Abstract
There are provided oral mouth rinse compositions, consisting essentially of: a) 1-20 wt % of an orally acceptable peroxide, b) 0.5-15 wt % of an orally acceptable sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate salt of an inorganic cation or mixtures thereof, and c) water to 100 wt %. There are further provided methods of preparing and using said compositions as well as kits for maintaining the components to prepare said compositions.
Claims38
An oral mouth rinse composition, consisting essentially of:
- a) 1-20 wt % of an orally acceptable peroxide
- b) 0.5-15 wt % of an orally acceptable sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate salt of an inorganic caton or mixtures thereof,
- c) water to 100 wt %
- which is prepared by mixing
- i) an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 2-40 wt % of the peroxide, and
- ii) an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 1-30 wt % of the said inorganic cation salt of a sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, provided that the amount of peroxide in (i) exceeds the stoichiometric amount required to completely oxidize the salt of the sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, by at least 0.5 wt %
- wherein all proportions are based on the weight of the final solution.
A method of preparing an oral mouth rinse composition,
- consisting essentially of:
- a) 1-20 wt % of an orally acceptable peroxide
- b) 0.5-15 wt % of an orally acceptable sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate salt of an inorganic cation or mixtures thereof,
- c) water to 100 wt %
- which comprises mixing
- i) an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 2-40 wt % of said orally acceptable peroxide and
- ii) an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 1-30 wt % of said inorganic cation salt of a sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, provided that the amount of peroxide in (i) exceeds the stoichiometric amount required to completely oxidize the salt of the sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, by at least 0.5wt % wherein all proportions are base on the weight of the final solution.
A method of enhancing the whitening and bactericidal activity of peroxide in the oral cavity comprising the steps of:
- mixing aqueous solutions consisting essentially of
- i) an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 2-40 wt % of an orally acceptable peroxide and
- ii) an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 1-30 wt % of an inorganic cation salt of a sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, provided that the amount of peroxide in (i) exceeds the stoichiometric amount required to completely oxidize the salt of the sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, by at least 0.5 wt % wherein all proportions are based on the weight of the final solution and introducing said solution into the oral cavity.
A method of enhancing the whitening and bactericidal activity of peroxide in the oral cavity comprising introducing thereinto:
- an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 1-20 wt % of an orally acceptable peroxide and of 0.5-15 wt % of an inorganic cation salt of a sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate or mixture thereof wherein all proportions are based on the weight of the final solution.

- b) 0.5-15 wt % of an orally acceptable sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate salt of an inorganic cation or mixtures thereof,
- c) water to 100 wt %
- wherein all proportions are based on the weight of the final solution.
A kit for preparing a warm mouthwash with enhanced oxidative action in the oral cavity consisting essentially of
- i) a container containing an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 2-40 wt % of an orally acceptable peroxide and
- ii) a container containing an aqueous solution consisting essentially of 1-30 wt % of an inorganic cation salt of a sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, provided that the amount of peroxide in (i) exceeds the stoichiometric amount required to completely oxidize the salt of the sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixture thereof, by at least 0.5 wt % wherein all proportions are based on the weight of the final solution.
