Abstract:
1. An oral treatment composition associated with a dental tray comprising: an orally administrable matrix including a carrier, an active agent, a processing aid, and a silicon dioxide, said orally administrable matrix in the form of a bead; a dental tray, said bead of orally administrable matrix disposed in the dental tray; wherein said matrix forms a tacky, spreadable gel having a viscosity of between about 4,000 Pa·s and about 2,000 Pa·s; wherein said active agent is hydrogen peroxide that functions as a whitening agent; wherein the orally administrable matrix is substantially free of hydrophilic polymers, including being substantially free of polyvinyl pyrrolidone; wherein the orally administrable matrix includes about 5% to about 40% water by weight of the oral treatment composition; wherein said silicon dioxide is present in a range from 4% to 10% by weight of the oral treatment composition; wherein said bead is adapted for application to a dental arch of a subject by application of the dental tray containing the bead to the dental arch of the subject; wherein said viscosity enables the active agent of said orally administrable matrix to be maintained in close proximity to surfaces and interproximal spaces between adjacent teeth of the subject.
