(A) The use of soluble, palatable, organic phosphate esters, or their salts, as cariostatic agents for inhibiting dental caries and tooth erosion. In partic., phosphate esters derived from polyhydric alcs., cyclitols, sugars, mono-, oligo- or poly-saccharides. Espec. favoured is Ca sucrose-phosphate, but the glucose, lactose, and glycerol cpds. are also spec. claimed, as well as the use of Na and Mg salts. (B) The incorporation of the prefd. cpd. in such products as:- foodstuffs (up to 6%), dentifrices, mouthwashes, lozenges and drinks. The ability to incorporate a palatable cariostatic agent into foods and drinks, i.e. in the presence possibly of cariogenic substs. such as carbohydrates, is an important point. |
