A new composition for treating periodontal disease by means of a therapeutic agent delivery device placed within the periodontal pocket so that release of the therapeutic agents occurs in the immediate vicinity of the disease process, without that a release adjusting agent or adhesive agent is present so that biocompatibility or allergic problems cannot arise. A slow release of a therapeutic agent is obtained as well as a mechanical protection on the wounds and a barrier to bacteria. The a composition comprises a therapeutic agent in a biocompatible polymeric material. The therapeutic agent is soluble both in water and in alcohol and the biocompatible polymeric material is a liquid methacrylate copolymer chosen among EUDRAGIT RL or EUDRAGIT RS or a mixture thereof. The polymers are provided as a liquid in an alcoholic suspension, preferably about 95%. When the polymer is spread on a surface, the alcohol evaporates and the polymer forms a polymeric film on that surface. When water present in the mouth tissues permeates through the material, the therapeutic agent is released. By proper selection of the two polymeric material EUDRAGIT RS and RL, a precise release rate is obtained. In fact, by varying the ratio RS/RL the hydrophilic property varies accordingly. In particular, if RL is increased, the release rate of the therapeutic agent is increased.
一种用于治疗牙周病的新型组合物,通过将治疗剂输送装置放置在牙周袋内,使治疗剂在疾病过程附近释放,同时不需要释放调节剂或粘合剂,因此不会出现生物相容性或过敏问题。这样既能实现治疗剂的缓慢释放,又能为伤口提供机械保护并阻隔细菌。该组合物由生物相容性聚合物材料中的治疗剂组成。治疗剂可溶于水和酒精,生物相容性聚合物材料是一种液态甲基丙烯酸酯共聚物,可从 EUDRAGIT RL 或 EUDRAGIT RS 或它们的混合物中选择。聚合物以酒精悬浮液的形式提供,浓度最好在 95% 左右。当聚合物涂抹在表面上时,酒精蒸发,聚合物在表面上形成一层聚合物薄膜。当口腔组织中的水分渗透过该材料时,治疗剂就会释放出来。通过适当选择 EUDRAGIT RS 和 RL 这两种聚合物材料,可以获得精确的释放率。事实上,通过改变 RS/RL 的比例,亲水性能也会相应变化。特别是,如果 RL 增加,治疗剂的释放率也会增加。
