This application is a Patent of Addition for the previously filed Application Number 201641039065 filed on 16/11/2016 Titled COMPOSITE HERBAL FORMULATION FOR ORAL CARE.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of composition for external application for oral care. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to the use of therapeutically formulated herbal dentifrice.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Oral pharmaceutical compositions serve dual purpose of cosmetic use and therapeutic effect. The compositions intended for oral hygiene are formulated to cater to oral health like plaque, tartar, gingivitis, bleeding gums, premature loss of tooth, chipping of tooth enamel etc. Formulations comprising of chemicals and synthetic products have long been found to have adverse effect. Traditional medicinal systems like Ayurveda and Unani have been promoting the use of herbal ingredients in formulations. These ingredients are preferably plant extracts which are obtained from various parts of the medicinal plants. For example: the clove oil obtained from clove is the bud of the plant, mint is a leaf, neem twigs have been used as a natural tooth brush etc.

[0003] The nature of herbal ingredients utilised for oral hygiene purposes have been limited. There stand many of the ingredients available in the nature whose therapeutic and cosmetic effects need to be harnessed.

[0004] In the light of aforementioned discussion there exists a need to explicitly harness the use of berries, fruits and other special herbal ingredients for dental therapy and cosmetic purposes.

[00027] Referring FIG. 1 is a flow diagram 100, illustrating a method employed for the preparation of a composite herbal formulation by the addition of Salvadora persica for oral care, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method involves both dry phase and aqueous phase which are subjected to step by step procedures to obtain the requisite composite herbal formulation for oral care. The method starts at step 102, where the presifted Calcium Carbonate, Xanthan Gum, and sodium silicate are passed them through sieve #40. The presifted Calcium Carbonate, Xanthan Gum, and sodium silicate are placed in a high shear mixer with a vacuum provision and a capacity not limiting to 5000ml step 104. The process at step 104 was carried out at not limiting to 60% of relative humidity (RH) and at a temperature of not limiting to 20°C -25°C. The principle of geometrical dilution may be applied during the addition and mixing of the components. Further, at step 106 predetermined quantities sorbitol was added to water preferably in a stainless steel container not limiting to 2000 ml capacity to form an aqueous mixture. Placing the aqueous mixture in a water batch to increase the temperature to 50°C -60 °C is done at step 108. Pre-determined quantity of colorant (chlorophyll) is dissolved in a pre-determined quantity of glycerin and the mixture of chlorophyll dissolved in glycerin is added to the aqueous mixture at step 110. Pre-determined quantities of aerosil sifted through a mesh # 80, Sodium Saccharin and Sodium mono fluoro phosphate and Coca amido propyl betaine were added to the aqueous solution with continuous stirring using propeller type agitator not limiting to 30 minutes to form a homogenous aqueous dispersion at step 112. Pre-determined quantities of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate were added to aqueous homogenous dispersion at step 114. Adding the homogenous aqueous dispersion to the dry sifted components into a planetary mixer for not limiting to 15 minutes to form a wet mass at step 116. At step 118, the wet mass obtained is subjected to an agitation speed of 100rpm for 60 min under vacuum to prevent the formation of foam. The deaerated basil oil (Oscimum Bascillicum), clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum), Unnab (Ziziphus mauritiana), Zaitoon (Olea europaea), and extract of Neem (Azardirachta Indica) and Salvadora persica were added to the wet mass obtained at step 116 by continuous agitation for not limiting to 60 minutes to form a homogenous mass at step 120. Adequate controls may be kept in assessing the homogeneity of mass for the herbal components. Further, at step 122, a pre-determined quantity of Mentha Longifolia (Nana-al –Fulfuli) was added to the wet mass obtained at step 120 into a planetary mixer. Finally, mixing the contents of step 122 for 30 minutes at 100rpm under vacuum to obtain the requisite composite herbal formulation for oral care at step 124.

[00028] Although the present disclosure has been described in terms of certain preferred embodiments and illustrations thereof, other embodiments and modifications to preferred embodiments may be possible that are within the principles and spirit of the invention. The above descriptions and figures are therefore to be regarded as illustrative and not restrictive.

[00029] Thus the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims and includes both combinations and sub combinations of the various features described herein above as well as variations and modifications thereof, which would occur to persons skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description.
