PERIODONTITIS CURATIVE AGENT WITH MANUKA HONEY AS MAIN INGREDIENT AND SUPPLEMENT

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibacterial agent effective even to multidrug-resistant bacteria for periodontitis. PSOLUTION: The periodontitis curative agent is such that manuka honey of New Zealand growth as a kind of honey retrieved from the flowers of a plant, called "manuka" as an indigenous product of New Zealand is applied to a supplement for treating periodontitis. For the manuka honey of New Zealand growth, UMF10+, UMF15+ and UMF20+ have been commercialized, based on its bactericidal effect (UMF index). For the bactericidal/degerming purpose in treating periodontitis, by choosing UMF15+ or higher-grade items, the curative effect exceeds promise. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
