Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new oral health care product that reduces the risk of dental caries by elevating the pH (acidity) level of the mouth. This product contains a combination of fluoride, a known antimicrobial agent that reduces the amount of mutans streptococci (a type of bacteria associated with dental caries), and xylitol, which disrupts the metabolism of these bacteria. The elevated pH level of the product helps to restore a healthy biofilm on the teeth, which is important for oral health. This product is simple and effective, making it an effective tool in preventing dental caries.

Problems solved by technology

Oral health problems such as cavities result from a biofilm disease.
The problem is that the diseased biofilm in the mouth contains >96% acidogenic and aciduric bacteria.

[0030]Applicants have developed oral rinses that are antimicrobial and that help remineralization of the teeth with pH values ranging from 8.0 to 11.5, as well as pH buffering agents. The instant patent application encompasses many oral health care products such as toothpastes, gels, oral sprays, gum, mints, varnishes, floss, toothpicks, swabs, brushes, sponges, and dissolving strips.

[0031]Applicants have tested a large sampling of the available oral care products currently on the market for pH value which are shown in Table 1, below. The products were tested using a Beckman® 240 pH meter with a measurable pH range of 0-16 and FUTURA™ Gel-Filled Epoxy pH Electrode. After calibration with Chem Products color coded pH buffers, 3 separate pH readings were taken for each product and the average of the 3 readings was taken as final pH value. Virtually all of them tested acidic in pH. In fact, one product had a pH values as low as 4.04
