Abstract
An oral anti-halitosis preparation adapted to desorb microorganisms and to absorb materials causing halitosis, includes as an active ingredient a synthetic oil, preferably one containing the ester of an alcholol and an aliphatic acid of at least six carbon atoms. Particularly good results were obtained when the synthetic oil is caprylic triglyceride, capric triglyceride, or mixtures thereof.
Claims13
An oral anti-halitosis mouthwash adapted to desorb microorganisms and to absorb materials causing halitosis, comprising an aqueous phase, an oil phase, a non-ionic emulsifier, and a flavoring agent, characterized in that the oil phase comprises as the active ingredient, a synthetic oil of a caprylic/capric triglyceride mixture, in a concentration effective to mechanically shear, separate, desorb and/or displace oral halitosis originating bacteria and/or bacterial plaque adhering to teeth and to oral cavity gums, mucous, tongue, palate and cheek surfaces.
In the art of rinsing the mouth with a flavored liquid mouthwash in homogenous emulsion form wherein an aqueous phase, an oil phase, and a non-ionic emulsifier are homogenously admixed, the improvement in halitosis reduction consisting essentially of the step of (A) incorporating in said oil phase, as the essential active anti-halitosis ingredient, a caprylic/capric triglyceride mixture, in a concentration effective to mechanically shear, separate, desorb and/or displace oral halitosis originating bacteria and/or bacterial plaque adhering to teeth and to oral cavity gums, mucous, tongue, palate and cheek surfaces, and (B) rinsing the mouth with said mouthwash after meals at least until the level of the halitosis is decreased.
The method according to claim 19, wherein said synthetic oil is a mixture of caprylic triglyceride and capric triglyceride.
