Abstract

The invention relates to a dental composition and methods of use of the dental composition. More specifically, the invention relates to a dental composition for an animal wherein the composition comprises algae. The invention also relates to methods of use of the dental composition comprising algae, including methods of reduction of plaque on at least one tooth of an animal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for reducing plaque on at least one tooth of an animal, the method comprising the step of causing the at least one tooth of the animal to be contacted with a composition comprising green algae wherein the composition comprising the green algae reduces the plaque on the at least one tooth of the animal. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae are in a form selected from the group consisting of a paste, a gel, a nugget, a pellet, a powder, and a liquid. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae are freeze-dried and are capable of being reconstituted. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae are a component of a product selected from the group consisting of an animal treat, a dressing for an animal food, an additive for water, and a component of a chew product. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae are genetically modified. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae composition further comprises an antimicrobial. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae composition further comprises a plaque-reducing agent. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae are  Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.    
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the algae are selected from the group consisting of live algae, dead algae, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the animal is a domestic animal. 
     
     
         11 . A composition comprising green algae wherein the green algae composition is adapted for contact with at least one tooth of an animal. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae are in a form selected from the group consisting of a paste, a gel, a nugget, a pellet, a powder, and a liquid. 
     
     
         13 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae are freeze-dried and are capable of being reconstituted. 
     
     
         14 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae are a component of a product selected from the group consisting of an animal treat, a dressing for an animal food, an additive for water, and a component of a chew product. 
     
     
         15 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae are genetically modified. 
     
     
         16 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae composition further comprises an antimicrobial. 
     
     
         17 . The composition of  claim 11  further comprising a plaque-reducing agent. 
     
     
         18 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae are  Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.    
     
     
         19 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the algae are selected from the group consisting of live algae, dead algae, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The composition of  claim 11  in the form of a kit.
