A biocompatible composite material for controlled release is disclosed, comprising a biocompatible metal oxide structure with a loaded network of pores. The pore network of the biocompatible composite material is filled with a uniformly distributed biologically active micellizing amphiphilic molecule, the size of these pores ranging from about 0.5 to about 100 nanometers. The material is characterized in that when exposed to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the controlled release of the active amphiphilic molecule is predominantly diffusion-driven over time.

A method and apparatus, for treating plaque and calculus in the mouth cavity—particularly on teeth—are disclosed. The apparatus—and accordingly the method—is comprised of introducing at least one first-component comprising a material with a redox potential for preventing anions precipitation; and introducing at least one second-component comprising a material with a redox potential for preventing cations precipitation.

Provided is a curable composition comprising a polymerizable monomer (A); spherical particles (B) having an average primary-particle diameter in a range of 230 nm to 1,000 nm; and a polymerization initiator (C), in which 90% or more of individual particles constituting the spherical particles (B) lies in a range of ±5% based on the average primary-particle diameter, and the refractive index of the spherical particles (B) is larger than the refractive index of a polymer of the polymerizable monomer (A). When a 1 mm-thick cured product is formed from the curable composition and the Y value (Yb) of the colored light of the cured product on a black background and the Y value (Yw) of the colored light of the cured product on a white background are each measured using a color difference meter, the ratio therebetween, Yb/Yw, being within a range of 0.2 to 0.5.
