The present disclosure is generally directed toward a pontic material that is pliable and easily moldable, possesses a higher tear resistance to resist fragmenting and thus is long lasting, can be pigmented to achieve a good color match to adjacent teeth, and be fashioned into a pontic by the patient at home so as to free the orthodontist and their staff from having to do this purely aesthetic and time-consuming procedure. In addition, the pontic material of the present disclosure is typically permanently pliable so that an untrained person such as a patient would have unlimited time to make corrections to the shape of the material to obtain an aesthetically pleasing shape and typically do so without the use of tools or any specialized tools or equipment.
A dental composition for the desensitization and covering of an area of a human tooth comprising a finger malleable base material made up of a product consisting of either: one or more hydrocarbon-based waxes, possibly with either or both of an organic filler and an inorganic filler, an uncured, uncross linked silicone high consistency rubber base; or a hydrophobic water insoluble solid material that is malleable at 37° C. or lower and safe for a human oral environment. The dental composition also includes a combination of dry, powdered materials dispersed on a tooth-engaging surface of the finger malleable base material. The combination of dry, powdered materials comprises a water-soluble polymeric adhesive and at least one dental tubule blocking agent or hypersensitivity desensitization ingredient.
A method that includes the step of engaging an orthodontic protection device with a surface within a person's mouth chosen from the group consisting of: a tooth surface; an orthodontic appliance affixed to the tooth surface and a combination of the tooth surface and the orthodontic appliance affixed to the tooth surface. The orthodontic protection device includes an extruded base material that includes an uncured, uncross-linked silicone high consistency rubber base and the extruded base material has at least one dry, powdered hydrophilic polymeric substance on a surface of the extruded base material.

Temporary tooth repair/treatment composition and methods of use thereof
A method that includes the step of using a person's fingers to push a dental composition into engagement with a damaged tooth surface of a damaged tooth thereby adhering the dental composition to the damaged tooth surface and covering at least a portion of the damaged tooth surface. The dental composition includes a base material comprising at least one of the following compounds chosen from the group consisting of: a product consisting of one or more hydrocarbon-based waxes that may also include inorganic fillers and/or organic fillers; an uncured, uncrosslinked silicone high consistency rubber base; and a hydrophobic water insoluble solid material. The base material has a coating composition on one or more surface of the base material wherein the coating composition comprises: one or more desensitization ingredient and at least one dry, powdered hydrophilic polymeric substance.

An orthodontic protection device that includes: an extruded base material having an uncured, uncross-linked silicone high consistency rubber base where the extruded base material has at least one dry, powdered hydrophilic polymeric substance mechanically or frictionally engaged with and dispersed on a surface of the extruded base material thereby forming a finger force malleable hydrophobic base material composite configured to be applied to a surface of a tooth, a surface of an orthodontic appliance or both a surface of a tooth and a surface of an orthodontic appliance using finger pressure within about eight seconds or less.
An aspect of the present disclosure includes a composition configured for use in the buccal cavity of a mammal and configured to adhere to the surface of a tooth or teeth and/or one or more orthodontic devices engaged to a tooth. The composition typically includes an admixed composite having an uncured (uncrosslinked) high consistency rubber base material, more typically an uncured (uncrosslinked) silicone high consistency rubber base material; a moisture activated adhesive, typically one or more polyvinylpyrrolidone; and a plasticizer, typically glycerin.
An orthodontic protection device including: a protective layer shaped sized to fit over the facial surface of at least one tooth of a human and any orthodontic appliances affixed to the facial surfaces of the at least one tooth, wherein the protective layer includes a moldable material; and an adhesive layer including at least one hygroscopic polymeric material on a facial surface of the protective layer.
An easily applied device is described that protects the soft tissues inside of the mouth from abrasion by orthodontic braces. The device consists of a putty-like, moldable material that may be pressed onto and into and molded about the brackets and wires of orthodontic braces, and a plasticized and dehydrated or partially dehydrated hydrogel-forming layer on those surfaces of the device that contact the braces and teeth so as to absorb saliva and dry to some extent the surfaces to which the device is pressed and to offer initial adhesion of the device to the teeth and/or braces.
A protective shield is removably mounted over an orthodontic appliance in a user's mouth and includes an outer resilient compressible material layer joined to an inner adhesive layer. The shield is flexible for easy installation over all exposed surfaces of the orthodontic appliance; but is removable after a period of use. The outer resilient material layer of the shield can be formed of closed cell foam or a gelatinous material.
