Description

Unites K t PERMANENTLY STERILIZED DENTAL MATERIAL Adolf Knappwost, Neuhausen, near Urach, Germany, assignor to Vivadent Corporation, Boston, Mass, a corporation of Massachusetts No Drawing. Application October 6, 1953, Serial No. 384,509
Claims priority, application Germany October 15, 1952 6 Claims. (Cl. 106-65) The present invention relates to dental materials which are rendered permanently sterile by the inclusion of a disinfecting agent which inhibits the growth of acid forming bacteria in the oral cavity. Such dental materials include cements and other materials such as those having a plastic base.
Among the presently known disinfecting, sterilizing, or prophylactic materials, the most satisfactory for dental use are salts of copper. Cuprioxide, because of its dark brown color, is unsuited for use in the oral cavity, except in the molar region. Cuproiodide is insufiiciently soluble for effective prevention of bacterial growth. It inhibits the growth of certain bacteria, but not the action of their enzymes which catalyze the formation of destructive acids. As the salt of a strong acid, cuproiodide shows only a negligible increase in solubility in slightly acid solutions, thus impairing its elfeetiveness as an inhibiting agent.
Accordingly, it is among the objects of the present invention to produce a permanently sterile dental material sufliciently light in color to permit its use in all portions of the oral cavity.
A further object of the invention is the provision of an acid-sensitive dental material of this character in which copper ions are released in the presence of relatively low hydrogen ion concentrations in order that the inhibiting action of the sterilizing agent may become effective as soon as the destructive action of the acid forming bacteria commences.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of a copper salt as an inhibiting agent, the copper salt being of such character as to resist complete solution when mixed to form a cement using a cement liquid containing phosphoric acid.
Other and further objects will become apparent upon reading the following specification.
In accordance with the present invention, oxalates and basic oxalates of copper are used to inhibit the growth of acid forming bacteria. These oxalates are the salts of an acid which is only moderately strong. They exhibit increasing solubility with increasing hydrogen ion concentration, but are not entirely dissolved when mixed to form a cement using a cement liquid which contains phosphoric acid. In the case of a salt of a weak acid, such as copper silicate or copper borate, the copper salt is substantially completely dissolved by the phosphoric acid of the cement liquid, and after solidification of the cement, the copper is present in the form of cupriand cupro-phosphate.
Cuprioxalate is of a light green-blue color and cuprooxalate is even lighter in color. These salts have no unsightly discoloring effect when included in a dental cement. The use of up to 10% by weight of such salts when added to a cement powder does not produce any ofiensive stain. Moreover, cuprioxalate and cuprooxalate may also be used as additives to non-cementitious dental materials, such as plastics.
REFERENCE:
2,798,816 Patented July 9, 1957 Also taking into consideration, the fact that any material inhibitive of the growth of acid producing bacteria must not only inhibit bacterial growth in the dental structure to which it is applied, but must operate to provide effective prophylaxis of the surrounding tooth structure, in order to avoid the development of dangerous secondary caries. For this reason, the oxalates of copper which form the subject matter of the present invention are particularly valuable when included as a component of any substance intended for use in the oral cavity.
The basic oxalates of copper, whether monoor divalent, are suitable for use in the same manner as the normal oxalates. Dental materials, whether used for filling, adhesive or other purposes may be made inherently permanently inhibitive to the growth of destructive acid forming bacteria by the inclusion in their composition of up to 10% by weight of either a normal oxalate of copper or a basic oxalate thereof. The following examples are given by way of illustra tion.
Example 1 1 kg. dry zinc phosphate cement powder and 50 g. dry cuprioxalate are ground together in a ball mill until a mixture of homogeneous appearance is obtained. One gram of this mixture is mixed on a glass slab with 0.3 g. of the usual cement liquid using a plastic spatula. The resulting cement porridge is used in the conventional manner for the fixation of crowns, bridges, etc.
Example 2 1 kg. of dry zinc phosphate cement powder is combined as in Example 1, using 50 g. of dry cuprooxalate instead of cuprioxalate.
Example 3 1 kg. of dry zinc phosphate cement powder is combined as in Example 1, using 50 g. of dry basic cuprioxalate.
Example 4 1 kg. of dry zincphosphate cement powder is combined as in Example 1, usingjO g. of dry basic cuprooxalate. Having thus described my invention, what is claimed 1. A permanently bactericidal dental cement consisting essentially ofa base material and a bactericidal amount up to 10% by weight of a copper salt selected from the group consisting of cuprioxalate, cuprooxalate and the basic oxalates of copper.
2. A substance as in claim 1, wherein said oxalate is basic cuprioxalate.
3. A substance as in claim 1, normal cuprioxalate.
4. A substance as in claim 1, basic cuprooxalate.
5. A substance as in claim 1, normal cuprooxalate.
6. The process for destroying acid-forming bacteria in the oral cavity, which comprises applying to the oral cavity a cementitious composition in which a copper oxalate is present in a bactericidal amount up to 10% by weight.
