An applicator for oral treatment preparations comprises a membrane covered core having an arched vertical panel and a lateral panel with a generally “L” shaped transverse cross section. The core is formed of a modeling material such as wax, which is soft and pliable and which conforms to the contours of oral surfaces against which it manipulated. The vertical panel is pressed against buccal dentition surfaces to be treated. The lateral panel is then manually bent around occlusal surfaces and pressed against lingual dentition surfaces. The oral treatment preparation for administration may be coated on the membrane prior to fitting or microencapsulated within the core to pass through the membrane for administration. Alternately the applicator is removed after initial shaping or fitting, the oral treatment preparation is applied to the membrane and the applicator is then reinserted.
An applicator for topical administration of an oral treatment preparation, the applicator comprising an arch shaped pliable core, the core including a vertical first panel and a lateral panel, the core being formed of a modeling material capable of obtaining dental impressions by manual manipulation, a first face of the vertical panel and a first face of the lateral panel being covered with a plastic film membrane, the applicator further including an arch shaped removably positioned backing plate, the backing plate having a generally “L” shaped transverse section including a vertical wall abutting the vertical panel of the core and a horizontal ledge abutting at least a portion of the lateral panel whereby the first face of the vertical panel may be urged against buccal dentition surfaces to impress such surfaces in the vertical panel and the first face of the lateral panel may be bent against lingual dentition surfaces to impress such surfaces in the second panel so that an oral treatment preparation positioned between the core and one or more of the buccal and lingual surfaces is effectively administered.
A method of administering an oral treatment preparation, the method comprising the steps of:
