Abstract: A method of improving the condition of teeth in a human mouth by continuing events of applying a composition containing calcium and a source of OH? ions, optionally in combination with amino acid/protein containing casein, so that the composition mixes with saliva and forms a slurry, followed by swishing the result around in the human mouth; the method also including, between at least two continuing events, applying a more solid composition that contains calcium and OH? and optionally casein, to problem areas of the teeth, such as where they are worn or chipped, and maintaining the contact by not intentionally removing it.

Abstract: A method of smoothing teeth by, for instance, filling in cracks, chips and eroded areas by applying calcium and/or casein and/or phosphate and a source of OH? ions thereto. The method optionally provides that very thin layer(s) of dental cement be interlaced with other applied materials, and that the results be maintained in contact with the teeth involved by application of a composition of matter that adheres to said teeth and holds the results in place, while allowing at least some permeation of saliva therethrough. The method can optionally involve application of a backing strip or tray or the like to secure the other materials in place, but this is not a requirement where the composition of matter is sufficiently securing.

Abstract: A system and method which enables application of a material to teeth (and gums), which material remains in contact with, and adheres to, said teeth and gums for a period long enough to neutralize acids in dental plaque biofilm, inhibit plaque from adhering to teeth and gums, encourage removal of dental plaque, and form a barrier between the teeth and gums and the oral environment.

Abstract: A method of smoothing teeth is disclosed that is based on surprising evidence achieved by practicing a method involving application of calcium powder or calcium containing composition to teeth, and maintaining it in contact with the teeth by application of an edible adherent wax containing material, that serves to maintain contact between the teeth and the calcium powder or calcium containing composition for at least one hour.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of promoting oral hygiene and teeth re-calcification involving increasing crevicular fluid flow in a subject in the presence of hydroxide containing material such that OH? ions are formed and caused to contact the teeth. The method further involves causing calcium Ca++ ion containing material to simultaneously, or subsequently, contact the teeth.

Abstract: Disclosed are articles and oral compositions which enable positioning material(s) which absorb oral fluids into controlled, direct contact with at least one dental arch, or portion thereof, of a subject at the location where teeth emerge from dental arch gum tissue, in a manner conducive to increasing crevicular fluid flow while maintaining a relatively dry application field for a therapeutic and/or cosmetic result effecting period of time. The method is applicable to introduction of gingivally absorbed substances and to treatment of, for instance, periodontal gum disease wherein bacteria is swept along in the crevicular fluid and lysed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method which provides for positioning materials which absorb oral fluids in into controlled, direct contact with at least one dental arch of a subject. The method is particularly applicable to treatment of periodontal gum disease where the material is made from a mixture of bicarbonate of soda, psyllium husk fiber and optionally at least one antimicrobial agent, in combination with a moistening agent and optional flavoring.
