Description

Gel composition having improved adhesive property for tooth patch

The present invention relates to a gel composition for adhesion of a tooth in the form of a gel for attaching a tooth patch to a tooth surface, wherein the adhesion of the tooth patch is improved, and more specifically, the tooth whitening while allowing the patch to be well attached to the tooth. It relates to a composition for bonding a tooth surface in the form of a gel that can enhance the effect.

Recently, as interest in beauty increases, interest in teeth whitening is also increasing, and thus, whitening agents containing a whitening component have been developed. A representative formulation among these whitening agents is a whitening patch that can be attached to teeth.

In some cases, the tooth whitening patch is composed of a single layer containing both the tooth whitening component and other active ingredients. In general, along with the drug (whitening component) delivery layer containing the tooth whitening component, the whitening component is effectively delivered to the tooth, or , Including an additional layer other than the drug (whitening component) delivery layer for a variety of reasons, such as promoting the effect of the whitening component, or preventing the stability of other components from being lowered when mixed with the whitening component Multi-layered patches have been studied.

This multi-layered whitening patch has the advantage of being able to achieve a desired effect through various designs, such as improving the stability of active ingredients such as whitening components, compared to a patch for whitening composed of only a drug delivery layer containing an active ingredient. . However, in the case of the tooth whitening patch having a multi-layer structure, there has been a case where a problem that the whitening effect decreases with time has often occurred.

In order to solve this problem, a method of attaching a whitening patch after applying a separate gel agent to the tooth surface before applying the whitening patch was provided to increase the effect of the whitening patch.

However, it is common for such a gel agent to dissolve or disperse a desired efficacious substance after forming a basic viscosity with water and a polymer, and also contains a high content of alcohol instead of water for quick drying.

However, the gels of the above two compositions are not difficult to use alone, but when used together with the patch, when water is used as the main solvent, the patch slips and does not provide proper seating, making it difficult to deliver the drug to the desired site, and mainly using alcohol. When used as a solvent, it dried too quickly and dried together with the saliva of the teeth, causing a problem that it is difficult to deliver the appropriate drug because the patch is not attached to the teeth.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a gel agent that can improve the usability, ease of use and effect of the whitening patch by allowing the whitening patch for tooth attachment to be well adhered to the tooth surface.

That is, the present invention is intended to provide a composition of the most effective gel agent that can be dried at an appropriate rate when applied to a tooth.

In addition, it is intended to provide a gel agent that can obtain a tooth whitening effect more quickly and effectively.

In addition, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to use a tooth whitening kit comprising the gel as a component, while having excellent adhesion to teeth, it is easy to attach a dental patch to a tooth, and the dental patch is a patch for whitening. In this case, it is to provide a kit for whitening teeth with excellent whitening effect.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a gel composition for tooth surface adhesion for attaching a dental patch. Specifically, the gel composition for adhesion to the tooth surface is improved in adhesion to which the dental patch is attached to the surface of the tooth. It is characterized in that it is gelled by using water and ethanol as a solvent, and a polymer dissolved in both water and ethanol. To provide a gel composition for tooth adhesion.

If the water contained in the solvent exceeds the above content range, the patch may slip and not settle on the tooth surface, which may cause a problem that the drug is not properly delivered to a desired portion of the tooth surface. When the ethanol contained in the solvent exceeds the above content range, the gel composition of the present invention is dried too quickly and dried to saliva, which may cause a problem that a patch is not attached. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have confirmed the solvent ratio of the gel composition to which the patch can be attached most effectively through experiments.

<Measurement of adhesion of the kit for whitening teeth of the present invention>

After preparing the artificial dental specimen and adding water in advance, the surface is wiped off to form a wet state, and after about 1 minute of applying the gel of the same composition as Comparative Examples 1 to 2 and Example 1, the patch is attached. After applying the force for a period of time with a constant force, the force required to detach the patch was measured using a universal tester.
