This patent deals with a chewing gum which possesses fluoride and citric acid for improved dental health. The incorporation of fluoride and citric acid into our gum product is for the citric acid to provide a means by which fluoride can be absorbed into the tooth structure. The mechanism of action of this product is the following: citric acid is incorporated in this chewing gum to microscopically open up the pores (prism layers) of the enamel tooth structure. This opening of the pores, at the tooth surface, enables greater contact and penetration of the fluoride to be absorbed into the enamel. The resultant effect is greater penetration of fluoride into the enamel and the underlying tooth structure (dentine). In addition to facilitating the penetration of fluoride into the tooth, there would be an added benefit from the dietary content of the citrus fuits. Moreover, this gum includes novel organoleptic properties as a result of natural sugars, together with enhanced flavor, for sweetness impact.

Ce brevet d'invention se rapporte à un chewing-gum contenant du fluorure et de l'acide nitrique qui permettent d'améliorer la santé dentaire. L'incorporation du fluorure et de l'acide citrique dans la gomme crée une réaction grâce à laquelle le fluorure peut être absorbé dans la structure dentaire. Le mécanisme d'action de ce produit est le suivant: l'acide citrique est incorporé dans ce chewing-gum afin de provoquer l'ouverture microscopique des pores (couches prismatiques) de la structure dentaire en émail. Cette ouverture de pores, à la surface des dents, permet au fluorure devant être absorbé dans l'émail de mieux venir en contact avec celui-ci et de mieux le pénétrer. Cela se traduit par une pénétration plus importante de fluorure dans l'émail et dans la structure dentaire sous-jacente (dentine). Non seulement cela facilite la pénétration du fluorure dans les dents, mais la teneur alimentaire des agrumes a également un effet favorable sur la structure en émail des dents. De plus, la gomme possède des propriétés organoleptiques grâce aux sucres naturels, ce qui lui confère un meilleur arôme ainsi qu'un impact sur le goût sucré.
