Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting, treating, and preventing dental diseases in human and non-human animals, particularly domesticated companion animals. More particularly, the present invention relates to the unexpected discovery that the combination of micron-sized particulate bioactive glass and a topical bisphosphonate yields a composition that is capable of treating and/or preventing dental problems such as periodontal disease, tooth decay and tooth resorption in animals, particularly small mammals such as cats.
