ANTIBACTERIAL ORAL GEL COMPOSITION FOR APPLICATION TO DENTAL IMPLANT AREAS

摘要

An oral gel composition suitable for application to teeth and gums, particularly of people having dental implants. The gel composition contains an aqueous orally acceptable gel vehicle, a substantially water-insoluble noncationic antibacterial antiplaque agent, such as 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxyl-diphenyl ether (triclosan) and an antibacterial-enhancing agent which enhances delivery of said antibacterial agent to, and retention thereof on, oral surfaces. The gel composition is extruded from a syringe into contact with a dental implant area thereby causing the composition to be delivered to and retained on the dental implant area.
