Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a solid cleaning preparation. More specifically, it relates to a solid cleaning preparation for cleaning intraoral appliances, including dentures, orthodontic retainers, sports braces, and their storage containers. Background Technology

[0002] Oral care is important for improving quality of life and is also useful for the prevention of systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which are considered to be associated with periodontal disease.

[0003] For people who wear dentures or frequently use removable retainers after orthodontic treatment, keeping dentures and appliances clean is also related to maintaining oral hygiene and overall health. Keeping dentures and retainers unclean can negatively impact the remaining teeth and periodontal tissues that come into contact with them, potentially leading to tooth decay and periodontal disease.

[0004] Dentures and retainers contain food debris, saliva film (from saliva) on the dentures, tartar, deposits of dental calculus, staining, etc. In contrast, denture care compositions such as food debris adhesion preventers (Patent Document 1) and cleaning agents that act on biofilms have been proposed (Patent Document 2).

[0103] Example

[0104] Next, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified in the table, the units of the component quantities in the table are all mass percentages.

[0105] Tablets of the examples and comparative examples having the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2 were prepared. Specifically, each component in the table was weighed and mixed by hand. The resulting raw material mixture was compressed into tablets using a mold with a diameter of 20 mm, thereby producing a solid dosage form for denture cleaning with each tablet weighing 3 g and having a hardness of 12 kgf.

[0106] [1] Evaluation test of water dissolution time

[0107] The dissolution time of these tablets in water was evaluated.

[0108] Specifically, the dissolution time was evaluated as follows: One tablet was added to 150 mL of warm water at 38°C, and the time until the tablet was completely dissolved was measured. Water with a hardness of 300 mg / L was used for this process.

[0109] [2] Cleaning effect evaluation test

[0110] The cleaning effect on these tablets was evaluated.

[0111] Specifically, the cleaning effect is evaluated in the following manner.

[0112] Following the JIS K 3370 test method, dentures with simulated dirt were fabricated and cleaned using various cleaning agents. Then, they were rinsed with tap water for 10 seconds, and the degree of dirt removal was visually observed. Complete dirt removal was marked as ◎, partial removal as 〇, slight removal as △, and no removal as ×. Water with a hardness of 300 mg / L was used for this process.

[0113] [Table 1]

[0114]

[0115] In the table, sodium metaphosphate represents the linear compound represented by NanH2PnO3n+1, while sodium polyphosphate refers to the mesh-like structure represented by NaxHy(PO3)(x+y)(X, Y≥1). Here, n is an integer greater than or equal to 14 (although not limited, it is typically around 14 to 30), and x and y represent integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0116] Regarding the results of the evaluation test, the compositions of the examples showed faster disintegration rates and better cleaning effects when using hard water compared to the compositions of the comparative examples.

[0117] [3] Evaluation test of bactericidal effect

[0118] For these tablets, the bactericidal effect (bactericidal power) was evaluated in the following manner.

[0119] (Target bacteria)

[0120] Candida albicans

[0121] (Cultivation medium for bacteria)

[0122] Add lecithin and polysorbate 80 to GP agar medium (glucose peptone agar medium) and use.

[0123] (Preparation method of bacterial culture)

[0124] The formulations of the examples and comparative examples shown in Table 2 were dissolved in 150 mL of purified water. Water with a hardness of 120 mg / L was used. Approximately 0.9 mL of this liquid was added to a test tube to prepare a test sample. 0.1 mL of bacterial suspension was added to the test sample and mixed thoroughly to ensure the target bacteria concentration was approximately 10. 5 ~10 6 cfu / mL. Then store at 25°C, and measure the number of viable bacteria in the test solution after 10 minutes.

[0125] The bacterial count after treatment is divided by the bacterial count before treatment to calculate the bacterial reduction value. The bacterial reduction obtained in this way is evaluated as follows.

[0126] The number of live bacteria is reduced by more than 99%: ◎

[0127] The number of live bacteria is reduced by more than 90% but less than 99%: ○

[0128] The number of live bacteria is reduced by more than 80% but less than 90%: △

[0129] Live bacteria count reduced by less than 80%: ×

[0130] [Table 2]

[0131]

[0132] Regarding the results of the evaluation test, a higher bactericidal effect (sterilization effect) was confirmed in the composition of the examples compared to the composition of the comparative examples. This shows that the bactericidal effect is also higher when using water with high hardness.
