Abstract: A reshapable retention device for insertion at a dental site and contact with adjacent dental surfaces, for the controlled delivery to the dental site of at least one material having a predetermined intraoral activity. The retention device comprises at least one matrix containing the material. The retention device is adapted for physically affixing at the dental site for at least a predetermined time period correlated to the delivery of a predetermined portion of the at least one matrix to the dental site in a controlled single, bi or multiphase pattern. The retention device comprises a first configuration in which the overall dimensions of the retention device are larger than at least one dimension of the dental site. The first configuration is reshapable to a second configuration in which at least one dimension of the retention device is reduced to enable physically affixing the retention device at the dental site.

Abstract: Disclosed is a reshapable retention device for insertion at a dental site and contact with adjacent dental surfaces, for the controlled delivery to the dental site of at least one material having a predetermined intraoral activity, with at least one matrix containing the material. The device is adapted for physically affixing at the dental site. The device has a first configuration in which the overall dimensions of the retention device are larger than at least one dimension of the dental site, which is reshapable to a second in which at least one dimension of the retention device is reduced. In the second configuration the retention device has a predetermined shape having contours for affixing at the dental surfaces. The device is affixed to the dental site in its second configuration.

Abstract: A system for the strategic controlled delivery of materials to the dental surfaces of the intraoral cavity is disclosed. These materials have a desired or predetermined activity with respects to such dental surfaces. In particular, the system enables delivery of fluoridizing and other agents to interproximal sites among others, specially to contact points/areas (aproximal sites), to enable the prevention, treatment, diagnosis, elimination or retardation of dental caries.

Abstract: A system for the strategic controlled delivery of materials to the dental surfaces of the intraoral cavity, in particular materials having a desired or predetermined activity with respect to such dental surfaces for example by forming a specific controlled microenvironment. In particular, the system enables delivery of fluoridizing and other agents to interproximal (approximal) sites among others, to enable inter alia the prevention, treatment, diagnosis, elimination or retardation of dental disease and sensitivity and to provide cosmetic changes. A novelty of this invention is the development of a single or multiphase delivery system in single, bi or multi layer or bi or multi location form or continuation thereof for the optimal delivery of a material or materials to at least one specific dental site with or without other optimal and/or physical intervention.
