【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、義歯床と顎堤の間の隙間に充填して、義歯のガタツキをなくし咀嚼力の低下を改善するために用いられるペーストタイプの義歯安定剤に関し、さらに詳しくは、義歯床の裏面に塗り付けて装着する際に指への付着量が少なく使用感に優れた義歯安定剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
義歯安定剤として、従来、平均重合度200〜500の低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂、平均重合度1000〜2000の中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂および平均重合度5000〜7000の高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂を、それぞれ所定の配合量で配合してなるもの(特許文献1参照)や、アクリル酸低級アルキルとメタアクリル酸低級アルキルとメタアクリル酸塩化トリメチルアンモニウムエチルとを構成成分とする三元共重合体をベースとしたもの(特許文献2参照)が提案されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
義歯安定剤は、通常、チューブ容器に収容された包装形態をとり、使用に当たりこれをチューブ容器から押出し、指を使って義歯床の裏面すなわち接触面に塗り付けて装着する。この時、義歯安定剤が指に多く付くと使用者に不快な感触を与えるので、義歯安定剤の指への付着量はできるだけ少なくすることが望まれる。
【0006】
上記特許文献に提案の義歯安定剤はいずれも、義歯床の裏面に塗り付ける際に指にかなりの量付着し、使い心地に問題があった。
【0007】
この発明は、上述のような実状に鑑み、指への義歯安定剤の付着量が少なくて使用感に優れた義歯安定剤を提供することを課題とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく研究を重ねた結果、酢酸ビニル樹脂として特定の重合度を有する3種の樹脂を組み合わせて用いると、指への義歯安定剤の付着量が少なくて不快な使用感がない義歯安定剤が得られるという知見を得、この発明を完成した。
【0009】
すなわち、この発明による義歯安定剤は、酢酸ビニル樹脂として平均重合度600〜900の低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂、平均重合度1000〜2000の中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂および平均重合度4000〜7000の高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂を主成分として含むものである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の義歯安定剤を構成する各成分および義歯安定剤の製造法について説明する。
【0011】
この発明による義歯安定剤の主成分である酢酸ビニル樹脂は、低重合度のもの、中重合度のものおよび高重合度のものの3種の酢酸ビニル樹脂からなる。低重合度の酢酸ビニル樹脂としては、平均重合度600〜900、好ましくは700〜850のものが用いられる。中重合度の酢酸ビニル樹脂としては、平均重合度1000〜2000、好ましくは1200〜1500のものが用いられる。高重合度の酢酸ビニル樹脂としては、平均重合度4000〜7000、好ましくは4500〜6500のものが用いられる。
【0012】
義歯安定剤の全体量に対する酢酸ビニル樹脂の配合量(低重合度のもの、中重合度のものおよび高重合度のものの配合量の総和)は、30〜80重量%、好ましくは40〜65.5重量%である。酢酸ビニル樹脂の配合量が少なすぎると、指への付着量が増加し、良好な使用感が得られず、多すぎると、義歯安定剤が固くなり、チューブ容器から押出しにくく、義歯への塗布が容易にできない。
【0013】
酢酸ビニル樹脂として低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂、中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂、高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂のそれぞれの配合割合は、300〜600:300〜600:1〜8、好ましくは200〜250:200〜250:1〜3である。低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂及び中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂の各配合割合が低すぎると、義歯安定剤が固くなり、チューブ容器から押出しにくく、義歯への塗布が容易にできない。低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂及び中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂の各配合割合が高すぎると、指への付着量が増加し、良好な使用感が得られない上に、義歯安定剤が曳糸性を示し、取扱いが難しくなる。高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂の配合割合が低すぎると、指への付着量が増加し、良好な使用感が得られず、高すぎると、義歯安定剤が固くなり、チューブ容器から押出しにくく、義歯への塗布が容易にできない。
【0014】
上記配合量および配合割合が上述した各範囲内にある場合は、指への義歯安定剤の付着量が少なくて不快な使用感がない。
【0015】
この発明による義歯安定剤の粘度は300000〜900000センチポイズ、好ましくは400000〜800000センチポイズである。義歯安定剤の粘度が低すぎると、指への付着量が増加し、良好な使用感が得られず、高すぎると、義歯安定剤が固くなり、チューブ容器から押出しにくく、義歯への塗布が容易にできない。義歯安定剤の粘度が上記範囲にある場合、使用感が良好である上に、チューブ容器からの義歯安定剤の押出しがスムーズになし得る。
【0016】
この発明による義歯安定剤は、アクリル酸低級アルキルとメタアクリル酸低級アルキルとメタアクリル酸塩化トリメチルアンモニウムエチルとを構成成分とする三元共重合体(以下、これを単に「三元共重合体」という)を含んでいてもよい。
【0017】
三元共重合体における低級アルキルは、メチル、エチル、プロピル、ブチル等の炭素数1〜6のアルキルを示す。特に好ましい三元共重合体はアクリル酸エチルとメタアクリル酸メチルと比較的少量のメタアクリル酸塩化トリメチルアンモニウムエチルとからなるものである。この好ましい三元共重合体としては、ローム・ファルマ(Rohm Pharma)社から「オイドラギット(Eudragit) RS」の登録商標で市販されている分子量約150,000のランダム共重合体を挙げることができる(以下、この市販品を「市販三元共重合体」という)。ただし、この発明で用いられる三元共重合体は市販三元共重合体に限定されない。
【0018】
三元共重合体はこの発明による義歯安定剤の助剤として、すなわち、義歯安定剤を義歯床の接触面から剥し易くする成分として作用し、また口腔粘膜の調整剤としても有用である。
【0019】
なお、酢酸ビニル樹脂は食品添加物としてチューインガム基礎剤などに使用されており、三元共重合体は医薬の結合剤、コーティング剤等に使用されており、いずれも安全性に問題はない。
【0020】
この発明による義歯安定剤には、上記酢酸ビニル樹脂および三元共重合体の外に、義歯安定剤に所望の性状を与えるために可塑剤、乳化剤、粘度調整剤、剥離向上剤、水不溶性粉体、湿潤剤、防腐剤、金属石けん、香料、着色料、歯垢分解酵素など公知の添加剤をこの発明の効果を損なわない限りにおいて、適宜配合してもよい。
【0021】
可塑剤としては、ミツロウ、木ロウ、カルナウバロウ、キャンデリラワックスが例示される。
【0022】
乳化剤としては、グリセリンモノステアレートのようなグリセリンの脂肪酸エステル、ソルビタンモノステアレートのようなソルビタンの脂肪酸エステルが例示される。
【0023】
粘度調整剤は義歯安定剤の粘度を調整するもので、エタノール好ましくは無水エタノール、水がそれぞれ通常10〜25重量%配合され、場合によってはグリセリン、プロピレングリコール等が併用される。エタノールの配合量が少なすぎると、酢酸ビニル樹脂を溶解することができなくなるため、同樹脂を均一に混練することができず、多すぎると指への付着量が増加し、良好な使用感が得られない。水の配合量が少なすぎると、指への付着量が増加し、良好な使用感が得られず、多すぎると、義歯安定剤が固くなり、チューブ容器から押出しにくく、義歯への塗布が容易にできない。
【0024】
剥離向上剤は、義歯の使用後に義歯安定剤を義歯床の接触面から剥し易くするもので、ポリブテン、ポリイソブチレン、炭酸カルシウム、リン酸カルシウム、ベントナイト、二酸化ケイ素等が例示される。
【0025】
水不溶性粉体としては、炭酸カルシウム、リン酸カルシウム、プラスチックパウダー、タルク、シリカ等が例示される。
【0026】
湿潤剤としては、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコール、グリセリン、ソルビット等が例示される。
【0027】
防腐剤としては、メチルパラベン、エチルパラベンが例示される。
【0028】
金属石けんとしては、ステアリン酸カルシウムが例示される。
【0029】
この発明による義歯安定剤を製造するには、例えば高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂が溶解しにくいため予めこれを無水エタノール/精製水の混合液に溶解しておき、別途、三元共重合体を無水エタノール/精製水の混合液に溶解する。こうして得られた高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂の溶液と三元共重合体の溶液を、中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂と低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂が入れてあるタンクに添加して、全体を攪拌する方法が挙げられる。
【0030】
また、予め、ステンレスビーカーに高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂を入れ、これに精製水を加えて、樹脂を水に分散させておく。予製タンクに無水エタノールを入れておき、さらに上記高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂分散液と三元共重合体を加えて撹拌し、高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂と三元共重合体を無水エタノール/精製水に溶解させる。別途、本タンクに中重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂と低重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂を入れ、ここへ少量の精製水を加え、本タンク内を減圧状態に保っておく。ついで、本タンクに上記高重合度酢酸ビニル樹脂と三元共重合体の溶液を流し込み、全体を攪拌する方法なども挙げられる。
【0031】
一般に義歯安定剤には、次に掲げるような性質を有することが求められている。すなわち、(a)容器からの取り出しが容易な柔軟性を有すること(チューブ容器から押出し易いこと)、(b)無味、無臭、無害であり、口腔粘膜への刺激がないこと、(c)義歯への塗布が容易なこと、(d)適度のクッション効果を有し、使用感が良好なこと、(e)義歯への適度な粘着力あるいは固着力を有し、長時間使用可能なこと、(f)使用後に義歯床からの剥離が容易なこと。この発明による義歯安定剤は上記のような要件をすべて満たすものである。
【0032】

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The denture stabilizer is usually packaged in a tube container. In use, the denture stabilizer is extruded from the tube container and applied to the back surface of the denture base, that is, the contact surface, using a finger. At this time, if a large amount of denture stabilizer is applied to the finger, the user feels uncomfortable, so it is desirable to reduce the amount of denture stabilizer attached to the finger as much as possible.
[0006]
All of the denture stabilizers proposed in the above-mentioned patent documents have a considerable amount of adhesion to the fingers when applied to the back surface of the denture base, and there is a problem in the usability.
[0007]
This invention makes it a subject to provide the denture stabilizer excellent in the usability | use_conditions with few adhesion amounts of the denture stabilizer to a finger | toe in view of the above actual conditions.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of repeated researches to solve the above problems, the present inventors use a combination of three kinds of resins having a specific polymerization degree as a vinyl acetate resin, so that the amount of denture stabilizer attached to the finger is small. The present invention was completed by obtaining the knowledge that a denture stabilizer without an unpleasant feeling of use can be obtained.
[0009]
That is, the denture stabilizer according to the present invention comprises a low degree of polymerization vinyl acetate resin having an average degree of polymerization of 600 to 900, a medium degree of polymerization vinyl acetate resin having an average degree of polymerization of 1000 to 2000, and a high degree of polymerization of 4000 to 7000. A polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin is included as a main component.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, each component which comprises the denture stabilizer of this invention and the manufacturing method of a denture stabilizer are demonstrated.
[0011]
The vinyl acetate resin which is the main component of the denture stabilizer according to the present invention comprises three types of vinyl acetate resins having a low polymerization degree, a medium polymerization degree and a high polymerization degree. As the vinyl acetate resin having a low polymerization degree, those having an average polymerization degree of 600 to 900, preferably 700 to 850 are used. As the vinyl acetate resin having a medium polymerization degree, those having an average polymerization degree of 1000 to 2000, preferably 1200 to 1500 are used. As the vinyl acetate resin having a high degree of polymerization, those having an average degree of polymerization of 4000 to 7000, preferably 4500 to 6500 are used.
[0012]
The blending amount of vinyl acetate resin relative to the total amount of denture stabilizer (the total blending amount of low polymerization, medium polymerization and high polymerization) is 30 to 80% by weight, preferably 40 to 65. 5% by weight. If the amount of vinyl acetate resin is too small, the amount of adhesion to the finger will increase, and a good feeling of use will not be obtained. If it is too much, the denture stabilizer will become hard and difficult to extrude from the tube container, and it will be applied to the denture. Can not be easily.
[0013]
As the vinyl acetate resin, the blending ratios of the low polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin, medium polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin and high polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin are 300 to 600: 300 to 600: 1 to 8, preferably 200 to 250: 200. ~ 250: 1-3. If the blending ratios of the low polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin and the medium polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin are too low, the denture stabilizer becomes hard, it is difficult to extrude from the tube container, and application to the denture is not easy. If the blending ratios of the low-polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin and the medium-polymerization degree vinyl acetate resin are too high, the amount of adhesion to the finger will increase and a good feeling of use will not be obtained. Showing and difficult to handle. If the blending ratio of the high degree of polymerization vinyl acetate resin is too low, the amount of adhesion to the finger will increase, and a good feeling of use will not be obtained, and if it is too high, the denture stabilizer will become hard and difficult to extrude from the tube container. Cannot be applied easily.
[0014]
When the blending amount and blending ratio are within the ranges described above, the amount of denture stabilizer attached to the finger is small and there is no unpleasant feeling of use.
[0015]
The viscosity of the denture stabilizer according to the present invention is 300000 to 900000 centipoise, preferably 400000 to 800000 centipoise. If the viscosity of the denture stabilizer is too low, the amount of adhesion to the finger will increase, and a good feeling of use will not be obtained.If the viscosity is too high, the denture stabilizer will become hard, difficult to extrude from the tube container, and will not be applied to the denture. Can't be easy. When the viscosity of the denture stabilizer is in the above range, the feeling of use is good and the denture stabilizer can be smoothly extruded from the tube container.
[0016]
The denture stabilizer according to the present invention is a ternary copolymer (hereinafter referred to simply as “ternary copolymer”) comprising lower alkyl acrylate, lower alkyl methacrylate and trimethylammonium methacrylate. May be included).
[0017]
Lower alkyl in the ternary copolymer represents alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and the like. Particularly preferred terpolymers are those composed of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and a relatively small amount of trimethylammonium methacrylate. As this preferable terpolymer, there can be mentioned a random copolymer having a molecular weight of about 150,000, which is commercially available from Rohm Pharma under the registered trademark “Eudragit RS” ( Hereinafter, this commercial product is referred to as “commercially available terpolymer”). However, the ternary copolymer used in the present invention is not limited to a commercially available ternary copolymer.
[0018]
The ternary copolymer acts as an auxiliary agent for the denture stabilizer according to the present invention, that is, acts as a component that facilitates peeling of the denture stabilizer from the contact surface of the denture base, and is also useful as a preparation for the oral mucosa.
[0019]
Vinyl acetate resin is used as a food additive in chewing gum bases and the like, and terpolymers are used in pharmaceutical binders, coating agents, etc., and there are no safety problems.
[0020]
In addition to the vinyl acetate resin and the terpolymer, the denture stabilizer according to the present invention includes a plasticizer, an emulsifier, a viscosity modifier, a peeling improver, a water-insoluble powder, in order to give the denture stabilizer the desired properties. Known additives such as body, wetting agent, preservative, metal soap, fragrance, colorant, and plaque-degrading enzyme may be appropriately added as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.
[0021]
Examples of the plasticizer include beeswax, wood wax, carnauba wax, and candelilla wax.
[0022]
Examples of the emulsifier include glycerin fatty acid esters such as glycerin monostearate and sorbitan fatty acid esters such as sorbitan monostearate.
[0023]
The viscosity modifier is used to adjust the viscosity of the denture stabilizer, and ethanol, preferably absolute ethanol and water are each usually added in an amount of 10 to 25% by weight, and glycerin, propylene glycol and the like are used in some cases. If the blending amount of ethanol is too small, the vinyl acetate resin cannot be dissolved, so that the resin cannot be uniformly kneaded. I can't get it. If the amount of water is too small, the amount of adhesion to the finger will increase and a good feeling of use will not be obtained. If it is too large, the denture stabilizer will become hard, difficult to extrude from the tube container, and easy to apply to the denture. I can't.
[0024]

[0034]
Separately, 3.5 g of a commercially available terpolymer, that is, “Eudragit RS” manufactured by Rohm Pharma Co., is added to 17.2 g of a mixed solution of absolute ethanol and purified water, and stirred with a disper at a rotation speed of 1500 rpm for about 1 hour. A commercially available ternary copolymer was dissolved in the mixed solution.
[0035]
A tank containing 32.68 g of a vinyl acetate resin having a polymerization degree of 1380 and 32.68 g of a vinyl acetate resin having a polymerization degree of 780 is charged with 3.5 g of purified water in advance, and the high polymerization degree acetic acid previously prepared in the tank. A vinyl resin solution and a commercially available ternary copolymer solution were added, and the whole was degassed under reduced pressure, and stirred for 45 minutes at a temperature of 50 ° C. at a rotation speed of 11 rpm with a planetary mixer. The denture stabilizer thus obtained was filled into a tube container. The viscosity of the denture stabilizer was 450,000 centipoise.
[0036]
Example 2
Example 1 except that the blending amounts of a vinyl acetate resin with a polymerization degree of 5500, a vinyl acetate resin with a polymerization degree of 1380 and a vinyl acetate resin with a polymerization degree of 780 were changed to 0.26 g, 32.62 g and 32.62 g, respectively. The operation was performed to obtain a denture stabilizer. The viscosity of the denture stabilizer was 750000 centipoise.
[0037]
Comparative Example 1
A denture stabilizer was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 32.68 g of a vinyl acetate resin having a polymerization degree of 330 was used instead of the vinyl acetate resin having a polymerization degree of 780. The viscosity of the denture stabilizer was 410000 centipoise.
[0038]
Comparative Example 2
3.5 g of a commercially available ternary copolymer was added to 31 g of a mixed solution of absolute ethanol and purified water, and the mixture was stirred with a disper at a rotation speed of 1500 rpm for about 1 hour to dissolve the commercially available ternary copolymer in the mixed solution.
[0039]
The obtained commercially available ternary copolymer solution was added to 65.5 g of a vinyl acetate resin having a polymerization degree of 1200, and the whole was degassed under reduced pressure while rotating at 11 rpm with a planetary mixer at a temperature of 50 ° C.

Usability test For the denture stabilizers obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples, the usability was evaluated by the following two methods a) and b).
[0043]
a) Measurement of adhesion amount The adhesion amount of the denture stabilizer to the finger was determined by the following method.
[0044]
(1) First, 1 g of denture stabilizer was placed on an acrylic resin plate having a known weight.
[0045]
(2) The tester's finger was thoroughly degreased with ethanol, and the finger was thoroughly wiped with a wiper (trade name “Kimwipe”, manufactured by Crecia) to make it dry.
[0046]
(3) This finger was pressed to the denture stabilizer on the acrylic resin plate for 10 seconds up to the first joint. At this time, the pressure applied to the finger was such that the finger was in contact with the acrylic resin plate.
[0047]
(4) Ten seconds later, the finger was released vertically from the acrylic resin plate.
[0048]
(5) The weight of the acrylic resin plate was measured to determine the weight of the denture stabilizer attached to the finger.
[0049]
The obtained results are shown in FIG.
[0050]
As is clear from FIG. 1, it can be seen that the denture stabilizers of the examples are less likely to stick to the fingers than those of the comparative examples, and thus the feeling of use is improved.
[0051]
b) Sensory test of feeling of use Tens of panel members evaluated the feeling of use of the denture stabilizer by the following method.
[0052]
(1) First, the fingers of each panel member were thoroughly degreased with ethanol, and the fingers were thoroughly wiped with a wiper (trade name “Kimwipe”, manufactured by Crecia) to be in a dry state.
[0053]
(2) About 0.5 g of denture stabilizer is pressed between the tip of the thumb and forefinger to the first joint, and from the difficulty to the attachment of the denture stabilizer to the finger is shown by the following evaluation points. The sum of the products of the evaluation points and the number of people was obtained.
