phosphate. The demineralization observed in the initial caries is dissolution of the tooth enamel inorganic component, and remineralization is the repair and regrowth of the existing calcium phosphate crystals that remain undissolved and the crystals that are not present in the original enamel. It can be said that it is an appearance. Caries prevention refers to inhibition of caries fungus adhesion, antibacterial activity, or inhibition of glucosyltransferase involved in carcinogenic glucan synthesis, promotion of tooth remineralization, improvement of tooth acid resistance, etc. Giving the effect of promoting oxidization and improving acid resistance is called enhancement of tooth structure.

また、象牙質の知覚過敏症は酸等が露出した象牙質から石灰分を溶出せしめることで象牙細管が開口し、そこに入り込んだ液体が熱や物理的な力などを受け、歯随の神経を刺激し痛みを感じるものである。従って、治療及び予防のためには象牙細管を閉塞もしくは象牙質の耐酸性を向上させる必要がある。根面う蝕の予防および治療においても、セメント質ならびに象牙質の耐酸性を向上させる必要がある。   Dentine hypersensitivity is caused by leaching of lime from acid-exposed dentin to open dentinal tubules, and the liquid that enters them receives heat, physical force, etc. It stimulates and feels pain. Therefore, for treatment and prevention, it is necessary to block the dentinal tubule or improve the acid resistance of the dentin. In the prevention and treatment of root caries, it is necessary to improve the acid resistance of cementum and dentin.

従来、齲蝕予防のために、虫歯菌に対する歯牙付着阻害剤、抗菌剤、あるいはまた、虫歯菌のグルカン形成を抑制するグルコシルトランスフェラーゼ酵素阻害剤等が開発されている。しかし、たとえば抗菌剤は虫歯菌のみに抗菌作用を示す特異的な素材ではなく、安全性に問題があり、グルコシルトランスフェラーゼ酵素阻害剤は唾液による影響を受けやすいという問題がある。   Conventionally, for preventing dental caries, tooth adhesion inhibitors, antibacterial agents for caries fungi, and glucosyltransferase enzyme inhibitors for suppressing glucan formation of caries fungi have been developed. However, for example, an antibacterial agent is not a specific material that exhibits antibacterial action only against caries bacteria, but has a problem in safety, and a glucosyltransferase enzyme inhibitor has a problem that it is easily affected by saliva.

また、歯牙の無機成分と類似の結晶構造を有するハイドロキシアパタイトとフッ化物を配合し、歯脱灰表層部を再石灰化する虫歯予防組成物が知られているが(例えば、特許文献1参照)、フッ化ナトリウム、モノフルオロリン酸ナトリウムまたはフッ化第一スズ等のフッ化物を口腔用組成物や飲食物に配合することは、安全性の点から問題がある。   Further, a dental caries prevention composition is known in which hydroxyapatite having a crystal structure similar to that of the tooth and a fluoride are blended to remineralize the tooth demineralized surface layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Incorporating fluorides such as sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate or stannous fluoride into oral compositions and foods and drinks is problematic from the viewpoint of safety.

さらに、ハイドロキシアパタイトの微粒子とキシリトールを組み合せ使用することによって、脱灰した歯牙エナメル質を再石灰化することが知られているが(例えば、特許文献2参照)、工業的に製造されたハイドロキシアパタイトは、化学的に安定な化合物で反応性に乏しく、厳密には生体における歯牙を構成するハイドロキシアパタイトとはその結晶構造が異なるため、再石灰化の効果が十分でない。   Furthermore, it is known to remineralize decalcified tooth enamel by using a combination of hydroxyapatite fine particles and xylitol (see, for example, Patent Document 2), but industrially produced hydroxyapatite. Is a chemically stable compound and poor in reactivity, and strictly speaking, its effect on remineralization is not sufficient because it has a crystal structure different from that of hydroxyapatite that constitutes teeth in living bodies.

なお、食品等への使用を考慮すると天然物由来の組成物を齲蝕予防組成物として用いることが適当であると考えられ、この条件に合うものを探してみると例えば茶抽出物がある。しかし、単なる茶抽出物では、従来、抗菌やグルコシルトランスフェラーゼ阻害等の齲蝕予防効果は知られているが、再石灰化促進や耐酸性向上等といった歯質強化効果は全く知られていない。また、茶抽出物からポリフェノール類を除去することにより、歯質強化にとってプラスに働くミネラルの比率を相対的に高めた歯質強化剤が知られているが(例えば、特許文献3参照)、この歯質強化剤は、天然物由来ではあるが、安全性、効果の面で十分とは言えないものである。   In consideration of use in foods and the like, it is considered appropriate to use a composition derived from a natural product as a composition for preventing dental caries. However, mere tea extract is conventionally known to have caries prevention effects such as antibacterial activity and glucosyltransferase inhibition, but has no known dental enhancement effect such as promoting remineralization or improving acid resistance. In addition, a tooth enhancer is known in which a polyphenols is removed from a tea extract to relatively increase the ratio of minerals that work positively for tooth enhancement (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Tooth enhancers are derived from natural products, but are not sufficient in terms of safety and effectiveness.

また、象牙質の知覚過敏症の治療に用いられてきた薬剤としては、フッ化ジアミン銀、硝酸銀、塩化ストロンチウム、フッ化第一スズ、フッ化ナトリウム、フッ化アルミニウム、乳酸アルミニウム、塩化亜鉛、水酸化カルシウム、パラホルムアルデヒド、ホルムアルデヒドなどの化合物がある。これらのうち、銀化合物は、象牙細管の閉塞性には優れるものの、著しい着色性を有し、一般的な使用には適していないという欠点を有している。また、それ以外の化合物についても、未だ充分な効果が得られているとはいえない。   Drugs that have been used to treat dentine hypersensitivity include silver diamine diamine, silver nitrate, strontium chloride, stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, aluminum fluoride, aluminum lactate, zinc chloride, water There are compounds such as calcium oxide, paraformaldehyde, formaldehyde. Among these, silver compounds have a drawback that they have excellent colorability and are not suitable for general use, although they are excellent in occlusion of dentinal tubules. Moreover, it cannot be said that sufficient effects have been obtained for other compounds.

一方、石化海藻については、免疫調節の不全に起因する体の異常を治療する効果や、固形又は半固形食品において官能特性や物理特性を向上させる効果、整腸効果等が知られている(例えば、特許文献4、5、6参照)。また、石化海藻には、高濃度にフッ素化合物が含まれていることが知られているが(例えば、特許文献7参照)、物理的方法による処理では、フッ素がほとんど作用せず、実際に歯質強化剤として使用することが出来ない。   On the other hand, as for petrified seaweeds, the effects of treating body abnormalities caused by immunoregulation failure, the effects of improving sensory characteristics and physical characteristics in solid or semi-solid foods, the effects of intestinal regulation, etc. are known (for example, Patent Documents 4, 5, and 6). In addition, it is known that petrochemical seaweed contains a high concentration of a fluorine compound (see, for example, Patent Document 7). However, in the treatment by a physical method, the fluorine hardly acts and the tooth is actually used. It cannot be used as a quality enhancer.

上記に鑑み、本発明は、口腔用組成物や飲食物に使用しても安全性において問題がなく、しかも、脱灰した歯牙エナメル質の再石灰化を効果的に促進するとともに、歯の耐酸性を向上することができる歯質強化剤及びこれを含有した口腔用組成物並びに飲食物とそれらの製造方法の提供を目的とするものである。   In view of the above, the present invention has no problem in safety even when used in oral compositions and foods and drinks, and effectively promotes remineralization of demineralized tooth enamel and is resistant to dental acid. It aims at provision of the tooth strengthening agent which can improve a property, the composition for oral cavity containing this, food-drinks, and those manufacturing methods.

The dentin strengthening agent of the present invention only needs to contain fossilized seaweed and acid, and may be blended by mixing the fossilized seaweed and acid in advance.

また、本発明の歯質強化用の口腔用組成物は、石化海藻と酸を配合するもの、あるいはまた、石化海藻と酸を混合処理したものを配合するもの、あるいはさらにキシリトールを配合するものである。   In addition, the oral cavity composition for dental enhancement according to the present invention is a composition containing a fossilized seaweed and an acid, a composition obtained by mixing a fossilized seaweed and an acid, or a composition containing xylitol. is there.

さらに、本発明の歯質強化用の飲食物は、石化海藻と酸を配合するもの、あるいはまた、石化海藻と酸を混合処理したものを配合するもの、あるいはさらにキシリトールを配合するものである。   Furthermore, the food and drink for strengthening the tooth structure of the present invention is one that contains a petrified seaweed and an acid, one that contains a mixture of a petrified seaweed and an acid, or one that further contains xylitol.

また、本発明の歯質強化剤の製造方法は、石化海藻と酸を含有させる、もしくはあらかじめ石化海藻と酸を混合した処理物を混合するもの、あるいはさらにキシリトールを添加する方法である。   In addition, the method for producing a tooth strengthening agent of the present invention is a method of adding a fossilized seaweed and an acid, or mixing a processed product obtained by mixing a fossilized seaweed and an acid in advance, or further adding xylitol.

さらに、本発明の口腔用組成物の製造方法は、歯質強化剤として石化海藻と酸を各別に配合させる、あるいはまた、歯質強化剤として石化海藻と酸を混合処理したものを配合する、あるいはそれらの歯質強化剤にさらにキシリトールを配合する方法である。   Furthermore, the method for producing an oral composition of the present invention comprises mixing a petrified seaweed and an acid separately as a tooth strengthening agent, or blending a mixture of a petrified seaweed and an acid as a tooth strengthening agent, Or it is the method of mix | blending xylitol further in those tooth strengthening agents.
