Methods for whitening teeth including contacting teeth with an effective amount of particulate bioactive glass are disclosed.

Methods and compositions for whitening teeth

A novel silica based bioactive glass composition that can be used in conjunction with a delivery agent such as a toothpaste, gel saliva, etc. having a particle size range <90 &mgr;m which will form a rapid and continuous reaction with body fluids due to the immediate and long term ionic release of Ca and P from the core silica particles, to produce a stable crystalline hydroxy carbonate apatite layer deposited onto and into the dentin tubules for the immediate and long term reduction of dentin hypersensitivity.

Compositions containing bioactive glass and their use in treating tooth hypersensitivity

A novel silica based bioactive glass composition that can be used in conjunction with a delivery agent such as a toothpaste, gel, etc. having a particle size range <90 &mgr;m which will form a rapid and continuous reaction with body fluids due to the immediate and long term ionic release of Ca and P from the core silica particles, to produce a stable crystalline hydroxy carbonate apatite layer deposited onto and into the dentin tubules for the immediate and long term reduction of dentin hypersensitivity and tooth surface remineralization.

Bioactive glass compositions and methods of treatment using bioactive glass

This invention relates to a synthetic bone replacement material impregnated with drugs such as antibiotics and growth hormones, which facilitate and promote the regeneration of bone and/or soft tissue. Methods for making the impregnated material and its medical use are also taught.

Use of biologically active glass as a drug delivery system

Use of biogically active glass as a drug delivery system

A novel silica based bioactive glass composition that can be used in conjunction with a delivery agent such as a toothpaste, gel, etc. having a particle size range &lt;90 .mu.gm which will form a rapid and continuous reaction with body fluids due to the immediate and long term ionic release of Ca and P from the core silica particles, to produce a stable crystalline hydroxy carbonate apatite layer deposited onto and into the dentin tubules for the immediate and long term reduction of dentin hypersensitivity and tooth surface remineralization.
