Abstract
This invention involves the formulation of stable powders which, when dissolved in water form a non-pressurized carbonated solution supersaturated with calcium and phosphate ions, and also containing the presence of carbon dioxide and sodium bicarbonate. The resulting solution is used as an oral rinse for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory processes of the soft tissues of the mouth, throat and oral cavity, which may result from infection or trauma to the oral mucosal tissue.
Claims13
A method for the prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory processes of the soft tissues of the mouth, throat and oral cavity, comprising:
- (a) A mixture of stable powders containing calcium salts, phosphate salts, and carbonate salts, particularly sodium bicarbonate, intended to be dissolved in water to form a non-pressurized carbonated solution, containing sufficient carbonate and highly concentrated with calcium ions and phosphate ions, to create a mixed solution supersaturated with calcium phosphate and containing the presence of carbon dioxide and sodium bicarbonate;
- and
- (b) promptly applying the mixed solution to the oral cavity whereby the carbon dioxide escapes and calcium phosphate is deposited on and around the mucosal tissue of the oral cavity, including but not limited to the cheeks, gums, throat, tongue and other oral soft tissues.
