FORMULATION AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF TEETH

摘要

Tooth dentin is treated by applying thereto a paste or other solution to effect plugging of the tubules to eliminate or reduce tooth sensitivity. The solution may be applied to other tooth components for treatment thereof. The solution has a lanthanide salt dissolved therein and a pH between about 6 and 7 and includes an agent for bulking so as to enhance the plugging effect. A dental restoration has incorporated therein lanthanide ions.
