  • Food materials for prevention of carious degradation of teeth
    Patent number: 4515770
    Abstract: Cariogenic substances such as foodstuffs are treated to incorporate a soluble source of calcium or phosphate ions to provide a product of calcium and phosphate ion concentrations in fluids of salivary retention areas preclusive of carious dissolution of dental enamel. In non-aqueous foodstuffs, the calcium or phosphate ion source should be at least as rapidly soluble as cariogenic, e.g., carbohydrate, components therein. Also provided are mouth rinse solutions comprising a soluble source of calcium or phosphate ions and an osmotically active agent effective in delivering such ions to fluids trapped in salivary retention areas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 1983
    Date of Patent: May 7, 1985
    Assignee: University Patents, Inc.
