TOOTHPASTE FOR PREVENTING COLD TEETH AND PERIODONTAL DISEASES AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toothpaste for preventing cold teeth and periodontal diseases and a manufacturing method therefor, in which a toothpaste containing minerals that have lost electrons is used, wherein the toothpaste has excellent therapeutic and preventive effects on various types of mouth diseases since a principle that minerals (metallic) that have lost electrons tend to take electrons from other atoms to be stabilized, that is, covalently bonded or coordinated, is applied to the toothpaste.

[0031] When the amount of minerals that have lost electrons is 0.1 wt % or less, the coating effect on the tooth surface is insignificant, and when the amount of minerals that have lost electrons is 15 wt % or more, the alkalinity becomes too strong so that there is a risk that the gums may be peeled off.

[0032] Accordingly, it is preferable to add the minerals that have lost electrons within the above range, and optimally, it is added in an amount of 3 to 9 weight % based on the total weight of the toothpaste.

[0034] At least three types of minerals may be used, and the types of minerals may be at least one of foods and herbal medicines containing a large amount of minerals and mineral-containing materials.

[0035] The herbal medicine containing the minerals may be at least one of a bovine bone, an osterea testa raw material, and a cassia occidentalis raw material.

[0036] The minerals that have lost electrons may be prepared by heating a mineral raw material at 850° C. or higher for 15 minutes or more so that the mineral loses electrons.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the method of manufacturing a toothpaste containing minerals that have lost electrons includes: washing the minerals; ionizing to prepare the minerals that have lost electrons; pulverizing the minerals that have lost electrons; preparing a basic composition by mixing flavors to a basic material of the toothpaste; preparing purified mineral water by mixing the pulverized minerals that have lost electrons with purified water; and aging by mixing a mixed composition with the purified mineral water.

[0038] The toothpaste prepared as shown in FIG. 1 is completed as a product by filling the toothpaste in a container.

[0039] The minerals that have lost electrons are added in an amount of 0.1 to 15% based on the total weight of the toothpaste composition, but as described above, the optimal mixing ratio is preferably 3 to 9 weight % based on the total weight of the toothpaste.

[0040] The minerals that have lost electrons may be prepared by using at least one of foods and herbal medicines containing a large amount of minerals and mineral-containing materials.

[0041] According to the method for producing the minerals that have lost electrons, a raw material containing the minerals is heated at 850° C.° or higher for 15 minutes or more to cause the minerals to lose electrons.

[0042] The purified mineral water may be prepared by mixing 1 to 50 weight % of an organic acid and 1 to 50 weight % of the minerals that have lost electrons based on the total weight of purified water.

[0043] Hereinafter, examples of the method for manufacturing toothpaste by the above method will be described.

EXAMPLE

[0044] 1. Materials and Methods

[0045] (1) The toothpaste composition contains a wetting agent (glycerin, sorbitol solution), a foaming agent (sodium lauryl sulfate), a sweetener (xylitol), an active ingredient (propolis), a fragrance (menthol), a solvent (purified water), a brightener (titanium dioxide) and the basic materials constituting the toothpaste were purchased from the market.

[0046] (2) Minerals that have lost electrons were prepared by purchasing bovine bones, abalone, and oysters.

[0047] (3) Preparing of minerals that have lost electrons—raw materials of (2) was put in an electric furnace and heated at 1250° C. for 25 minutes to cause the minerals to lose more than 93% of electrons. After taking out the raw materials, the raw materials were pulverized by a pulverizer (Halide SB-4, Sweden) for 10 minutes and 10% of the raw materials was stirred in distilled water (20° C.), and the resulted solution was treated with ozone for residual discoloration and odor removal.

[0048] (4) Then, purified water in which a large amount of minerals that have lost electrons is dissolved was prepared by adding 1 to 50 weight % of organic acids and 1 to 50 weight % of minerals that have lost electrons in the purified water (it is not necessary to use the prepared purified water, and it can be used only when it is necessary to lower the pH while increasing the content of minerals that have lost electrons).

[0050] A toothpaste was prepared by mixing the components in the composition ratio as shown in above Table 1

[0051] 3. Experiment for Halitosis Removal Effect

[0052] After selecting 20 males and females who are aware that they have halitosis as clinical test subjects, they ate the same type of foods, and the degree of halitosis was quantified by using a halimeter (model SB-17, USA). Then, persons with weak halitosis (60 or less) and very strong halitosis (350 or more) were excluded from the test, and then the halitosis was measured with respect to five persons who belong to the groups of Comparative Examples and Examples, and the mean values were adjusted so that the average values were similar between two groups. For the purpose of reproducibility, in the next day, the initial halitosis was measured for 20 males and females when 30 minutes and 60 minutes have elapsed after the same meal. Then, after providing toothbrushes and toothpastes for each composition (Example), the tooth brushing was performed for 3 minutes in the same way and the final halitosis was measured after 30 minutes and 60 minutes have elapsed.

[0053] The given value is the average value of two tests.

[0054] {circle around (1)} In Comparative Example 1, when 30 minutes and 60 minutes have elapsed after meals, the rate of halitosis removal decreased by 15-25% compared to the baseline.

[0055] {circle around (2)} Examples 1, 2, and 3 showed a decrease of about 26 to 35% compared to the baseline, and in particular, Example 3 showed the greatest decrease with a decrease of 31 to 39%.

[0056] 4. Gingivitis Inhibition Test

[0057] This test was conducted on 20 subjects in relatively similar environment, and the primary oral examination was conducted for all subjects before the test to obtain a baseline. The test method was a single-blind method, and the same tooth cleaning agent and toothbrush were provided to all subjects during the residual effect removal period of 4 weeks before the test.

[0058] In the test, the gum was divided into buccal surface and lingual surface per one tooth to calculate the average value of the index. Each gingivitis was assessed from 0 to 3 points according to the Silness-Loe marking standard to obtain the gingival index for each tooth, after which average grade for gingival index of each entity was calculated, wherein the measurement for the test was taken a total of three times in one month interval.

[0059] The given value is the average value of two tests.

[0060] {circle around (1)} In Comparative Example 1, there was no significant change even after 2 to 4 months.

[0061] {circle around (2)} In the case of Examples 1, 2, and 3, there was decrease of 8 to 33% after 2 months, and 21 to 37% after 4 months.

[0062] {circle around (3)} Example 3 showed the greatest decrease.

[0063] 5. Comparison Test for Reducing Cold Teeth

[0064] This test was conducted on 25 subjects with relatively identical cold teeth, and all the subjects drank 9° C. cold water 5 times before the test, and the degree of irritation was precisely measured to obtain the baseline.

[0065] In the test, all the subjects were provided with the same tooth cleaning agent and the toothbrush of the same standard.

[0066] Tooth brushing was performed for 3 minutes in the morning and evening after meals, and after 1 month of use, the degree of irritation was measured.

[0067] The given value was averaged over two tests.

[0068] {circle around (2)} In Comparative Example 1, there was no significant change even after 1 month and 2 months.

[0069] {circle around (2)} Examples 1, 2, and 3 showed a decrease of 8 to 93% compared to the baseline after 1 month, and a decrease of 10 to 98% after 2 months.

[0070] {circle around (3)} Example 3 showed the greatest decrease.
