US Patent:

6496998, Dec 24, 2002

Filed:

Mar 26, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/816190

Inventors:

Francis Xavier Moran - West Somerville MA 02144

Assignee:

Francis Xavier Moran - Somerville MA

International Classification:

A46B 904

US Classification:

15105, 151671, 604 20

Abstract:

The present invention is used to obtund tooth decay and periodontal lesions by obstructing the proton motive force that exists in bacteria. The result is that glycolysis, DNA synthesis and chelation is upset and this will cause bacteria to dissolute logrithmically. The invention is also used to harden and remineralize enamel and dentin by using fluoride compounds available in over-the-counter dental cleansers. The invention takes into consideration the vector magnitude of the hydration layer between the enamel and the pellicle plaque layer of teeth which insulates the teeth from the electrical potentials of electrophoresis. The claim that electrical potentials can be placed on teeth does not take this physico-chemical phenomenon into consideration. This invention uses the proper voltage to produce ionization of molecules in a salivary slurry of gels, dentrifices and rinses.
