Abstract
The disclosure relates to oral delivery compositions that transition from a flowable state to a hardened or semi-hardened state. The flowable hardening composition may be delivered to oral tissues, including teeth and/or gums, directly or using a barrier strip or a tray-like device. Such compositions may be configured as a multi-part system wherein reactive materials (e.g., catalyst and reactive resins) are kept separate until use. Dispersion of the agents in a viscous carrier within the hardened composition enables a gradual release the desired agent(s) to reduce or eliminate sensitivity that may be caused by certain agents (e.g., dental whitening agents). The hardened delivery composition may include a reverse image of the oral tissue, allowing it to be removed and replaced multiple times during a single use, giving users more flexibility during treatment.
