摘要:
The composition and method for the use of stabilized chlorine dioxide as an antimicrobial agent against oral microorganisms for the treatment and prevention of halitosis and prevention of oral diseases, wherein the activation and release of chlorine dioxide from the composition a) occurs rapidly and without a period of induction, b) results from the oxidative reduction and consumption of amino acids and volatile sulfur compound precursors, and c) generates twice the available chlorine dioxide gas as that generated from simply lowering the pH of the composition. The preferred concentrations of stabilized chlorine dioxide in this invention are in the range of 0.005% to 2.0% (w/v) wherein the pH of the composition is initially lowered by a citrate and then stabilized by a peroxy compound.
