Abstract
Disclosed is a method which provides for positioning materials which absorb oral fluids in into controlled, direct contact with at least one dental arch of a subject. The method is particularly applicable to treatment of periodontal gum disease where the material is made from a mixture of bicarbonate of soda, psyllium husk fiber and optionally at least one antimicrobial agent, in combination with a moistening agent and optional flavoring.
Claims25
A method of treating upper and/or lower dental arches of a subject comprising the steps of:
- a. identifying a subject, at least one dental arch selected from the group consisting of:
- upper;
- and
- lower;
- thereof is to be treated;
- b. providing a means for containing sodium-bicarbonate and/or psyllium husk fiber material for absorbing oral fluids and causing material which absorbs oral fluids to be contained therewithin, said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids being of an appropriate shape and size to loosely fit to at least one dental arch of said subject, such that said material which absorbs oral fluid can be placed into contact with said at least one dental arch by positioning said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids into loose contact with at least one dental arch of said subject;
- c. positioning said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids, in loose contact with at least one dental arch of said subject such that said material for absorbing oral fluids in placed into direct contact with at least one dental arch of said subject.
A method of treating upper and/or lower dental arches comprising the steps of:
- a. identifying a subject, at least one dental arch selected from the group consisting of:
- upper;
- and
- lower;
- thereof is to be treated;
- b. providing a material which absorbs oral fluid and which is suitable for being placed into contact with at least one dental arch of said subject by at least one means selected from the group consisting of:
- brushing;
- and
- swabbing;
- said material which absorbs oral fluid being comprised of at least two selections from the group consisting of:
- bicarbonate of soda;
- psyllium husk fiber;
- and
- at least one antimicrobial agent.
A method of treating periodontal gum disease in upper and/or lower dental arches of a subject comprising the steps of:
- a. identifying a subject who presents with periodontal gum disease, in which subject at least one dental arch selected from the group consisting of:
- upper;
- and
- lower;
- thereof is to be treated;
- b. providing a means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids and causing material which absorbs oral fluids to be contained therewithin, said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids being of an appropriate shape and size to loosely fit to at least one dental arch of said subject, such that said material which absorbs oral fluid can be placed into contact with said at least one dental arch by positioning said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids into loose contact with at least one dental arch of said subject;
- c. positioning said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids, in loose contact with at least one dental arch of said subject such that said material for absorbing oral fluids in placed into direct contact with at least one dental arch of said subject.
A means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids with sodium bicarbonate and/or psyllin husk fiber material which absorbs oral fluids contained therewithin, said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids being of an appropriate shape and size to loosely fit to at least one dental arch of said subject, such that said material which absorbs oral fluid can be placed into contact with said at least one dental arch by positioning said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids into loose contact with at least one dental arch of said subject;
- such that in use said means for containing material for absorbing oral fluids is caused to be in loose contact with at least one dental arch of said subject such that said material for absorbing oral fluids is placed into direct contact with at least one dental arch of said subject.
