MATERIALS AND METHODS OF DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF VOLATILE SOLVENTS IN TEETH WHITENING COMPOSITIONS
A method of accurately and precisely measuring the volatile solvent content of tooth whitening compounds incorporates taking a representative sample of the compound at a given stage of manufacture and measuring its weight before and after a heating process to eliminate substantially all the volatile solvents contained within the sample. By comparing initial and finished weights, the percentage of volatile solvents may be obtained. The process may then be repeated throughout the manufacturing process until any desired solvent concentration is reached.

An improved method of endodontic therapy utilizes two strategies to create long lasting and effective dental restoration. After a root canal is prepared by conventional means, a dye is flooded into the canal to stain residual infected tissue. The dye is selected to enhance the absorption of radiant energy by dyed tissue by matching at least one λmax of the dye to the output of a laser. The radiant energy (24) from the laser is then used to obliterate all infected root tissues (16) remaining within the prepared root canal (14). Laser treatment extends from the root apex (12) to the tooth corona (18). Second, cements utilizing an anti-microbial agent such as zinc pyrithione are used to restore the tooth, giving the restoration inherent anti-microbial properties. While ideally used together, each strategy may also be utilized on its own for improvement over the prior art.
A disinfectant with improved properties may feature combinations of water, alcohol, and zinc pyrithione. Preferred embodiments utilize ethanol, menthol and isopropanol in various concentrations based upon effectiveness. Zinc pyrithione is then dissolved in an admixture of alcohol and water up to its saturation point, which should be a minimum of 50 ppm and may approach 60 ppm.

The present invention is a formable dental treatment tray utilizing poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and a gelatinous active. Blending of the active is accomplished by mixing the Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) with an active ingredient, such as a peroxide like hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, sodium perborate, or sodium percarbonate, usually also with water or an appropriate organic solvent. Peroxide concentrations in these new gels can reach a 30% concentration of hydrogen peroxide while maintaining a shelf life of six months at room temperature without developing peroxide decomposition. The gels are applied to an appropriate backing and dried to a gelatinous state. In use, the active is hydrated and regains adhesiveness. Then the tray is pressed and formed around a user's dental arch to form the customizable tray. Multiple active ingredients may be used, with or without peroxide, for accomplishing desired treatment regimens.

The present invention is a formable dental treatment tray utilizing poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and a gelatinous active. Blending of the active is accomplished by mixing the Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) with an active ingredient, such as a peroxide like hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, sodium perborate, or sodium percarbonate, usually also with water or an appropriate organic solvent. Peroxide concentrations in these new gels can reach a 30% concentration of hydrogen peroxide while maintaining a shelf life of six months at room temperature without developing peroxide decomposition. The gels are applied to an appropriate backing and dried to a gelatinous state. In use, the active is hydrated and regains adhesiveness. Then the tray is pressed and formed around a user's dental arch to form the customizable tray. Multiple active ingredients may be used, with or without peroxide, for accomplishing desired treatment regimens.
