JP 2008-188275 A

The present inventor believes that bad breath is caused by the presence of pathological factors such as periodontal disease, visceral diseases, etc. We have the knowledge that it is caused by various bacteria that have propagated. That is, in general, the human tongue body is covered with a mucous membrane on the surface of the tongue muscle, and the mucous membrane has a surface with a surface area of 20 m ^{2 due} to the presence of a filiform papilla, a saddle papilla, a foliate papilla, etc. Because it has an irregular surface that can be said to be porous, food residue adheres to or remains between the nipples on the uneven surface of the tongue body by chewing in the oral cavity when food is ingested. Decomposing the protein produces hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and other gases that often occur when the odor goes out of the mouth with breathing. In order to prevent general bad breath, it is effective to remove tongue coating present on the uneven surface of the tongue.

  From this point of view, the above-mentioned mouse sprays, medicinal rinses, etc. are momentary or temporary, and even if they can be cleaned in the oral cavity by medicinal rinses, they are only cleaning the surface of the tongue. The medicinal rinse cannot be effective in removing tongue coating. On the other hand, the tongue coating cleaning tool of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 inserts a foreign substance into the oral cavity when removing tongue coating, even if the sheet of the head portion can remove tongue coating by directly contacting the tongue body. It is difficult to deny the possibility of inducing nausea due to the use of the tongue coating tool, and the user presses the head portion against the tongue body in a pressurized state in order to enhance the cleaning effect. It is often used to move on the body, and in this case, the mucous membrane on the surface of the tongue body may be damaged. Therefore, even if the brush-like one is used as a tongue coating cleaning tool, it is actually temporary. There is a tendency to stop using.

  In addition to the above, the invention described in claim 7 can take care products individually packaged for each use, and can be made easy to use for wiping the tongue or chewing in the oral cavity. .

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail. The oral care product for preventing bad breath is used by wiping the oral tongue body or chewing in the oral cavity using a fiber base in which fine fibers such as nonwoven fabric, gauze and cut cotton are assembled. It is intended to remove tongue coating on the body surface mucous membrane.

  The fine fiber used for the fiber base of the oral care product is an appropriate natural fiber such as cotton, or an appropriate synthetic fiber such as rayon or acetate. For example, a non-woven fabric or fiber formed by fusing these fibers together. A woven fabric formed by weaving and assembly, a cut cotton which has been subjected to a forming and assembly process after cutting, and the like can be used.

  At this time, it is preferable that these fibrous bases are formed into small pieces for insertion into the oral cavity such as sheets and blocks. That is, it is suitable for inserting into the oral cavity and wiping the tongue body or performing chewing in the oral cavity, for example, a rectangular or rectangular shape having a side of about 2 to 3 cm and a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm to 5 to 6 mm. As a folding sheet formed by folding a single sheet or material sheet, the above-mentioned wiping or intraoral chewing shall be performed, and as a cubic block with a side of about several mm In addition, a plurality of them can be inserted into the oral cavity at the same time to perform oral chewing.

  The fibrous base can form an oral care product with the fibrous base. Generally, however, the fibrous base is added to a taste additive such as a flavoring agent and a sweetener and / or an oral cleaning solution, an oral cavity. It shall contain a medicinal additive such as a bactericidal agent, the medicinal additive contained in the fibrous base and the medicinal additive used as an extract of mangosteen pericarp or a diluted solution thereof, In addition, it is possible to obtain a preferred form in which the function or action as an oral care product is improved by laminating or mixing the chewing gum or gummy favorite products on the fiber base. As a result, the oral care product can be carried at all times and used as necessary to increase the commercial value.

  For example, in the case of an oral care product with a grapefruit flavor, as shown in Table 1 of the following experimental example, a sheet or block is moisturized, abrasive, sweetener, refreshing agent against water as a base material, In addition to containing additives such as flavoring agents, preservatives, solubilizers, etc., the mangosteen skin peel extract is further adjusted to prevent pH change, prevent discoloration, and prevent fibrin net formation by the xanthone derivative of the extract. It can be added as a medicinal additive for inflammatory agents, and at the same time, glycyrrhizic acid 2K can also be added as a medicinal additive for anti-inflammatory agents. By doing so, the grapefruit menthol-flavored sheet or block is Thus, it becomes possible to make the oral care product rich in flavor and taste and having an anti-inflammatory action like a favorite product. Therefore, regardless of the form of the sheet or block, the fibrous base is a medicinal additive such as a suitable additive for palatability, a medicinal additive such as an oral cleaning agent, an oral bactericidal agent, or a mangosteen outer skin extract or a diluted solution thereof. The products can be added singly or in combination according to consumers of oral care products.

  Furthermore, the fiber base can be used alone or together with the above-mentioned preference additives or medicinal additives, chewing gums, fruit flavors, and other chewing preference items such as chewing gums. The chewing preference is, for example, placed on the inside or outside of the fiber-based folding sheet or block, for example, and laminated appropriately in a sandwich shape, etc. These chewing products that have been subdivided into fragile ingredients can be appropriately mixed and arranged in a folding sheet or block, whereby the sheet or block is strengthened as a favorite product, and the oral cavity is mainly used for oral chewing. By promoting internal mastication, the effect of removing tongue coating can be improved. In addition, when laminating or mixing the favorite products, if the amount of the favorite products is excessive, the fiber-based fine fiber is taken into the favorite products during mastication, and the tongue coating removal effect is impaired. Therefore, when laminating or mixing the favorite products, it is necessary to take care to control the amount of the arrangement with respect to the fiber base and to produce a taste effect as much as possible.

  The fibrous base may be formed with a tongue insertion hole. At this time, the fibrous base is a sheet, in particular, a sheet material having a side of several centimeters or more, for example, 5 to 6 cm, is folded into a small folded sheet, and the through holes are formed in the sheet material. In this way, the folding sheet is inserted into the through-hole, for example, by removing the tongue coating on the lingual side edge, for example, by spreading the sheet before wiping or chewing in the oral cavity. Then, it is folded again and used as a folding sheet for wiping the tongue or chewing in the oral cavity.

  The fiber base is preferably made into an oral care product for preventing bad breath by being individually packaged. In other words, the fiber base, which contains or arranges a taste additive, a mouthwash, a medicinal additive, a chewing taste product, etc. are hygienically stored and carried for oral use. Since it is desired to be performed, it is necessary to prevent drying in order to maintain the flavor of the material containing or arranging the above-mentioned additives. Therefore, the fibrous base is a packaging material capable of maintaining airtightness. If the individual packaging is performed, the above-mentioned hygiene and drying can be prevented, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

  The oral care product for preventing bad breath thus formed may be used, for example, so as to open an individual package and wipe the tongue or chew in the mouth. In general, breathing is done by nasal breathing, and in Japan, the rate of mouth breathing is said to be high, and the mouth is dried by mouth breathing. Since the cured tongue coating can be removed as much as possible by using a care product, it becomes possible to prevent as much as possible the bad breath that has become permanent due to tongue coating curing of mouth breathing.

  In carrying out the present invention, oral care products for the prevention of bad breath, fiber bases, sheets, blocks and other small pieces, additives for preference added to the fiber base used as necessary, oral cleaning liquid, oral bactericides, etc. Specific shapes such as a medicinal additive, an extract of mangosteen pericarp used as a medicinal additive or a diluted solution thereof, a favorite product laminated or mixed on a fibrous base, a through hole for insertion of a tongue, and individual packaging The structure, material, relationship between these, addition to these, and the like can be in various forms as long as they do not contradict the gist of the invention.

Experimental example

  By adding additives according to the compounding purpose shown in Table 1 to a fiber-based white folding sheet with a folding thickness of about 3 mm and a size of 3 cm × 3 cm, the extract of grapefruit menthol flavor and mangosteen skin peel is used. Formulated to create an oral care product. The oral care product was placed on the tongue body with 5 subjects as subjects, and chewing in the oral cavity at intervals of once per second. From the subject, a refreshing feeling, presence of oral dirt, degree of tongue coating remaining, saliva outflow amount ◎, ○, △, × 4 from good ones, with regard to the presence or absence of persistent saliva outflow after test, presence or absence of tongue damage and the possibility of infection (possibility of various infections caused by oral bacteria) The results were described by a stage evaluation (however, a two-stage evaluation of the presence or absence of lingual damage and infection). For comparison, commercially available toothbrushes and dentifrices, interdental brushes (above used directly on the tongue), dental rinse, bad breath spray, bad breath tablets, candy, chewing gum, dental floss, tongue brush (tongue remover) In use, the same evaluation was performed by one subject and the results were described. The results are shown in Table 2.

  As shown in Table 2, all 5 subjects of oral care products had a refreshing feeling, presence or absence of oral dirt, tongue coating dirt, that is, presence or absence of tongue coating, a large amount of saliva outflow, presence or absence of saliva outflow after the test In addition, ◎ was described, and there was no possibility of damage to the tongue and infection, and extremely good results were shown. In the remainder for comparison, there were some circles, but most of the tongue stains were Δ, and the effect of removing tongue coating by oral care products was remarkably recognized.
