ORAL LIQUID DENTAL SUSPENSION FORMING A VARNISH FOR CONTROLLED TEETH WHITENING AND ENAMEL CARE

Abstract

An oral liquid dental suspension is disclosed, including (a) a tooth whitening agent; (b) a solvent; and (c) at least one of (i) a resin or (ii) a urethane. The suspension is formulated to be applied to the surface of human teeth, where it rapidly dries—even in the presence of saliva—to form an adherent varnish. This varnish enables prolonged and effective contact between the whitening agent and tooth enamel for enhanced whitening efficacy. The composition may further include one or more optional additives, such as sweeteners, glazing agents, teeth desensitizers, remineralization agents, sequestering agents, complexing agents, or fluoridation agents. Also provided are kits containing the oral liquid dental suspension and one or more applicators, as well as methods of use involving topical application to teeth and subsequent drying to achieve a whitening effect.
