Stable polymer-enzyme oral hygiene compositions
Abstract
Abstract ORAL HYGIENCE COMPOSITIONS, COMPRISING POLYMERENZYME PRODUCTS WHEREIN THE ENZYME IS COVALENTLY BOUND, HAVING PROTEASE ACTIVITY WITHIN THE PH RANGE OF THE ORAL CAVITY, AND SUCH COMPOSITIONS COMSPRISING A PLURALITY OF POLYMER-ENZYME PRODUCTS OR A POLYMER-PLURAL ENZYME PRODUCT, WHEREBY THE RANGE OF EFFECTIVE ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY IS EXTENDED. THE COMPOSITIONS ARE STABLE, LONG-ACTING IN USE, SUBSTANTIVE TO THE TEETH, AND NOT READILY SUBJECT TO DENATURATION OF THE ENZYMATIC COMPONENT THEREOF EVEN UPON LONG STORAGE. THE POLYMER-ENZYME PRODUCTS EMPLOYED ARE TAILORED TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE NORMAL RELATIVELY NEUTRAL PH RANGE OF THE ORAL CAVITY. ONE ESPECIALLY PREFERRED COMPOSITION FOR DENTAL USE COMPRISES A POLYMERENZYME PRODUCT WHEREIN BOTH NEUTRAL PROTEASE AND DEXTRANASE ARE COVALENTLY BOUND. METHOD OF USING SUCH POLYMER-ENZYME PRODUCTS IN ORAL HYGIENE.
