Sugarless gum containing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate
Abstract
Abstract A SUGARLESS GUN CONTAINING A FREELY RELEASABLE FORM OF DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE DIHYDRATE IS PREPARED BY COATING OF AGGLOMERATING DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE DIHYDRATE POWDER WITH A WATER-SOLUBLE POLYL OR COMBINATION OF POLYVOLS, SUCH AS MANNITOL, SORBITOL, XYLITOL, OR ARABITOL, PRIOR TO INCORPORATION INTO THE GUM COMPOSITION. ABOUT 0.5 TO 18 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF THE POLYOL INGREDIENT IS MIXED WITH 1 PART BY WEIGHT OF DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE DIHYDRATE POWDER AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER IS ADDED; THE AGGLOMERATE FORMED IS DRIED, PULVERIZED AND INCORPORATED INTO A SUGARLESS GUM COMPOSITION PREPARED FROM GUM BASE, SORBITOL SOLUTION, SORBITOL, MANNITOL, ARTIFICAL SWEETENERS, AND FLAVORING AGENTS. THIS CHEWING GUM PRODUCT PROVIDES A METHOD FOR REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF DENTAL CARIES SINCE THERAPEUTICALLY BENEFICIAL QUANTITIES OF DICALIUM PHOSPHATE DIHYDRATE ARE FREELY RELEASED INTO THE ORAL CAVITY AND BROUGHT INTO CONTACT WITH THE DENTAL ENAMEL UPON CHEWING OF THE GUM.
