Tartar control denture adhesive compositions

Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-aqueous denture adhesive composition comprising a safe and effective adhesive amount of a denture adhesive, a safe and effective amount of an anticalculus agent; and non-aqueous denture adhesive carrier; wherein the anticalculus agent is a material effective in reducing calcium phosphate mineral deposition related to calculus formation. The present invention further relates to a method of delivering an anticalculus agent to the oral cavity and teeth, by applying the above composition to dentures, directly to the oral cavity, or applying it to both, and thereafter securing the dentures to the oral cavity.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 169,702, filed December 8,1999. Background of the invention

[0002] Dentures, dental plates, etc., which are generally removable, consist of teeth secured in a suitable plate or base. Denture stabilizers are used to fill the gap between the denture and the gum or tissue. Before the denture is placed in the mouth, the denture stabilizer is placed on the surface of the denture board, it should evenly contact the gums and oral tissues for a good fit. Denture stabilizers are not only formulated to be adhesive, but also to provide a lining or cushion between the denture and the gums or tissues, thereby holding the denture securely in place in the oral cavity.

[0003] Over the years, considerable efforts have been made to develop improved denture adhesive compositions. Synthetic and natural polymers and gums are used alone or in combination, and in combination with various adhesives and other materials,...

[0072] Method for preparing the composition

[0073] Methods of preparing the denture adhesive compositions (creams, powders, tablets, non-aqueous liquids, aerosols, pastes) of the present invention include conventional methods described in the prior art. Conventional methods are described in US5,525,652, Clarke et al., US3,003,988, Germann et al., October 10, 1961, US5,073,604, Holeva et al. It is described in US 5,872,161, Liang et al., issued February 16, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0074] A method of preparing a denture adhesive composition of the present invention comprising a non-adhesive self-supporting layer comprises applying a weighed amount of the adhesive component to the non-adhesive self-supporting layer. This method is described in US5,877,233 issued March 2, 1999 to Liang et al; US5,872,160 issued 2 / 16 / 99 to Liang et al; describe. They are all incorporated herein by reference.

Embodiment I

[0080] 1 Polyphosphate manufactured by FMC Corporation, where n = 21 (mean value).

[0081] Pigment red dye, petrolatum and mineral oil were weighed, heated and mixed at 50 to 60°C in a glass jar until homogeneous in appearance. The powders (silica colloidal, CMC, AVE / MA, AVE / MA / IB and TSPP or AHP or EHDP or Glass-H) were then weighed and shaken together in a container. Thereafter, the powder is mixed into the liquid with a spatula until a homogeneous cream appears to form. By increasing or decreasing the content of TSPP (0-15 grams), Glass-H content (0 to 15 grams), AVE / MA or AVE / MA / IB content (0 to 15 grams), petrolatum (0 to 15 grams) and / or CMC (0 to 15 grams) content, adjust the above composition. The above compositions may also be adjusted with any other suitable anticulus agent of the present invention. Put 0.1 to 5 grams of this cream on dentures. This denture is then incorporated into his or her mouth and pressed into place.

The above compositions may also be adjusted with any other suitable anticulus agent of the present invention. 0.1 to 5 g of this composition is placed on the denture and then moistened. This denture is then incorporated into his or her mouth and pressed into place.
