Description
Title: Remineralizing dental hygiene products.
The present invention relates to remineralizing dental hygiene products like tooth pastes, chewing gums, mouth rinsing fluids, saliva substitutes and gel suspensions.
Toothpastes have been known for a long time, for example from US patents nos. 5,605,677 and 5,993,786. From the former US patent, for example, a polishing agent is known which comprises silica and dicalcium phosphate di ydrate in a ratio by weight of 10:1 - 1:1. One drawback of such a formulation is that in a slightly alkaline environment, as can be found in the mouth of a user, phosphate and calcium ions are released to such an extent that it leads to precipitation of calcium phosphate. Thus, such formulations will enhance the development of dental calculus which normally occurs in a slightly alkaline environment, in particular in the user's mouth.
At present many dental hygiene products are fluoridated. The action of fluoride in oral affairs is that it retards the demineralization of tooth enamel which is due to plaque activity, and so helps to prevent the growth of initial carious lesions. There is no proof whatsoever that these products lead to remineralization of carious lesions (see e.g. F.C.M. Driessens, Mineral Aspects of Dentistry, S. Karger, Basel, 1982 and F.C.M. Driessens and R.M.H. Verbeeck, Biominerals, CRC Press, Boca Raton, 1990). Neither do these products lead to desensitization of dentine lesions in the tooth neck region. Therefore, there is a big need for remineralizing dental hygiene products.
Up to now, the only evidence that under natural conditions remineralization of initial carious lesions can occur, comes from epidemiological studies (0. Backer Dirks, Longitudinal dental caries study in children 5-15 years of age, Arch. Oral Biol. 6 (1961) 94-121). There is agreement among dental researchers about the fact that the
remineralizing power is located in the saliva, but despite extensive studies it is not known which degree of saturation or supersaturation in the saliva is reponsible for this remineralizing power, be it that of brushite, that of monetite, that of octacalciu phosphate, that of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite, or that of hydroxyapatite.
It is an object of the present invention to provide dental hygiene products in the form of tooth pastes, chewing gums, mouth rinsing fluids, saliva substitutes and gel suspensions, which have remineralizing power in the natural oral environment, even under slightly acidic conditions where otherwise carious lesions would be formed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide dental hygiene products in the form of tooth pastes, chewing gums, mouth rinsing fluids, saliva substitutes and gel suspensions which slow down the demineralization of tooth tissues caused by dental plaque activity. A further object of the present invention is to provide dental hygiene products in the form of tooth pastes, chewing gums, mouth rinsing fluids, saliva substitutes and gel suspensions which counteract the demineralization of tooth enamel and dentin caused by therapeutic etching fluids applied during dental treatments. The present invention is characterized in that the remineralizing hygiene products comprise CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2, as well as the usual additives.
The CaKP04 and Ca2NaK(P04)2 are solid substances, which exhibit a relatively high solubility and which are furthermore stable in a slightly alkaline environment. When an heavily acidic solution in the form of acetic acid or lactic acid is added thereto, however, a reaction will take place so as to form a precipitate of potassium containing apatite K-A. Said K-A releases some calcium and phosphate ions but only in a relatively low concentration. Better for remineralization is a slightly acidic environment which will fully use the remineralizing power of these compounds. In practice the slight acidification of the dental
hygiene product, which comprises CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2, will be caused by the slightly acidic compounds that are present in the mouth when caries occurs therein. Thus, the remineralizing activity of the present dental hygiene product, which comprises CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2, will take place automatically due to the slightly acidic environment in the mouth.
During the last 15 years we have worked on the development of calcium phosphate cements. Up to now the commercial calcium phosphate cements are apatitic in nature. However, there are three types. See Table 1.
Table 1.
HA is hydroxyapatite, CDHA is calcium deficient hydroxyapatite and K-A is potassium containing apatite. HA and CDHA can also contain some Na and C03. The pH ranges in this table are very important. They mean that the corresponding cement powders react preferably to form the corresponding apatites in the indicated pH range.
Reversely, it means that the indicated apatites form by precipitation only within the corresponding pH ranges. As the pH of human saliva is in the range 5.5 < pH < 7.5, the only apatite which can precipitate from human saliva is potassium containing apatite K-A. Therefore, we come to the conclusion that the remineral zing power of saliva is located in its supersaturating with K-A. And, indeed, human saliva contains considerable amounts of calcium ions, phosphate ions, potassium ions (and sodium ions)
(F.C.H. Driessens, Mineral Aspects of Dentistry, S. Karger, Basel, 1982).
This also means that on the basis of this knowledge we can design remineral zing dental hygiene products which have even higher remineralizing power than the natural saliva. Important for that purpose is the use of the compounds which are parent for the formation of K-A cements. These are CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2. These have a relatively high solubility compared to e.g. brushite, monetite, octacalcium pohosphate, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite, and, in addition, they contain all the ingredients necessary for the formation of K-A prec pitates. Therefore, tooth pastes, chewing gums and gel suspensions with remineralizing power can be prepared by designing formulations which comprise CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 and which are adjusted to a suitable pH. Moreover, mouth rinsing fluids and saliva substitutes with remineralizing power can be prepared by designing formulations which comprise dissolved calcium ions, potassium ions and phosphate ions from whatever suitable sources are available and in such a way that these products are adjusted to a suitable pH.
The suitability of the pH in these products is determined by a value at which the solubility of CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 is as high as possible without the occurrence of spontaneous nucleation of potassium containing apatite K-A. In our research on calcium phosphate cements we have noticed that spontaneous nucleation of K-A occurs, when CaKP04 crystals and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 crystals are in contact with aqueous solutions having a pH below 4. Hence, pH values suitable for the remineralizing dental hygiene products, which we aim at, is between pH 4 and pH 8, preferably between pH 5 and pH 7. The reason is that products at a pH below 4 will loose most of their remineralizing capacity too soon by spontaneous nucleation of K-A and will therefore have a shelf life which is too short, whereas the remineralizing power of these products will be too low when their pH is higher than 8 due to the limited solubility of CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 at such pH values. Hence, we aim at pH values whereby K-A apatite can have crystal growth on existing
apatite crystals, but whereby spontaneous K-A nucleation does not occur. Thereby, the existing apatite crystals are meant to be the HA crystals in tooth enamel and the CDHA crystals of dentine. As known from our in vitro work, the K-A layers which grow on the HA and CDHA crystals are spontaneously transformed into HA and CDHA respectively by maturation. In this way, the crystals in initial carious lesions in tooth enamel and dentine can be healed by ongrowth first of K-A layers which are transformed into the original HA and CDHA apatite by spontaneous maturation later on. It is important to notice that in the remineralizing dental hygiene products of the present invention the amounts of fluoride or zinc should be as low as possible. Small amounts of fluoride will destroy the remineralizing power by precipitation of calcium fluoride, whereas zinc will do the same by precipitation of zinc phosphate. In the remineralizing dental hygiene products according to the present invention the amount of CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 preferably ranges between 1 and 80 wt.%, especially between 5 and 70 wt.%, in particular between 20 and 50 wt.%, based on the total weight of the products. As far as tooth pastes are concerned it should be understood that they also may comprise other polishing agents which are usual according to the prior art, such as silica, for example. These products may also comprise one or more of the components from the group consisting of water, thickeners, foaming agents, lubricants, enzymes, colorants, flavourings and moisturizers as additives. If the amount of CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 is less than 1 wt.%, the remineralizing capacity of these products will be too small. On the other hand, an amount of more than 80 wt.% will lead to products which are unmanageable, which are brittle and crumbling, and which will desintegrate.
The mouth rinsing fluids and the saliva substitutes of the present invention comprise an aqueous solution containing calcium ions, phosphate ions and potassium ions in such a way that their concentrations
are higher than those of equilibrium with K-A at the adjusted pH value, but equal to or lower than saturation with CaKP04 and/or Ca2KNa(P04)2 at the adjusted pH. Additional ions may comprise sodium and chloride for example. Furthermore, these dental hygiene products may comprise one or more of the components from the group consisting of water, thickeners, foaming agents, lubricants, enzymes, colorants, flavourings and moisturizers.
The present invention will be explained hereafter by means of a number of examples, whereby it should be noted, however, that the present invention is by no means restricted to such special examples.
Example 1: Preparation of CaKPO,, and Ca;KNa(PQ1);;.
An amount of 2 mole CaHP04 and 1 mole K2C03 was thoroughly mixed and then heated at 1000 °C for one hour, and subsequently quenched in the air, after which the powder obtained as CaKP04 was ground to a fineness of less than 30 μm.
An amount of 4 mole CaHP04, 1 mole K2C03 and 1 mole Na2C03 was thoroughly mixed and then heated at 1000 °C for one hour, and subsequently quenched in the air, after which the powder obtained as Ca2KNa(P04)2 was ground to a fineness of less than 30 μm. Example 2: Spontaneous nucleation of K-A.
Part of the powder of CaKP04 as prepared in Example 1 above was mixed with 2 N acetic acid to form a pasta at pH 3.5. After a few hours the paste appeared to have been converted into K-A, which exhibited an X-ray diffraction pattern identical to the pattern of the nano apatite that occurs in bone and dentin. The same reaction occurs with a part of the powder of Ca2KNa(P04)2 as prepared in Example 1 above upon addition of 2 N acetic acid. When in both cases 2 N lactic acid at pH 2 was used in stead of 2 N acetic acid, the end products were also K-A with a nano apatite structure. Example 3.
The same procedure as disclosed in Example 2 was repeated,
except that a paste was prepared at a pH value of 9. In that case the use of a calcium ion electrode showed that the equilibrium concentration of calcium is below 0.1 mol which is too low for having good remineralization properties.
An amount of 10 g Ca2KNa(P04)2 as prepared in Example 1 was mixed with 10 ml water, resulting in a pH of about 6-7 (Experiment A). Furthermore, 10 g Ca2KNa(P04)2 was mixed with 10 ml water, which contained 1% Na2C03.10 H20 and 1% KHC03 (resulting in a pH of about 8) (Experiment B). After 14 days of equilibration at room temperature, it appeared that neither the solid crystalline substance in Experiment A nor that in Experiment B had changed. This proves that Ca2KNa(P04)2 is indeed stable in a slightly acidic environment (Experiment A) and in a slightly alkaline environment (Experiment B).
