AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a dental film-forming powder that can be used for the prevention and treatment of tooth decay, whitening of teeth, and aesthetic treatment by a film similar in color to the surface of a tooth. The dental film-forming powder can be quickly formed on the surface of a tooth without causing any burden to the patient, and the formed film layer becomes translucent. This makes it difficult to see the areas to be treated when films are formed on tooth decay parts, hyperesthetic parts, or exposed root surface parts. Therefore, it is important to color the formed film layer in order to define the area to be treated. The present invention also provides a film-forming powder that contains a color adjustor to obtain a film with stable color tone and minimal color unevenness, which can be blended to form formed film layers of various hues that patients individually desire. This contributes greatly to esthetic dental treatment.

Problems solved by technology

Although plasma spraying (Patent Document 5), sputtering (Patent Document 6), and a thermal decomposition method (Patent Documents 7 and 8) are disclosed as a method for forming calcium phosphate compound layers, these are not methods enabling coating directly teeth in the mouth.
However, since the efficiency of film formation is not enough to form hydroxyapatite films on the surface of enamel or dentine and integrate the hydroxyapatite films with the enamel or the dentine relative to the amount of sprayed powder and it takes a long time to form a film, and the formed films are highly soluble in acid, the methods have not been put in practical use yet.
However, heavy burdens of patients due to these invasive treatments of healthy dentine are regarded as a problem.
However, although devices and methods for spraying hydroxyapatite powders on the surfaces of teeth at high speeds and forming hydroxyapatite films on the surface of enamel or dentine have been proposed until now, apatite powders for forming films having a high hardness and extremely low solubility in acid in a short period of time or hydroxyapatite powders as color tone adjusting materials to use for aesthetic treatments, that are suitable to the color tones of various teeth have not been proposed.
However, in the case of methods involving mixing operation alone, when the composition varies due to insufficient mixing of powders or the like, it is considered that problems such as the color tones of formed films becoming uneven and the occurrence of color deterioration occur.

[Synthesis of Apatites]

1-1 Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite

[0067]A suspension of an apatite was produced by dropping an aqueous 0.3 M phosphoric acid solution (2 L) into an aqueous 0.5 M calcium hydroxide suspension (2 L) at room temperature. The pH of the reaction solution was adjusted to 10.5 by using aqueous ammonia solution. It is confirmed that the solution has been mixed thoroughly, and thereafter, this suspension was aged overnight. The obtained precipitate was filtered, and the solid matter was dried at 80° C.

1-2 Synthesis of Fluorine Apatite

[0068]An aqueous solution (2 L) was prepared by mixing 0.3 mol of phosphoric acid and 0.1 mol of hydrogen fluoride with 0.25 M calcium hydroxide suspension (2 L). The mixed aqueous solution of phosphoric acid and hydrogen fluoride was dropped into this calcium hydroxide suspension for 2 hours at room temperature. After the dropping was finished, the suspension was aged at 80° C. for 5 hours with the suspension stirred. The obtained precipitat...

[Preparation of Film-Forming Powders]

[0071]As an atmosphere furnace for calcining, a vacuum purge atmosphere furnace 2024-V (MARUSHO DENKI CO., LTD.) was used. As a device for grinding and classifying, the fluidized bed counter jet mill Counter Jet Mill 100 AFG (HOSOKAWA MICRON CORPORATION) was used.

2-1 Film-Forming Apatite Powders

[0072]Hydroxyapatite, fluorine apatite, carbonate apatite and magnesium-solid solution apatite synthesized as described above were ground with a mortar and calcined in the air, an argon gas atmosphere or a nitrogen gas atmosphere at 200 to 1350° C. or 600 to 1350° C. The calcined samples were ground and classified with a counter air flow mill to obtain hydroxyapatite powders of the respective samples, having a mean particle size of 0.5 to 30 μm.

2-2 Film-Forming Hydroxyapatite Powders in which Silica was Blended

[0073]As an ingredient other than apatites, 1% by weight of silica was added to the film-forming apatite powders synthesized in the above 2-1, and t...

[0075][Plasma Irradiation Treatment and / or Mechanical Energy Applying Treatment]

[0076]As a plasma irradiating device, the self-manufactured plasma generator was used. A 300 cc beaker was fixed on a slanted electric-powered turntable T-AU, rotated and used as a powder mixer used at the time of plasma irradiation.

[0077]The plasma generator is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. In the Figures, the reference numeral 1 indicates AC / DC converter (AC 100 V→DC 24 V), the reference numeral 2 indicates a cold-cathode tube inverter (DC 24 V→AC 1000 V), the reference numeral 3 indicates a booster circuit (Cockcroft-Walton circuit, AC 1000 V→AC 10 kV), the reference numeral 4 indicates a plasma nozzle, and the reference numeral 5 indicates a gas flowmeter. Mechanofusion AMS-MINI (HOSOKAWA MICRON CORPORATION) was used as a device for applying mechanical energy, and a Nanocular NC-ALB (HOSOKAWA MICRON CORPORATION) was used as a device that enables application of mechanical energy and plasma irradiation...
