Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A pharmaceutical composition for use in desensitizing dentin or eliminating odontalgia comprising N-methacryloyl aminosalicylic acid in an amount effective to desensitize hypersensitive dentin or to eliminate odontalgia at a place where enamel is cracked or broken, if retained or tightly adhered to the surface of the exposed affected dentin, as an endodontium protective coating, a compound having an unsaturated group, a polymerization initiator and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
