Publication number: 20190274932Abstract: Conventional dental cements lack certain properties such as the facilitation of optimal re-mineralization. The novel bioactive glass-ionomer dental and bone cement formulations disclosed herein induces mineralization at the in vivo interface and exhibits superior handling properties (shorter setting time) and mechanical properties (improved bond strength to dentin and flexural strength). The present invention presents the first bioactive glass-ionomer dental cement with mineralization power, exhibiting improved bond strength to tooth structure, sharp setting time and superior mechanical strength. Materials of this invention can be used as bone cement, as a dental filling (restorative material), as a liner for deep cavity preparations (to avoid root canal therapies and tooth sensitivity), or as a luting cement to cement dental crowns. Moreover, it can be utilized in a flowable resin for use as a coating to prevent dental caries in their initial steps (white spots).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicant: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Alireza MOSHAVERINIA, Mohammad Mahdi HASANI-SADRABADI, Tara L.

Publication number: 20190274937Abstract: The present invention relates to microbiome-safe cosmetic cleaning compositions (i.e. soaps) and uses thereof in preserving the natural microflora of the human or animal skin/vagina. These cleaning compositions may also be beneficially used in combination with topical probiotic therapies, which may be compromised when using classical soaps. In particular, the present invention provides cosmetic cleaning compositions comprising at least one organic acid, as preservative; and at least one glycerol ester as surfactant. For these compositions it was found that they have the typical characteristics of a soap without the negative effects on the natural microflora of the skin/vagina.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2017Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicants: Yun NV, Universiteit AntwerpenInventors: Tim Henkens, Filip Kiekens, Sarah Lebeer, Ingmar Claes
