Abstract:
The invention is directed to a powder composition for air polishing the surface of hard dental tissue comprising a powder of water-soluble organic particles as component A, a powder of inorganic anti-caking agent(s) particles as component B and a powder of antihypersensitive acting particles as component C, the mean particle size of component A being in a range from about 15 to about 500 μm, the mean particle size of component C being in a range from about 0.5 to about 10 μm. The invention is also directed to a kit of parts comprising the powder composition and its use.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for use in a method of treating caries by reducing the lactic acid release of lactic acid producing bacteria in an oral biofilm of a human being or animal, the composition comprising one or more amino acid(s) dissolved or dispersed in water, the amino acid(s) being selected from glycine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, serine, threonine, valine, tryptophan and mixtures thereof. The invention also relates to a kit of parts for use in a method of treating caries by reducing the caries activity or reducing the lactic acid release of lactic acid producing bacteria in an oral biofilm, the kit of parts comprising Part A comprising certain amino acid(s), Part B comprising water, and optionally Part C comprising an application device.
