The present invention is directed to a dental floss comprising a basic amino acid or salt thereof.

Dental floss

Described herein are dental floss compositions comprising an elastomeric matrix containing one or more particles, and methods of making and using the same.

Elastomeric dental floss

The nylon fiber strand is coated with a coating to produce a coated surface on the nylon that mimics the surface characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The coating is comprised of a base prime coat and a top finish coat. These coatings are applied separately to the nylon fiber strand. The top finish coat which is also known as the nylon wax coat is comprised of waxes, an ester and a silicone, and primarily of waxes. The waxes are comprised of a mixture of a low melting point wax and a high melting point wax.

The floss is comprised of a texturized yarn that has been coated and impregnated with a water-soluble polymer and the water-soluble polymer coating cured and set while the yarn is stretched and is under tension. The yarn while stretched and tensioned is at a reduced width, which allows for easier insertion of the yarn floss between teeth. The yarn floss is wound onto a spool in the decreased width condition. For use, a length of floss is removed from the spool and placed between teeth. The saliva in the mouth dissolves the cured and set water-soluble polymer with the floss expanding to fill the space between the teeth. The floss is optionally coated with flavors, medicants and other substances. These can be synthetic or naturally occurring substances such as herbal substances.
