Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Composition for oral hygiene Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oral hygiene and in particular to solid compositions for the oral cavity and their uses for cleaning the oral sphere. Prior art
[0002] The oral cavity constitutes the first part of the digestive system. It contains many microorganisms that can develop abnormally, particularly in dental plaque, due in particular to a diet too rich in sugars, vitamin deficiencies, poor oral hygiene or an immune imbalance. These microorganisms can locally cause different types of conditions of the oral cavity such as halitosis, or bad breath, gingivitis and / or periodontitis, lesions affecting the oral mucosa and the tongue, such as mouth ulcers and other oral ulcers, as well as bacterial, fungal infections (or oral mycoses) such as candidiasis, dental caries, or delay or hinder healing in the case of oral surgery.They can also, since they are swallowed, have consequences in other parts of the body such as cardiac function, or cognitive function as for example in the case of Alzheimer's disease.
[0003] In particular, dental plaque protects pathogenic bacteria and allows them to develop in such a way as to unbalance the microbiota naturally present in the mouth. These bacteria can thus give rise to cavities by causing damage to the enamel, cementum, dentin or even the pulp depending on the stage of development. Indeed, the attack on the enamel by the secretions of the bacteria forms a hole which first appears as a whitish stain then progresses to the dentin and can blacken. The cavity progresses and gradually enlarges towards the pulp which ends up being colonized by the germs and necrosing. It can subsequently invade the underlying tissues or even pass into the general circulation. The infection can develop over several months or even several years.
[0004] Periodontal diseases include damage to the supporting tissues of the teeth, namely the gum, the alveolar bone, the periodontal ligament and the cementum. Depending on the tissues affected, we will speak of gingivitis when the inflammation affects the gum or periodontitis when the damage affects all the tissues. The bone loss resulting from these diseases is called alveolysis. Periodontal diseases are due to the development of dental plaque, particularly in the area between the gum and the tooth. They progress to loosening of the teeth.
[0005] Mouth ulcers and other oral ulcers are lesions affecting the oral mucosa and / or the tongue which most often result in swelling, sores or more or less significant structural changes of the mouth, tongue and lips and can be painful, unpleasant and troublesome for chewing, swallowing or speaking.
[0006] Typically, canker sores appear preferentially on the gums, tongue, and the inner edge of the lips and cheeks and often appear as rounded or oval swellings covered by a whitish or yellowish membrane that may be surrounded by a reddish border. Canker sores can result from poor oral hygiene, an allergy, poor maintenance of dental prostheses, a particular hormonal influence (menstrual periods or pregnancy), a vitamin deficiency, the ingestion of certain foods such as nuts or Gruyère cheese, certain medications, stress, or even diseases causing the appearance of canker sores such as Bechet's disease, which are often of viral origin.
[0007] Among fungal infections, candidiasis is an oral mycosis caused by the presence of a yeast called Candida albicans. Candidiasis most often manifests itself by the presence of plaques, which can be creamy, whitish-yellow or red in color, located on the tongue and the oral mucosa. Candidiasis is common in people wearing braces, newborns and people with a weakened immune system.
[0008] Furthermore, the oral cavity can also be the site of conditions essentially linked to bad breath (halitosis), gingival and / or dental sensitivity or be the site of proliferation of numerous bacteria.
[0009] Prevention of all these oral disorders generally involves good oral hygiene, often using systematic mechanical brushing of the teeth, ideally after any intake of food, drinks or other substances such as tobacco or medications likely to disrupt the physiological conditions of the mouth. However, in many contexts, this ideal is not achievable. Indeed, generally brushing teeth requires a water source and accessories such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.
[0010] There are already many compositions for oral hygiene. However, these compositions do allow for the temporary elimination, at the time of application, of pathogenic microorganisms responsible for oral disorders, but they do not prevent them from redeveloping, thus causing the same pathologies. Statement of the invention
[0011] The inventor surprisingly discovered that the combination of blueberry fruit extract in powder form and containing anthocyanins, probiotics and vitamin C in a solid composition made it possible to clean the oral cavity in order to eliminate the pathogenic flora responsible for oral problems but also, simultaneously, to reseed the microbiota with beneficial probiotics, thus making it possible to combat the reappearance of the pathogenic flora.
[0012] The present invention therefore relates to a solid composition for the oral cavity comprising: - (a) a blueberry fruit extract in powder form and containing anthocyanins, - (b) probiotics not containing yeast and - (c) at least one vitamin, advantageously vitamin C alone or in a mixture with other vitamins.
[0013] In the context of the present invention the terms "between ... and ..." and "in the range from ... to ..." mean that the limits of the range are included.
[0014] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "composition for the oral cavity" means any composition intended to act locally in the oral cavity. Thus, advantageously this composition is not intended to be swallowed immediately but must remain in the mouth long enough to release the blueberry extract and the probiotics in the mouth. It is therefore advantageously not a capsule.
[0015] The composition according to the invention therefore allows the local application, by topical route on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and / or the teeth, of each of the ingredients (a), (b) and (c), in particular simultaneously.
[0016] Advantageously, the composition according to the invention is not mucoadhesive.
[0017] In particular, the composition is not a multi-layer composition and therefore advantageously is homogeneous, that is to say that the compounds (a), (b) and (c) are distributed homogeneously within the composition.
[0018] Advantageously, the composition according to the invention is in the form of a lozenge, a chewable paste or a gnawing composition such as a dog gnawing bone, in particular a lozenge.
[0019] Advantageously, the lozenge dissolves very slowly in the mouth (3 to 5 minutes) in order to ensure an optimized application time.
[0020] The composition according to the invention is intended for animals, including humans, in particular mammals, more particularly humans and domestic carnivorous animals such as dogs or cats, even more particularly humans.
[0021] The composition according to the invention therefore comprises (a) a blueberry fruit extract in powder form and containing anthocyanins, in particular at least 20% by weight of anthocyanins, more particularly at least 25% by weight of anthocyanins. Advantageously, it is an extract of wild blueberry fruits (Vaccinium myrtillus), more advantageously obtained by extraction using a polar solvent, in particular an alcohol, more particularly ethanol, even more particularly an aqueous ethanol solution.
[0022] Advantageously, the blueberry fruit extract in powder form is obtained by atomization, more advantageously in the presence of maltodextrin.
[0023] Thus, in an advantageous embodiment, the composition according to the invention further comprises (d) maltodextrin, in particular in powder form. Advantageously, the proportion of blueberry fruit extract and maltodextrin in the blueberry fruit extract / maltodextrin mixture is in the range 55-80% blueberry fruit extract / 20-45% maltodextrin. Advantageously, the blueberry fruit extract / maltodextrin mixture in powder form according to the invention is commercially available from the company FERLUX under the trade name ANTHOCYAN 25%.
[0024] Blueberry fruit extract powder has both a chemical and mechanical action (by passing the grains over the oral surface) on dental plaque, which is generally responsible for oral diseases. It will therefore create an environment favorable to the reseeding of the beneficial flora present in probiotics (b).
[0025] In an advantageous embodiment, the content of blueberry fruit extract powder (a) of the composition according to the invention is between 0.0275% and 4% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, advantageously between 0.055% and 0.4% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, even more advantageously between 0.077% and 0.36% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
[0026] The composition according to the invention further comprises (b) probiotics not containing yeast.
[0027] Probiotics allow the re-seeding of the oral cavity with beneficial probiotics and therefore prevent pathogenic flora from reappearing.
[0028] Advantageously, these probiotics (b) are bacteria, even more advantageously bacteria chosen from lactobacillus, streptococcus, bifidobacteria and their mixtures, advantageously from Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus thermophilus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Streptoccocus salivarius, Bifidobacterium lactis and their mixtures, more advantageously georgeously it is Bifidobacterium lactis or a mixture of Streptoccocus sa-livarius and Lactobacillus reuteri, or a mixture of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus thermophilus or even a mixture of Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus helveticus and Lactobacillus reuteri.
[0029] Even more advantageously, the probiotics (b) according to the invention are tyndalized.
[0030] In an advantageous embodiment, the probiotic content (b) of the composition according to the invention is between 1 and 3% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
[0031] The composition according to the invention further comprises (c) at least one vitamin. Advantageously, (c) the vitamin is vitamin C, alone or in a mixture with other vitamins, in particular chosen from vitamins A, E, D, K2, B2, B3, B6, B9, B8 and B12, such as a mixture of vitamins A, D, K2, B2, B3, B6, B9, B8 and B12 or a mixture of vitamins A, E and B8, advantageously in a content representing between 20 and 40% of the RDA, in particular 30% of the RDA.
[0032] Thus advantageously, the composition according to the invention comprises (c) vitamin C, advantageously in powder form, in particular in a content representing between 10% and 20% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI), more particularly 15% of the RDI.
[0033] In the context of the present invention, vitamin C allows, in addition to strengthening the immune system, to activate wound healing. It is also involved in the synthesis of collagen which strengthens connective tissue (therefore the gum), ligaments and bone.
[0034] The composition according to the present invention may further comprise one or more ingredients chosen from mineral salts, sweeteners, bulking agents, sequestrants, humectants, omega 3, propolis, flavorings, acidifiers, trace elements, anti-caking agents, sorbitol and mixtures thereof, advantageously chosen from calcium, zinc, magnesium, selenium, omega 3, sorbitol, steviol glycosides, propolis, cassava starch, citric acid, flavorings and mixtures thereof.

[0077] The tablet is prepared in the same way as that of Example 1. Example 5: in vivo tests on periodontitis
[0078] 10 patients (men and women) aged 26 to 66 years and suffering from periodontitis at various stages were treated for between 20 days and 6 1 / 2 months using the anti-periodontitis tablets of Example 2 with the dosage: 1 tablet per day in outside of meals. The presence of bacteria and their quantities (strongly increased concentration +++, increased concentration ++, slightly increased concentration +, concentration below the detection limit -) were determined using BACTOdent before and after treatment.
[0079] All patients saw a decrease in the amount of pathogenic bacteria present in the mouth and therefore an improvement in their periodontitis.
[0080] In particular, the tablet is most effective on the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis and Eikenella corrodens. It is also very effective on the bacteria Cam-pylobacter rectus, Prevotella intermedia, Parvimonas micra. It is also effective on the bacteria Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Capnocytophaga gingivalis. It is a little less effective on the bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum.
[0081] The use of the tablet according to the invention therefore has a strong impact on periodontitis, allowing its treatment but also its prevention. Example 6: In vivo tests on candidiasis
[0082] A patient suffering from oral candidiasis of the tongue and palate was treated for 6 months using the anti-candidiasis tablets of Example 3 with the dosage: 3 tablets per day outside of meals.
[0083] The candidiasis disappeared after treatment.
