2. Description of the Related Art Denture stabilizers are used to supplement the compatibility with gums due to aging factors when using full or partial dentures. At present, denture stabilizers using powder, non-aqueous paste or synthetic resin are used. Among them, denture stabilizers using synthetic resins are widely used because of their excellent feel and functionality. However, even such a denture stabilizer has drawbacks that it is difficult to take it out of the container at low temperature, the coating property to the denture base is poor, and the peelability from the denture base after use is poor. In order to improve these drawbacks, a vinyl acetate resin having a high degree of polymerization is blended (Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-21123, Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-9018), and a water-soluble polymer is blended (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei. Japanese Patent No. 65210) has been proposed, but its effect is still insufficient.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a denture stabilizer which is easy to take out from a container, has good coatability on the denture base, and has good releasability from the denture base.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that a paste-like denture stabilizer based on vinyl acetate resin, and a polyolefin containing mineral oil, By mixing a gel-like substance obtained by mixing and dissolving with at least one selected from squalane, polybutene and anhydrous lanolin, it is easy to take out from the container, the coating property on the denture base is good, and the peeling property from the denture base is excellent. It was found that a denture stabilizer was obtained, and the present invention was completed. Therefore, the present invention is a paste-like denture stabilizer based on vinyl acetate resin, wherein a gel-like substance obtained by mixing and dissolving polyolefin with at least one selected from mineral oil, squalane, polybutene and anhydrous lanolin is It is a denture stabilizer characterized by being compounded.

As the vinyl acetate resin used in the present invention, those conventionally used for denture stabilizers can be used. Generally, they are classified as low degree of polymerization vinyl acetate resin, medium degree of polymerization vinyl acetate resin, high degree of polymerization vinyl acetate resin, and used alone or in combination of these vinyl acetate resins having different degrees of polymerization as appropriate. You can The blending amount of the vinyl acetate resin in the denture stabilizer of the present invention may be a commonly used blending amount, and is appropriately 30 to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the denture stabilizer, and further 40 to 70%. Weight percent is preferred. If it exceeds 80% by weight, the ease of ejection from the container and the coatability on the denture base will decrease, and if it is less than 30% by weight, the cushioning effect will decrease.
It cannot be used as a denture stabilizer.

The pasty denture stabilizer of the present invention further comprises
It includes a gel-like substance obtained by mixing and dissolving a polyolefin with at least one selected from mineral oil, squalane, polybutene and anhydrous lanolin. This gel-like substance usually has a viscosity of 10 to 10 million cps at room temperature. Hereinafter, this substance is referred to as a gel substance in the present specification. Examples of the polyolefin that is a component of the gel-like substance include polyethylene and polypropylene, and polyethylene is particularly preferable. As a component to be mixed with such a polyolefin, mineral oil can be mentioned first, and examples thereof include liquid paraffin and vaseline.

A gel-like substance can be obtained by adding a polyolefin to at least one selected from mineral oil, squalane, polybutene and anhydrous lanolin, mixing them and heating and dissolving them. The amount of the polyolefin added is appropriately 0.1 to 10.0% by weight, and preferably 0.3 to 5.0% by weight, based on the solvent selected from mineral oil, squalane, polybutene and anhydrous lanolin. If the amount of the polyolefin added exceeds 10.0% by weight, the ease with which it is taken out from the container decreases, and if it is less than 0.1% by weight, the oil component tends to separate. The above gel-like substance can be obtained as a commercial product, for example, a plastic base (trade name, Bristol-Myers
Squib) is known. In the present invention, such a market product can be used. The content of the gel-like substance in the denture stability of the present invention can be varied depending on the content of the vinyl acetate resin, but is generally 5 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the denture stabilizer, and 5
-30% by weight, more preferably 10-20% by weight. If the added amount of the gel-like substance exceeds 50% by weight, the cushioning effect will be reduced and the purpose of use as a denture stabilizer cannot be fulfilled. If it is less than 5% by weight, the desired effect cannot be achieved sufficiently. Specific examples of the denture stabilizer of the present invention
In general, the amount of the gel material is 10 to 20% by weight.

The denture stabilizer of the present invention may be further added with commonly used additives in a usual amount.
For example, fats and waxes such as beeswax and candelilla wax, glycerin, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, sorbitol liquid, 0.1-1.0% by weight of a wetting agent such as 1,3-butylene glycol, monoglycerin fatty acid ester , Polyglycerin fatty acid ester,
Emulsifiers such as sorbitan fatty acid ester 0.5 to 10.0% by weight, calcium carbonate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, silicic acid anhydride, hydroxyapatite, cellulose powder and the like powder 0.5 to 15.0% by weight, water In addition, a solvent such as ethanol may be added in an amount of 10.0 to 35.0 wt. The denture stabilizer of the present invention can be produced according to a conventional method using the above components. Further, the container for filling the denture stabilizer of the present invention is not particularly limited, and an aluminum tube, a laminate tube, a plastic tube or the like which can be usually used can be used. The denture stabilizer of the present invention can be used by applying an appropriate amount to the denture base.
