Description

Plastic chewing mass as cleaning oral and dental care products The invention relates to a plastic hem mass as a cleaning oral and dental care product to protect the teeth, the periodontium and the oral mucosa.

The appointed party has repeatedly pointed out that decades of daily use of toothbrushes and toothpaste not only benefits brings with it, but in the long run a rather dangerous abrasive effect can exercise the enamel, which goes far beyond the biologically beneficial level.

The observation of primitive peoples has shown that they are healthy Right up to old age, teeth are not restricted to natural nutritional conditions, but rather also owe the habit of regularly using tree resins or resin-like plant components to chew. This natural cleaning of the mouth and teeth due to the intensive chewing process not only makes our usual methods of oral and dental care superfluous but is superior to them in every respect.

It is already a method of making a dentifrice became known according to German patent specification 1 049 544, in which from a Percolat and a macerate is formed into a mixture which is converted into a chewing gum base is incorporated. Such a Kaupech important shortcomings of the known Oral care products that damage the healthy flora of the oral mucous membrane have avoided. It stimulates and causes saliva secretion during the chewing process thus extensive flushing and cleaning of the oral cavity or

the interdental spaces and the enamel surfaces.

The invention is based on the object for the purpose of effective control the caries a plastic chewing mass as a cleaning oral and dental care product for To create the appropriate protection of the teeth, the periodontium and the oral mucosa is to restore the acid-base balance in the entire organism and to bring about a remineralization of the decalcified tooth.

This object has been achieved in that a known per se Chewing gum base a basic mineral salt concentrate is incorporated.

This chewing mass is made possible by the nature of its use and as a result Their specific composition enables faster and safer teeth cleaning than this through the usual toothpastes and toothbrushes is possible. It protects through the local effect and through the absorption of their biological effective ingredients protect the oral mucosa, teeth and periodontium from damaging influences from inside and outside and the teeth especially against tooth decay.

Regular chewing of the plastic chewing mass according to the invention with specific biological active substances for the chewing apparatus and the oral cavity which in most Lilians vigorously and causes inadequate saliva secretion a good irrigation of the oral cavity, the interdental spaces and an excellent mechanical cleaning by suction of the plastic mass even in narrow interdental spaces and in those places that cannot be reached by a conventional toothbrush.

The intensive chewing process stimulates the blood circulation in the gums and Tooth root, strengthens the masticatory muscles and the teeth holding apparatus and is an effective one Agent and prophylactic against periodontal disease. The gum as a mouthguard and In addition to a suitable plastic chewing gum base, dental care products contain all of them essential biological ingredients to keep teeth healthy, to prevent tooth decay, against diseases of the oral mucosa and against periodontal disease. In addition to the local The effect is through the absorption of these active substances over the oral mucosa an activation of the body's specific immune forces triggered, which have an effective Protection of the oral cavity - the entry point of most infections -, teeth and of the periodontium against damaging and destructive effects from within and from outside represents.

The invention is based in particular on the knowledge that the The development of dental caries is a complex process in which both endogenous and exogenous factors are also significantly involved.

Particularly among the exogenous factors is the diet that is consumed of considerable importance with regard to the content and quality of the carbohydrates. Easy Fermentable, isolated industrial sugars and Feimriehle lead particularly to those susceptible to tooth decay to a pathological shift in the carbohydrate metabolism, to the anaerobic glycolytic one Acid formation instead of oxidative degradation with the development of a pathological acidic saliva and to a pathologically acidic bacterial flora of the round, the together with the shift in the acid-base balance in the organism for decalcification and destruction of teeth. By alkalizing the pathological in caries-prone acidic saliva is enabled by anaerobic glycolytic Cleavage of the carbohydrates in the oral cavity caused pathological allactic acid to neutralize.

The pathological breakdown of carbohydrates is by no means local limited to the area of the wound cavity, but must be in the context of the same time existing overall metabolic disorder, impaired cellular respiration and pathological Shift in the acid-base balance towards excess acid can be seen. A latent acidosis always goes with an increased calcium excretion and increased Susceptibility to tooth decay is accompanied by a normalization of the acid-ßase balance Decreases the propensity to caries clearly and instantly.

The considerable excess of acid in our modern diet of civilization is closely related to a lack of mineral salts, vitamins and trace elements. When using the plastic chewing mass according to the invention, it could be demonstrated that with the supply of the necessary mineral salts, vitamins and trace elements in biological given relation a caries, even with a pronounced caries-promoting diet can be largely prevented.

Another exogenous factor in the development of tooth decay is the The fact that the common cooked and unchecked food is the one for the natural oral and teeth cleaning makes the intensive chewing process unnecessary. Good chew promotes the secretion of flushing saliva, which is necessary for the complete removal of Food residues, especially from the interdental spaces, is important and in the contrast always shows an alkaline reaction to the pathological saliva flora.

The intended effect is achieved by adding a basic Mineral salt concentrate achieved in the gum base. The mineral salt concentrate consists preferably of a bone meal trituration, sea salt, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. In addition to these ingredients, the wet mass contains special Advantage of the following ingredients in combination: a) Herbal active ingredients in tincture form: against caries (e.g. Angustura) against periodontal disease (Ratanhia) to stimulate salivation, to increase the body's defenses and to improve digestibility, Metabolic performance and taste b) essential oils and resinoids with blood circulation-promoting effect on gums and wound cavity (sage oil) to stimulate saliva secretion (Clove oil) against periodontal disease (sage oil) to improve digestibility and metabolic performance and flavor (anise oil) for flavoring, refreshment and deodorization (peppermint oil) to the Compensation of the nicotine effect after diving in terms of taste and health @insicht (peppermint oil) cj vitamins d) plasticizers and binders in the form of not fermentable and non-cariogenic sugar-like compounds to improve taste and prevent tooth decay (sorbitol and glycerin).

in one embodiment of the invention are in the barely contain the following ingredients in the proportions listed by weight: a) chewable Natural resins as chewing gum base approx. 25.0% b) Bone meal trituration approx. 5.0 , o c) sea salt about 1.5% d) calcium carbonate about 5.0% e) sodium bicarbonate about 0.2% f) non-cariogenic sugar substitutes such as sorbitol, mannitol or the like approx. 50% g) glycerin about 0.5, o h) as well as a herbal tincture, essential oils and natural Dyes.

In the production of such a plastic chewing mass it is of of particular importance that the chewing gum base in a known manner in one previously heated Mixer softened and then the non-cariogenic Sugar substitutes, such as mannitol, sorbitol or the like, added in portions and j each is incorporated into the base mass, whereupon the other ingredients are added in each case will. Then the mass is intimately mixed and mixed after 3-4 minutes, before it is removed from the lulixer. The temperature of the mass is related to this Time around 600C. The plastic chewing mass is then portioned divided and packed accordingly after cooling.
