METHOD OF TREATING PERIODONTITIS AND OF REDUCING DENTINAL SENSITIVITY

摘要

creating a formulation containing a lanthanide-containing protease inhibitor; and applying the formulation to a periodontal area. The lanthanide may be cerium chloride, samarium chloride, lutetium chloride, cerium chloride heptahydrate, lutetium chloride hexahydrate, samarium chloride hexa-hydrate, gadolinium, gadolinium nitrate, gadolinium chloride, gadolinium chloride hexahydrate and gadolinium nitrate hexahydrate. The invention also provides an improved method of reducing dentinal sensitivity, including the steps of
