Title:
COMPOSITONS AND DEVICES HAVING A TRAY-LIKE CONFIGURATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005016167
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Medicament compositions (10) are in the shape of a dental tray or tray-like configuration (12, 14, 16), optionally in combination with a protective barrier layer (18) to form a treatment device. Shaped medicament compositions (10) comprise a substantially solid medicament composition that has increased adhesiveness to teeth and/or gingiva when moistened with saliva or water. The shape of the medicament composition and/or treatment device facilitates placement of the composition of device over a person's teeth and/or gingiva with substantially less manipulation compared to the use of initially flat strips. The substantially solid medicament composition (10) becomes more adhesive when moistened with saliva or water, yet remains intact and coherent after the medicament composition is placed over a person's teeth and/or gingiva, particularly when used in combination with a moistureresistant barrier (18). The result is that the moistened medicament composition (10) is able to reliably adhere against a user's teeth and/or gingiva during a treatment procedure.
