Abstract: A face mask can both actively cancel sounds and passively attenuate sounds spoken by the user to prevent the sounds from reaching non-intended recipients positioned near the user. The mask can not only reduce the user's voice from escaping the mask but can also be used to reduce external sounds from reaching inside the mask. Thus, a user can wear the mask in public and talk on their phone without disturbing others around them. The mask can include at least one microphone and at least one audio speaker disposed inside and/or outside the mask. Sounds received by the microphone can be processed by a microphone and computing electronics to provide an output to the audio speaker that can appropriately attenuate the sound received by the microphone, via acoustic cancelation. The mask can not only be used to cancel sounds but may also be used to amplify sounds when desired.

Abstract: A method for treating a periodontal disease affecting a periodontal pocket of a patient. The method comprises inserting an oral delivery device into the periodontal pocket at a frequency of about once every 4 days to about once every 6 weeks. The oral delivery device is a controlled release solid unit dosage form suitable for insertion into a periodontal pocket of a patient, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-inflammatory agent, at least one antibacterial agent, or the combination of at least one anti-inflammatory agent and at least one antibacterial agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides an oral delivery system for the treatment of periodontal disease, being in a solid unit dosage form for administration to a patient and comprising: (i) a biodegradable or bioerodible pharmaceutically acceptable polymer; (ii) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one antibacterial agent; and (iii) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-inflammatory agent, the relative weight ratio between the antibacterial agent and the anti-inflammatory agent ranging from about 7:1 to about 1:5. The system may further comprise at least one of a cross-linking agent, a plasticizing agent, a wetting agent, a suspending agent, a surfactant and a dispersing agent.
