The present invention relates to a stable protease formulation. Furthermore, it relates to a stable protease formulation for use in medicine and cosmetics, as well as a method of preventing and reducing biofilm formulation.

Provided are: a method for producing an oral composition suitable for treatment or prevention of a disease or symptom in the oral cavity; and an oral composition produced by the production method. The oral composition production method characterized by including a mixing step of mixing earthworm castings with water and a collecting step of collecting vaporized water generated from a mixture obtained in the mixing step to obtain a liquid; and the oral composition produced by the production method. It is preferred to further mix an organic substance together with the earthworm castings and the water in the mixing step.

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.

The present invention provides a tooth cleaning composition containing a weakly acidic hypochlorite solution that has an effective chloride concentration of 100-2000 (mass ppm) and a pH of 3.0-6.5.

Disclosed are compositions containing a lactoferrin hydrolysate, glycerophosphorylinositol or salts thereof and/or verbascoside which are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of dermatological, otological and stomatological inflammations and infections, in particular in the veterinary sphere.

The present invention provides a composition for preventing, improving or treating periodontal diseases comprising extract of mangosteen.

The composition of the present invention has excellent anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects against bacteria inducing periodontal diseases as comprising extract of mangosteen, or alpha-mangosteen or gamma-mangosteen derived from thereof, and thereby it can be widely used for medicines and foods for preventing, improving or treating periodontal diseases.

Dental treatments and methods, including treating gum disease, using peroxide gel and a viscous antibacterial agent including tetracycline to chemically debride and curettage a treatment area. Treatments and methods include non-surgically scaling and root plaining the treatment area with dental tools such as periodontal scalers and/or curettes during the active period of the chemical debridement. The working surfaces of dental tools can be sharpened for optimal root and tooth surfacing during treatment. Treatment can include instructions for co-therapy by or on behalf of treatment subjects between visits and for maintenance care.

A method for inhibiting bacterial adhesion of oral pathogens, comprising administering a heat-inactivated Lactobacillus strain to a subject in need to inhibit bacterial adhesion of oral pathogens is disclosed. The Lactobacillus strain is selected from Lactobacillus paracasei GMNL-143, Lactobacillus helveticus GMNL-164 or Lactobacillus rhamnosus GMNL-464. A composition for inhibiting bacterial adhesion of oral pathogens is also disclosed.

The present disclosure describes methods for preventing or treating periodontitis or diseases associated with periodontitis. The present disclosure also describes methods of screening for compounds that can be used to prevent or treat periodontitis or diseases associated with periodontitis.

The present invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a dipeptide of the formula Xaa1-Xaa2 or Xaa2-Xaa1; wherein Xaa1 is an amino acid with a polar uncharged side chain; and Xaa2 is selected from an amino acid with a hydrophobic side chain, an amino acid with a polar uncharged side chain, and proline; or (b) a dipeptide of the formula Xaa3-Xaa4 or Xaa4-Xaa3; wherein Xaa3 is an amino acid with a hydrophobic side chain; and Xaa4 is selected from an amino acid with a hydrophobic side chain and an amino acid with a charged side chain.
