Each component of Table 1 was prepared by chewing gum after quantification by weight%. The chewing gum thus prepared was tested for its effect through the following experimental example.

Experimental Example

Tooth whitening effect experiment was performed using the tooth whitening chewing gum prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-2.

To test the effect of teeth whitening, 24 adult men and women of 21-40 years old were selected and the teeth whitening effect experiment was conducted.

Experimental Method

A. Subjects were selected as those who enjoy coffee, beverages, tobacco, etc ..

B. Record all the teeth of the subject with the most similar numbers using the Vita shade guide tab.

C. The test subjects were divided into three groups of 10 people, and one group was to use the chewing gum of Comparative Example 1 three times a day for 30 minutes or more, and used a standard toothpaste and a standard toothbrush three times a day for four weeks. Is carried out.

D. The remaining two groups of subjects were allowed to use the chewing gums of Examples 1 and 2 three times a day for 30 minutes or more, and to use a standard toothpaste and a standard toothbrush three times a day, and conducted the experiment for four weeks. do.

E. After 4 weeks of experiment, use the Vita Shade Guide Tab to observe the change in the brightness of the teeth in front of the upper and lower teeth.

F. Vita Shade Guide Tab is the most widely used dental method for selecting and treating teeth with the closest brightness and chromaticity to human teeth. For the whitening of teeth and replacement of extracted teeth, This method is used to compare brightness and chromaticity so that it is indistinguishable from teeth.

Therefore, the number with the brightness closest to the subject's teeth was selected by using this vita shade guide tab before and after the experiment, and the difference was compared.

The tooth color numbers of the G. Vita shade guide tabs are shown in Table 2 below. Here, the lower the number of vita shade guide tabs, the darker the color of the tooth, and the higher the number, the brighter the color of the tooth.

      Color number of the tooth Identification of teeth One B1 2 A1 3 B2 4 D2 5 A2 6 C1 7 C2 8 D4 9 A3 10 D3 11 B3 12 A3.5 13 B4 14 C3 15 A4 16 C4

[Experiment result]

The results obtained through the above experimental method are shown in Table 3 below. As shown in Table 3, the degree of whitening in the case of using Examples 1 to 2 was higher compared to the case of using the chewing gum of the comparative example with the composition of a general chewing gum, so that the effect of tooth whitening using peroxide was effective. It can be seen that excellent.
