Method of simultaneously cleaning and whitening teeth

Abstract

A method for simultaneously cleaning and whitening teeth comprising the steps of: applying a conditioning composition to the teeth surface, applying an oxidizing composition to the teeth surface, applying a sealant composition to the teeth surface, cleaning the teeth surface, polishing the teeth surface and removing the condition compositions from the teeth.

1 . A method for simultaneously cleaning and whitening teeth comprising the steps of:
 applying a conditioning composition to the teeth surface;   applying an oxidizing composition to said teeth surface;   applying a sealant composition to said teeth surface;   cleaning said teeth surface;   polishing said teeth surface; and   removing said condition composition, said oxidizing composition and said sealant composition.   
     
     
         2 . A method for simultaneously cleaning and whitening teeth comprising the steps of:
 applying a composition to the teeth surface;   wherein said composition is comprised of at least a fluid carrier, a tooth conditioner, an oxidizing agent and a water-resistant polymer.   cleaning said teeth surface;   polishing said teeth surface; and   removing said composition.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said conditioning composition is comprised of a fluid carrier and at least one tooth conditioner. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claims 2  wherein said tooth conditioner is comprised from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, EDTA, phytic acid, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1′-diphosphonic acid and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said oxidizing composition is comprised of a fluid carrier and at least one oxidizing agent. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claims 2  wherein said oxidizing agent is comprised from the group consisting of peroxides, metal chlorites, percarbonates, perborates, perxyacids, hypochlorites and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 3  wherein said fluid carrier is comprised from the group consisting of water, ethanol, diethyl ether, methoxypropane, dimethyl isosorbide and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said sealant composition is comprised of a fluid carrier and at least one water resistant polymer. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said fluid carrier has an evaporation rate equal to or greater than water. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said water resistant polymer is comprised from the group consisting of acrylate polymers, methacrylate polymers, modified cellulosic polymers,
 silicone polymers, urethane polymers, polyamide polymers, vinyl polymers, vinyl pyrrolidone polymers, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid polymers and combinations thereof. 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said sealant composition is curable. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of applying an external energy source. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said external energy source is comprised of the group consisting of electromagnetic, light, sound, ultrasound, mechanical, vibration, electrical or combinations thereof.
