Abstract
The present invention discloses compositions containing a transfer agent and/or bactericidal compounds, and hydrophobic materials which form, upon application to dental surfaces, adhesive, protective and bacteria-inhibiting barriers.
Claims89
A composition, comprising:
- (a) a transfer agent;
- and
- (b) a barrier material,
- wherein:
- said transfer agent is present in an amount of 0.25 to 25 wt. %, based on the total weight of said transfer agent and said barrier material;
- said barrier material is present in an amount of 75 to 99.75 wt. %, based on the total weight of said transfer agent and said barrier material;
- and
- said transfer agent is selected from the group consisting of cetyl amine, N-tallow-1,3-propanediamine, hexetidine, and cetylpyridinium halide.
