<p>This invention is a passive delivery system for medically active agents, including antimicrobial agents, that are incorporated directly into polymeric materials during the fabrication of both fixed, and removable dental appliances (10). An efficacious amount of the antimicrobial agent is added to the polymeric material which in turn is molded into the desired dental appliance (10). The antimicrobial agent slowly releases from the matrix of the polymeric material thereby inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria on the surface of the fabricated dental appliance (10).</p> |
