Calcium peroxyphosphates and use thereof in dental compositions

摘要

Calcium peroxyphosphate compounds and dental compositions comprising these compounds that combine both whitening/stain removal of teeth with remineralization are disclosed. The calcium peroxyphosphate compounds are capable of releasing, in an aqueous environment, whitening and remineralization effective amounts of calcium ion, phosphate ion, and active oxygen. Preferred compounds are calcium peroxymonophosphate or calcium diperoxymonophosphate compounds. These compounds may be used in humans and other animals, including other mammals.

主权项

1. A method for whitening and remineralizing teeth, the method comprising combining separate precursor components of a dental restorative, before or during contacting with the teeth, wherein the precursor components react to form a composition comprising a calcium peroxyphosphate compound that is present in the composition in an amount from about 3% to about 32% by weight, and
wherein the composition, formed by reacting the precursor components, comprises the calcium peroxyphosphate compound stabilized at an acidic pH.
