Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method of remineralizing and desensitizing teeth utilizing the sequential steps of first applying to the teeth a first component that attaches to the teeth and secondly applying to the teeth treated with the first component a second component that attaches to the first component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of remineralizing teeth, comprising the steps of: (a) applying to the teeth a first component that attaches to the teeth; and (b) applying to the teeth treated with the first component a second component that attaches to the first component. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said first component comprises negatively charged components and said second component comprises positively charged components. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said first component is selected from the group consisting of bare and functionalized silica particles, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, alginate, nucleic acids, citrates, and polymer films and wherein said second component is selected from the group consisting of chitosan, polylysine, arginine, calcium cations, proteins, functionalized nano- and micro-particles, and polymer films. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said first component comprises positively charged components and said second component comprises negatively charged components. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said first component is selected from the group consisting of chitosan, polylysine, arginine, calcium cations, proteins, functionalized nano- and micro-particles, and polymer films and wherein said second component is selected from the group consisting of bare and functionalized silica particles, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, alginate, nucleic acids, citrates, and polymer films. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein either said first or second component further comprises nanoparticles, microparticles, polymer films, phospholipids, and small molecules, pristine or modified by remineralizing, desensitizing, antibacterial, fluoride-supplying, and other functional groups. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said first and second components are contained in different dentifrices, such as toothpaste, mouth rinse, chewing gum, dental floss, toothpicks, dentures, retainers, and the like, or foods, and are deposited on the tooth surface by sequential application of the listed dentifrices or consumption of foods, or combinations of thereof.
