  • Dental material and method for applying preventative and therapeutic agents
    Patent number: 5310563
    Abstract: A dental composition is produced from a dilatant silicone polymer composition by dispersing a bioactive component in the polymer composition. The dental composition is shaped and pressed against the teeth and gum surfaces and allowed to remain in place for a period of time sufficient to release the active component to the tooth and gums. The dilatant rheological properties enable the dental composition to be pushed under the gingival flap to remove food particles and treat tooth and gum surfaces below the gum line. The composition is sufficiently plastic to be easily removed from the teeth without pieces breaking and adhering to tooth surfaces.
