[0002] Recently, prevention of periodontal disease has been attracting attention, and various mouthwashes have been developed. For the technology of such mouthwashes, reference can be made to the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-34134 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the above-mentioned mouthwashes are expensive, and there has been a demand for the development of a technology that can prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of these circumstances, and aims to provide a mixture, filler, liquid, mouthwash, and beverage that can prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the mixture of the present invention contains a porous body to which a photocatalyst has been baked (calcined), and when immersed in a specified liquid, an active ingredient is generated, and the active ingredient has an inhibitory effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0007] According to the mixture of the present invention, when immersed in a predetermined liquid, an active ingredient is generated, and the active ingredient has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity, thereby enabling inexpensive and easy prevention of periodontal disease. In other words, by simply immersing the mixture in a predetermined liquid, the user can generate and use an active ingredient that has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity, allowing inexpensive and easy prevention of periodontal disease.

[0008] By using a copper-doped visible light responsive photocatalyst as the photocatalyst, the bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria can be improved even in the oral cavity in a dark place.

[0009] The photocatalyst is a copper-doped visible light responsive photocatalyst, and silver is added to it, thereby further improving the bacteriostatic effect against periodontal disease bacteria.

[0010] The photocatalyst is preferably a titania photocatalyst.

[0011] The titania catalyst is liquid and contains at least one of a copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder dispersion, a mixed dispersion of peroxo-modified anatase sol, and a peroxotitanic acid solution, thereby generating an active ingredient that further has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0012] The copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder dispersion preferably contains 0.5 to 2 wt % of copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder, which is titanium oxide powder doped with 0.1 wt % or more of copper.

[0013] The peroxo-modified anatase sol preferably contains 0.5 to 2 wt % of peroxotitanic acid-based anatase-type titanium oxide.

[0014] The titania catalyst further contains a silver oxide compound, which can further increase the amount of active ingredients that have an inhibitory effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0015] The silver oxide compound is preferably contained in the titania catalyst solution at 0.01 to 0.03 wt %.

[0016] By containing bakuhanseki, the porous body can generate an active ingredient that also has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0017] Furthermore, by including silica, a mineral component can be added, and the bacteriostatic effect against periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity can be improved.

[0018] Furthermore, by including vitamins, it is possible to add oxidation-reduction power, and it is possible to improve the bacteriostatic effect against periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0019] The vitamins may contain vitamin C, which can further impart redox power.

[0020] In order to achieve the above object, the packed body according to the present invention is characterized by being constructed by filling the above mixture into a predetermined container.

[0021] According to the filling material of the present invention, when it is immersed in a specified liquid, an active ingredient is generated, and the active ingredient has an inhibitory effect on periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity, making it possible to prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily.

[0022] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the liquid material of the present invention is characterized by containing an active ingredient that has an antibacterial effect on periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity, which is generated by immersing the above-mentioned mixture or the above-mentioned filling material in a specified liquid.

[0023] According to the liquid of the present invention, the above mixture or the above filling material is immersed in a specified liquid and contains an active ingredient that has an antibacterial effect on periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity, making it possible to prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily.

[0024] In order to achieve the above object, the mouthwash according to the present invention is characterized by containing the above liquid material.

[0025] The mouthwash of the present invention contains the liquid material, and thus periodontal disease can be prevented inexpensively and easily. That is, periodontal disease can be prevented simply by holding the mouthwash in the mouth and gargling. Mouthwashes can be for humans or pets.

[0026] In order to achieve the above object, the beverage according to the present invention is characterized by containing the above liquid material. The beverage of the present invention, which contains the liquid material, can prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily by simply drinking the beverage and passing it through the oral cavity. The beverage may be for human consumption or for pet consumption.

[0027] By providing the beverage for pets, it can make a significant contribution to the prevention of periodontal disease in pets. That is, since pets have difficulty gargling, the beverage of the present invention can prevent periodontal disease simply by drinking it, and can make a significant contribution to the prevention of periodontal disease in pets.

[0031] [Mixture embodiment] The mixture according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 8. Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of the mixture according to the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a predetermined liquid into which the mixture is immersed, Fig. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a titania catalyst constituting the mixture, Fig. 4 is another diagram schematically showing the configuration of the titania catalyst, Fig. 5 is yet another diagram schematically showing the configuration of the titania catalyst, Fig. 6 is yet another diagram schematically showing the configuration of the titania catalyst, Fig. 7 is another diagram showing the configuration of the mixture, and Fig. 8 is yet another diagram showing the configuration of the mixture.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, the mixture 1 according to this embodiment contains a porous body 3 onto which a photocatalyst 2 has been baked (calcined). When the mixture is immersed in a predetermined liquid 100 shown in Figure 2, an active ingredient is generated, and the active ingredient has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity. The predetermined liquid 100 is preferably water. Examples of periodontal disease bacteria that produce a bacteriostatic effect include Porphyromonas gingivalis.

[0033] Furthermore, the photocatalyst 2 baked onto the porous body 3 is preferably a copper-doped (supported) visible light responsive photocatalyst. Furthermore, the photocatalyst 2 baked onto the porous body 3 is preferably a copper-doped visible light responsive photocatalyst blended with silver. The photocatalyst 2 is preferably, for example, a titania photocatalyst.

[0034] That is, the titania catalyst 2 baked onto the porous body 3 is liquid, and as shown in Figure 3, contains at least one of a copper-doped anatase-type powdered titanium oxide dispersion 2A, a peroxo-modified anatase sol 2B (more specifically, a mixed dispersion of peroxo-modified anatase sol 2B), and a peroxotitanic acid solution 2C.

[0035] The copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder dispersion 2A contains 0.5 to 2 wt %, preferably 1 wt %, of copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder, in which 0.1 wt % or more of copper is doped into powder titanium oxide.

[0036] The peroxo-modified anatase sol 2B contains 0.5 to 2 wt %, preferably 1 wt %, of peroxotitanic acid-based anatase-type titanium oxide.

[0037] 4, the titania catalyst 2 preferably further contains a silver oxide compound 2D. The silver oxide compound 2D is contained in an amount of 0.01 to 0.03 wt % in the liquid titania catalyst 2. The silver oxide compound 2D is blended in the liquid titania catalyst 2.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 5, the titania catalyst 2 preferably further contains a film-forming accelerator 2E.

[0039] Titania catalyst 2 preferably further contains alcohol 2F as shown in Figure 6. Alcohol 2F preferably further contains ethanol.

[0040] The porous body 3 preferably contains bakuhanseki, which contains, for example, silicic anhydride, aluminum oxide, and the like as its main components.

[0041] The titania catalyst 2 can be baked onto the bakuhanseki stone as follows. First, the bakuhan stone is ultrasonically cleaned in weakly alkaline water (pH 7.5), and then immersed in titania catalyst 2. Next, the soaked bakuhan stone is forced to dry at about 300°C for 30 minutes to 1 hour, and then baked in a kiln at 600°C for 15 minutes. Next, the baked bakuhan stone is washed with pure water or purified water, and then the washed bakuhan stone is forced to dry at about 300°C for 30 minutes to 1 hour, completing the baking process.

[0042] Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the mixture 1 preferably further contains silica 4, and the silica 4 is preferably formed into a ball shape and made porous.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 8, the mixture 1 preferably further contains vitamin 5. The vitamin 5 preferably contains vitamin C. That is, the vitamin C is formed into a ball or pellet shape, and when the mixture is immersed in a predetermined liquid 100 shown in Fig. 2, vitamin C is gradually generated, thereby allowing vitamin C to be added to the predetermined liquid 100.

[0044] The mixture 1 thus formed is preferably in the form of powder, particles, granules, spheres, or tablets.

[0045] As described above, according to the mixture 1 of this embodiment, when immersed in a specified liquid 100, active ingredients are generated, and the active ingredients have an inhibitory effect on periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity, making it possible to prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily.

[0046] In other words, by simply immersing the mixture 1 in a specified liquid 100, the user can generate and use active ingredients that have antibacterial properties against periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity, thereby preventing periodontal disease inexpensively and easily.

[0047] The photocatalyst 2 baked onto the porous body 3 is a visible light responsive photocatalyst doped (supported) with copper, thereby improving the bacteriostatic effect against periodontal disease bacteria even in the oral cavity in a dark place. The photocatalyst 2 baked onto the porous body 3 is a copper-doped visible light responsive photocatalyst that is blended with silver, thereby further improving the bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria.

[0048] The titania catalyst 2 baked onto the porous body 3 is liquid and contains at least one of a copper-doped anatase-type powder titanium oxide dispersion 2A, a mixed dispersion of peroxo-modified anatase sol 2B, and a peroxotitanic acid solution 2C, thereby generating an active ingredient that also has an inhibitory effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0049] The titania catalyst 2 further contains the silver oxide compound 2D, and therefore can generate even more effective ingredients that have an inhibitory effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0050] By containing bakuhanseki, the porous body 3 can generate an active ingredient that further has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0051] Furthermore, since the mixture 1 contains silica 4, it can purify water and improve the bacteriostatic effect against periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0052] Mixture 1 further contains vitamin 5, which can add redox power and improve the bacteriostatic effect against periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0053] Vitamin 5 contains vitamin C, and by adding vitamin C to a given liquid 100, it is possible to further increase the redox power.

[0054] [Embodiment of the filling body] 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of a packing 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The packing 10 is configured by filling the mixture 1 described above into a predetermined container 11. The container 11 has a plurality of holes 12 formed therein for allowing water to pass through.

[0055] According to the filling 10 of this embodiment, by immersing it in a predetermined liquid 100 shown in Fig. 2, an active ingredient is generated, and the active ingredient has a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity, thereby enabling inexpensive and easy prevention of periodontal disease. The predetermined liquid 100 is preferably water.

[0056] [Embodiment of liquid material] The liquid 20 according to this embodiment contains an active ingredient having a bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity, which is generated by immersing the above mixture 1 or the above filling 10 in a predetermined liquid 100 shown in FIG. 2 (as shown in FIG. 10, the liquid 20 may contain the predetermined liquid 100 shown in FIG. 2 as it is). The time for immersing the filling 10 or the mixture 1 in the predetermined liquid 100 is preferably 5 to 6 hours. The predetermined liquid 100 is preferably water.

[0057] According to the liquid material 20 of this embodiment, the above mixture 1 or the above filling material 10 is immersed in a specified liquid 100 to produce an active ingredient having an antibacterial effect on periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity, thereby making it possible to prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily.

[0058] [Embodiment of mouthwash] As shown in Figure 11, the oral cleanser 30 of this embodiment contains the above-mentioned liquid 20 and can be used for humans or pets (the specified liquid 100 shown in Figure 2 can also be used as the liquid 20 and oral cleanser 30 as is).

[0059] According to the mouthwash 30 of the present embodiment, periodontal disease can be prevented inexpensively and easily by containing the above-mentioned liquid material 20. That is, periodontal disease can be prevented simply by holding the mouthwash 30 in the mouth and gargling.

[0060] [Embodiment of beverage] The beverage 40 according to this embodiment contains the liquid 20 as shown in FIG. 12 and can be for human consumption or pet consumption (the specified liquid 100 shown in FIG. 2 can also be used as the liquid 20 and beverage 40 as is).

[0061] The beverage 40 of the present invention can prevent periodontal disease inexpensively and easily by containing the liquid material 20. In other words, periodontal disease can be prevented simply by drinking the beverage 40 and passing it through the oral cavity.

[0062] By providing the beverage for pets, it can make a significant contribution to the prevention of periodontal disease in pets. That is, since pets have difficulty gargling, the beverage of this embodiment, which can prevent periodontal disease simply by drinking, can make a significant contribution to the prevention of periodontal disease in pets.

[0063] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various applications and modifications are possible.

[0064] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the photocatalyst 2 is a titania catalyst 2, but other photocatalysts can also be used to achieve the desired effect. However, using the titania catalyst 2 as the photocatalyst 2 has a stronger bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity, making it a more preferred embodiment.

[0065] Furthermore, titania catalyst 2 is intended to contain at least one of copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder dispersion 2A, a mixed dispersion of peroxo-modified anatase sol 2B, and peroxotitanic acid solution 2C, but containing all of copper-doped anatase-type titanium oxide powder dispersion 2A, a mixed dispersion of peroxo-modified anatase sol 2B, and peroxotitanic acid solution 2C is more preferred as it can further generate active ingredients that have antibacterial effects on periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0066] Although the porous body 3 is made of bakuhanseki, other porous bodies can also achieve the desired effect. However, using bakuhanseki as the porous body 3 is a more preferred embodiment, as it has a stronger bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity.

[0067] Furthermore, although vitamin C is used as vitamin 5, the desired effect can also be achieved by using a vitamin other than vitamin C. However, using vitamin C as vitamin 5 has a stronger bacteriostatic effect on periodontal disease bacteria in the oral cavity, making it a more preferred embodiment. [Explanation of symbols]
