Description

OZONE CONTAINING ORAL HYGIENE COMPOSITIONS
The present invention refers to a composition for the hygiene of the oral cavity or of prosthesis articles in particular in the form of dentifrice, mouthwash, oral spray, chewing gum, plaster for aphthae or disinfectant solution for prosthesis articles.
Deeply felt problems in dentistry are the elimination of gum bleeding, halitosis and the treatment and prophylaxis of the periodontal disease. Especially the periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss. Said gum inflammatory and degenerative conditions, as well as halitosis, are caused by the presence of bacteria, in particular anaerobic bacteria such as the spirochetes. The spirochetes are the chief responsible agent for halitosis and the periodontal disease.
Currently a great number of dentifrices and mouthwashes, having a high cleansing, whitening, refreshing, anti-bacterial action, are present on the marketplace. Said products act only superficially, i.e., in the gingival sulcus (0.5-
1 ,5 mm) and do not perform an anti-bacterial activity against the spirochetes and the resistant species.
Ozone is an unstable gas with a high oxidizing power that makes it an effective disinfectant. Due to this property it is utilized for the depuration of water as, for example, of wastewater, swimming pool water and the like.
Ozone is utilized in medicine and it is administered as a gas subcutaneously, intramuscularly or by autohemotherapy in which, the ozone is mixed with the patient's blood and reintroduced in the body. US-A-5 945 391 discloses an disinfectant in high concentrations of at least 4,97 g/l US-A-5 945 391 discloses a disinfectant containing ozone in high concentrations of at least 4.97 g/l, comprising a glycol or a tertiary alcohol and a compound selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, t-butanol, hydrogen peroxide and mixtures thereof.
There are also on the marketplace cosmetic preparations in cream or serum, containing ozone, which are used for skin revitalisation.
The present invention refers to compositions for the hygiene of the oral cavity or of prosthesis articles, containing ozone and an orally acceptable vehicle. The compositions according to the present invention contain ozone in a concentration of from 0.01 to 80 μg /ml, preferably from 0.5 to 5 μg /ml. The compositions according the present invention allow an optimum disinfection of the oral cavity together with an epithelium regenerative action. The disinfecting action of the inventive compositions is performed in depth, acting also against the anaerobic bacterial species, such as spirochetes, allowing the reduction - up to their elimination - of halitosis and of gum bleeding as well as the prevention and treatment of the periodontal disease and of the other gum inflammatory and degenerative conditions. Furthermore, the ozone, although a strong oxidant, does not perform an aggressive action against titanium, gold, molybdenum, cobalt, which are metals commonly used in prosthesis articles and osteointeg rated implants, contrary to fluorine and in particular stannous fluoride which are normally used in toothpastes and damage titanium. Orally acceptable vehicle" means any carrier suitable for use in the oral cavity. Such vehicles include the usual components of dentifrices, mouthwashes, oral sprays, chewing gums, plasters for aphtes, well known to those skilled in the art. In the case of dentifrices the orally acceptable vehicle may be anhydrous but preferably it is an aqueous orally acceptable vehicle capable of forming a semi- solid extrusible material. Generally, the orally acceptable vehicle will comprise a binder o thickener, such as natural or synthetic gums, e.g., xanthan gum, karaya gum, arabic gum, tragacanth gum, carrageenan, alginates, cellulose derivatives, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose or colloidal magnesium aluminum silicate or silica. Furthermore, synthetic vinyl polymers, e.g. polyacrylates or carboxyvinyl polymers , such as Carbopol™ may be used. The binder or thickener is usually employed in an amount of from 0.5 to 5.0% by weight of the total composition. Furthermore, the orally acceptable vehicle usually comprises a humectant such as glycerine, sorbitol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, xylitol, lactitol and other polyhydric alcohols usually in an amount ranging from 15 and 70% by weight of the total composition.
Furthermore the orally acceptable vehicle may comprise abrasive substances such as, e.g., silicas, including gels and precipitates thereof, calcium carbonate, calcium orthophosphate dihydrate, calcium pyrophosphate, tricalcium phosphate, calcium polymethaphosphate, insoluble sodium polymethaphosphate, hydrated alumina and the like. Usually the abrasives are present in an amount ranging from 6 to 70% by weight of the total composition. The orally acceptable vehicle may furthermore contain emulsifying agents, flavour and sweetening agents, preservatives, pH adjusting agents, and the like.
In the case of mouthwashes, the orally acceptable vehicle usually comprises a water/ethyl alcohol solution and flavouring agents, sweeteners, humectants, emulsifiers. As humectants, glycerine and sorbitol are usually used.
In the case of plasters for aphtes, fibrin or epithelium regenerating substances may be present.
The compositions according to the present invention can be prepared according the usually used methods for preparing dentifrices and mouthwashes but with a final addition of ozone to the mixture by introducing an ozone-containing gas into a mixing vessel that contains the stirred mixture as, for example in US 5 945 391.
In the following examples the percentages are reported by weight of the total composition.
