Abstract: An antimicrobial formulation for dental applications includes colloidal silver, from between about 0.01 to 2 percent by weight and colloidal copper, from between about 0.05 to about 10 percent by weight. The antimicrobial formulations are used to treat microorganisms on a tooth to prevent tooth decay by administering an effective amount of the antimicrobial formulation alone or in combination with a dental varnish, stannous fluoride, or sodium fluoride. The antimicrobial formulation may be part of a kit or used in a biocompatible time release chip.

Abstract: A waterline treatment system for treating and preventing biofilms in a dental unit includes a plurality of noncontiguous silver and copper pieces in a ratio between about 8:3 to 10:1, in order to maintain less than 200 colony forming units per milliliter in the water. The waterline treatment device may include a housing, optionally equipped with a flotation mechanism. The water treatment device may be packaged in a kit along with a pre-treatment liquid component that includes colloidal silver.
