TH3678B - Mixture for use in the mouth against tartar - Google Patents

Abstract

Mixture for oral use Such as mouth rinses and pasty-like toothpastes, creams, gels, and powders that contain phosphonformic acid or their salts are anti-tartar. And choosing fluorine-supplying compounds for anti-caries, and methods of using such mixtures

Claims (11)

1. An effective method for inhibiting the growth of hydroxyapatite crystals associated with tartar by application to teeth, which is considered to be virtually negligible or, in other words, without damaging the dental enamel, is the use of phosphono-carboxyl compounds, which are characterized by their ability to improve the tooth's contact points in the oral cavity. Then, remove it with a mouthwash, toothpaste-like paste, gel, or cream mixture containing an orally acceptable carrier with a pH of approximately 4.5 to approximately 9. Such mixtures should be selected from the following groups: A. Mixtures containing an orally acceptable phosphonoformic acid or its salts in an effective concentration of approximately 0.01% to approximately 10% by weight, and a fluoride compound in an effective concentration of approximately 0.01% to approximately 3.0% by weight. B. Mixtures containing an orally acceptable phosphonoformic acid or its salts in an effective concentration of approximately 0.01% to approximately 10% by weight, and devoid of a fluoride compound in an effective concentration. 2. Method of contact with teeth of claim 1 concerning the use of trisodium hexahydrate of phosphonoformic acid as an anti-calcification agent. 3. Method of contact with teeth of claim 2 concerning the use of fluorine-containing compounds for anti-carcinogenic purposes in amounts that produce an anti-carcinogenic effect. 4. Method of contact with teeth of claim 1 concerning the use of compounds containing fluorine for anti-carcinogenic purposes in amounts that produce an anti-carcinogenic effect. 5. Method of contact with teeth of claim 1 concerning the use of the substance in amounts ranging from approximately 0.1% to approximately 4% by weight. 6. An oral mixture of the property under claim 1 containing approximately 0.01% to approximately 10% by weight of the substance. 7. The method of contact with the teeth of claim 1, in which the carrier consists of water and alcohol, and the mixture is a mouthwash. 8. The method of contact with the tooth of claim 1, in which the carrier consists of a liquid carrier, a gelling agent, and an abrasive material acceptable for use on the tooth, and the mixture is a toothpaste-like paste. 9. The method of contact with the teeth under claim 8 involves brushing the teeth with the aforementioned toothpaste-like paste mixture and then immediately removing the mixture from the teeth. 10. Method of contact with teeth of claim 1, in which the mixture also contains flavoring agents and sweeteners totaling approximately 0.01% to approximately 5% by weight. 11. Method of contact with the teeth of claim 1, where the carrier has a pH of approximately 6 to approximately 8.
