Method for tooth whitening, in particular a system for tooth whitening using a dissolvable tray or strip

摘要

Method of tooth whitening includes the use of a tooth whitening composition incorporated in a dissolvable strip or mouth tray. This strip or mouth tray may be made of different compositions, one example being a hydrogel including acemannan, such as an Acemannan Hydrogel™ from Carrington Industries. The strip or mouth tray may incorporate an oxidizing agent, which is encapsulated within a water-soluble substance, which dissolves over time, thus providing a time-release effect. The rate of time release of the whitener may be varied depending on the intended use.
