Problems solved by technology

However, it has recently been found to be less effective at cleaning root canal walls than sodium hypochlorite
These problems suggest that sodium hypochlorite and other alternatives including chlorhexidine are not entirely optimal; newer irrigants for dental use should be evaluated

Embodiment 1

[0143] Example 1: Prevention of gum disease

[0144] In view of the foregoing, it is an object of certain embodiments of the present invention to provide oral dental formulations capable of promoting an immune response to gum disease or tooth erosion. In this embodiment of the invention, a person who wants to promote oral care as described above uses the above-mentioned dentifrice by applying the dentifrice to his teeth with a toothbrush. After brushing with the dentifrice toothpaste of the present invention, the user maintains at least one ounce of the above mouthwash in the mouth for a period of time sufficient to inhibit gum disease or tooth erosion. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, this method is repeated several times a day, including in the morning, just before bedtime and after meals. These particular methods of introducing the composition may include virtually any method of introducing the composition into a subject to facilitate oral care, including the us...

Embodiment 2

[0145] Example 2: Increase Collagen Density

[0146] It is an additional object of certain embodiments of the present invention to provide oral dental formulations and methods that reduce gingival bleeding by reducing inflammation in the gingival sulcus and increasing gingival collagen density. In this embodiment of the invention, persons who desire oral care as described above use the dentifrice toothpaste described above by applying the dentifrice toothpaste to their dentifrice with a toothbrush. After brushing with the dentifrice toothpaste of the present invention, the user maintains at least one ounce of the aforementioned mouthwash in the mouth for a period of time sufficient to increase the collagen density of the gums. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, this method is repeated several times a day, including in the morning, just before bedtime and after meals. These specific methods of introducing the composition may include virtually any method of introducing...

Embodiment 3

[0147] Example 3: Reduce Plaque

[0148] It is an additional object of certain embodiments of the present invention to provide oral dental formulations and methods that reduce loss of periodontal junctions by reducing plaque formation and / or adhesion of plaque to teeth and surrounding oral tissues. In this embodiment of the invention, persons wishing to promote oral care as described above use the above-described dentifrice toothpaste by applying it to their dentifrice with a toothbrush. After brushing with the dentifrice toothpaste of the present invention, the user maintains at least one ounce of the above mouthwash in the mouth for a period of time sufficient to reduce plaque formation and / or adhesion of plaque to the teeth and surrounding oral tissue. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, this method is repeated several times a day, including in the morning, just before bedtime and after meals. These specific methods of introducing the composition may include virtua...

Abstract

Methods and formulations that utilize components of the Indian Mulberry plant, scientifically known as Morinda citrifolia L., to treat one or more oral and dental disorders, including periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, tooth decay, halitosis, and other mouth disorders and irritations.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to oral care compositions, and more particularly, to oral care compositions comprising components of the Indian mulberry plant (morinda citrifolia L.), for promoting healthy teeth and gums. Background technique [0002] Teeth are the only mammalian body tissue that does not undergo metabolic renewal, so they are virtually indestructible. Nonetheless, teeth are constantly under bacterial attack, which may cause decalcification of enamel and erosion of surrounding oral tissues over time. [0003] Teeth are hard, calcified structures embedded in the jawbone of vertebrates whose main function is chewing. Humans and most other mammals have a temporary set of teeth, called temporary or deciduous teeth; in humans, they usually erupt between the 6th and 24th month. These teeth total 20: 2 central incisors, 2 lateral incisors, 2 canines, and 4 premolars in each jaw. At about six years of age, the primary teeth begin to fall out ...
