Abstract
A method of treating teeth in dentistry, for the prevention of calculus, removal of caries, and dissolving of plaque, comprises bringing into contact with the teeth an aqueous solution containing a hypochlorite of an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal, and an amino compound capable of forming water-soluble non-mucous irritating N-chloro and/or N-dichloro derivatives thereof. The amine may be tertiary, or rearranged to result in a secondary or primary amine. Preferably an excess of amine to hypochlorite is used, to faciliate demineralization of old plaque and caries. For maintenance of the desired pH, a buffering system may be included. The solution may be used as a mouth wash, or in the form of a jet stream or a pulsated jet stream through an applicator such as a hypodermic needle, or with a carrier in the form of a paste for application with a brush.
