Abstract: Various embodiments described herein provide for a multi-component compositions and methods for its pharmaceutical and cosmetic use, comprising a combination of an aliphatic anionic compound, an oxidative compound, and a buffering system. Source of fluoride ion and other carriers are optional ingredients. The aliphatic anionic compound and the oxidative compound function together, in presence or absence of fluoride ion source, to protect the oxidative compounds from degradation prior to use and upon use, and to enhance the efficacy of the composition. In addition to achieving greater stability, combined effects of the aliphatic anionic compound, oxidative compound and source of fluoride ion achieve enhanced fluoride uptake, higher enamel protection by enhanced remineralization and reduced demineralization, increased plaque removal, reduced re-growth of plaque polymicrobial biofilm, greater amount of chlorite ion availability and effective oxidation of salivary biomolecules.

Abstract: A method for determining the available treatment dosage of stabilized chlorine dioxide in the prevention and the treatment of plaque accumulation, volatile sulfur compound production, gingivitis and periodontitis, and for differentiating the treatment dosage from other chlorine-containing compounds that may not have such beneficial effects is disclosed. When in solution as stabilized chlorine dioxide, the presence of other ions such as chlorate and chloride may not only obscure results as to the concentration of stabilized ClO2, but also reduce the predicted effectiveness. The present invention uses validated analytical methods to predict the effectiveness of stabilized ClO2 by more precisely measuring its concentration in solution. Such measurement renders precision at a level required of food-grade and pharmacy-grade chemotherapeutic agents in the oral cavity. Preferred concentrations are within the range of about 0.005 to about 2% (w/v) stabilized chlorine dioxide.
