Flavored dosage forms, e.g., lozenges and gums, are provided for sustained release of a flavoring agent in the mouth. The dosage forms provide sustained release by virtue of a wet matrix formed by admixture of a biocompatible, hydrophilic, water-insoluble polymer such as ethylcellulose and a flavoring agent, particularly an essential oil or a constituent thereof, e.g., a terpene or sesquiterpene. The dosage forms may also include a second beneficial agent in addition to the flavoring agent. Exemplary such beneficial agents include ionizable zinc compounds and other cold remedies, local anesthetic and anti-infective agents, diet aids, fluoride-releasing compounds, and nicotine. The dosage forms, when formulated as lozenges, may be somewhat adhesive or substantially nontacky, depending primarily on the molecular weight of the hydrophilic polymer. Adhesive lozenges can serve as dosage forms that adhere to the teeth or gums for delivery of a beneficial agent thereto. Methods for using the dosage forms to provide sustained release of a flavoring agent and optionally deliver a second beneficial agent are also provided, as are methods for treating the common cold, treating a sore throat, facilitating weight loss, and assisting in smoking cessation.

The invention relates to a preparation method of an anti-secondary caries cavity restoration material, which belongs to the field of medical and dental preparations. The existing fluorine-containing anti-secondary caries composite resin caries filling materials have the problems of too fast release of fluorine, poor interface compatibility and no rigid support for the caries filling body. This case aims to solve the above problems. The steps of the method in this case include using a silane coupling agent to modify the surface of the nano-inorganic powder, and combining the modified nano-inorganic powder with monomers such as bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate, dimethacrylic acid Materials such as diluents such as triethylene glycol ester, photoinitiators such as camphorquinone, and co-initiators such as dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate are mixed evenly under dark conditions, and are removed under vacuum conditions. Bubbles, the main point of this case is that the nano-inorganic powder contains fluorine-loaded zirconia nanotubes accounting for 10% to 80% of its own weight. The fluorine-loaded zirconia nanotubes have both the functions of slow-release fluorine to prevent secondary caries and structural reinforcement.
