International Classification:

C12Q 137
C12Q 104
C12Q 106
G01N 33579

US Classification:

435 23

Abstract:

The present invention concerns a method of quantitatively determining the amount of bacterial endotoxin present in a periodontal pocket of a subject. The method comprises: a) obtaining a sample from the periodontal pocket of the subject; b) contacting the sample with an amebocyte lysate under conditions so as to activate an enzyme capable of cleaving a bond between an arginyl group and a nitrogen-containing group; c) contacting the activated enzyme with a substrate comprising an arginyl group and a suitable nitrogen-containing group bound to the arginyl group so as to form an amine; d) treating the resulting amine to produce a detectable product; and e) quantitatively determining the amount of product formed and thereby the amount of bacterial endotoxins present in the periodontal pocket. The invention also provides a method of diagnosing a periodontal disease which comprises quantitatively determining the amount of bacterial endotoxins present in a periodontal pocket of a subject by the method of the present invention and correlating the amount so determined with known periodontal disease-causing amounts of endotoxin.

International Classification:

A61K 716
A61K 31375
A61K 3334

US Classification:

424 49

Abstract:

The present invention provides a gel composition useful for the prevention or treatment of gingivitis, periodontal disease, and dental plaque which comprises ascorbic acid, copper sulfate, and essentially no added oxidizing agent, in concentrations sufficient for the prevention or treatment of gingivitis, periodontal disease, and dental plaque; and a gel carrier. The invention also provides a method for the prevention or treatment of gingivitis, periodontal disease, and dental plaque in the oral cavity of a subject which comprises applying for an effective period of time within the oral cavity of a subject an amount of the gel composition effective to prevent or treat gingivitis, periodontal disease, and dental plaque.
