Proton motive force toothbrush

I claim that the battery has a photovoltaic cell to revitalize the battery using a rectifying diode attached to the anode of the battery to prevent leakage of power during times of darkness and this will add longevity to the battery.

I claim the energized slurry contains aqueous fluoride ions, hydrogen ions, O2 and H2, hydroxyl ions, and if present bicarbonate ions to produce the weak acids of fluoride and bicarbonate (HF and H2CO3).

I claim the reactions of electrolysis to be a new inventive system to obtund decay and periodontal disease by lowering the acid producing bacteria of plaque on teeth.

I claim that by applying a suitable voltage of at least 2.657 V. to the said slurry, the Proton Motive Force of bacterial cells will be obtunded thereby interfering with the synthesis of Adenosine Tri Phosphate (ATP)

I claim the protons produced by the ionization of weak acids that have passed through the plasma membrane into the cytosol of bacteria have bypassed the ATP synthesizing mechanism called ATPase (F0F1) and upset the equilibrium of the Proton Motive Force.

I claim the aqueous fluoride ion produced by the ionization of the weak acid HF will form analogues with enzymes of the bacteria cytosol and the analogues in turn will disrupt DNA synthesis, glycolysis, and chelation which will dissolute the bacteria that cause dental decay and periodontits.

I claim that the calcium fluoride formed by the aqueous fluoride and the calcium ions of saliva using the energy of the electromotive force of a battery cell will mineralize demineralized enamel and dentin by replacing the hydroxyls of apatite crystals of the enamel and dentin with fluoride ions.

I claim that the ionization of the weak acid hydrogen fluoride using the energy of the electromotive force of a battery cell will produce aqueous fluoride ions to adhere to the apatite crystals of enamel and dentin by replacing the hydroxyl ions of the crystals.

I claim that the aqueous fluoride ion produced will form the modified crystal bundles called Fluoroapatites (FAP) which are more dense than pure and impure apatite crystal bundles of enamel and dentin and more resistant to acid decay.

I claim that the weak acids of hydrogen fluoride and bicarbonate produced by the inventive system will pass through the plasma membrane of bacteria by mass action into the relatively basic cytosol and thereby lowering the pH and causing the bacteria to dissipate logarithmically and die.

I claim the aqueous fluoride ions in the cytosol will form molecules with the cation cofactors and chelators of ATP preventing the metabolic enzymatic reactions of enolase, mutase, and kinase needed for nutrition and proton production.

I claim that the production of the weak acid media using the energy of electromotive force of the inventive system from the toothbrush will use the compounds of bicarbonate and fluoride of the gels, dentifrice, and rinses more efficiently in comparison with the random and passive diffusion of the compounds when brushing the teeth without this energy.

I claim the inventive system will obtund tooth decay and periodontal disease by causing the enamel and dentin to become more dense and acid resistant.

I claim the inventive system will obtund decay and periodontal disease by interfering with the synthesis of ATP resulting in dissipation of acid producing bacteria.
