Abstract
Provided is a formulation for oral teeth, which includes a plurality of calcium ion carriers and a plurality of calcium-containing particulates. The particulates are carried by the calcium ion carriers, such that the formulation can prevent or rapidly treat dentin-associated symptoms or diseases, while providing a prolonged prophylactic or therapeutic effect.
Claims18
A formulation for teeth, comprising:
- a plurality of calcium ion carriers which are silicon dioxide microparticles having a plurality of pores;
- a plurality of calcium-containing particulates composed of calcium carbonate, wherein the calcium-containing particulates are carried by the calcium ion carriers and adhered into the plurality of pores of the silicon dioxide microparticles;
- and
- an acidic solution for releasing calcium ions from the calcium-containing particulates carried by the calcium ion carriers for forming precipitation deep in dentinal tubules, wherein the acidic solution is at least one selected from the group consisting of a phosphoric acid solution, an oxalic acid solution and a citric acid solution,
- wherein a particle diameter of the silicon dioxide microparticles is in a range of 0.1 μm to 100 μm, the pore diameters of the plurality of pores are in a range of 1 nm to 100 nm, the formulation has a pH value in a range of 2 to 6, and the formulation is present as a gel, a paste, a slurry, an emulsion or a glue.
