Scope and claims summary:

United States Patent 9320710: "Compositions and methods for reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the oral mucosa" (filed: 2008, granted: 2016) is a notable patent granted to Dr. Gerald M. Bilkis, a renowned periodontist.

This patent focuses on addressing a prevalent issue in periodontology – inflammation and tissue damage within the oral mucosa, often resulting from gum disease, mouth trauma, or as a side effect of medical treatments. The patented composition aims to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and regenerate the oral mucosa.

Key points of scope and claims for United States Patent 9320710 include:

  • The patent describes specific combinations of growth factors (like BMP-7), peptides, and antioxidants used to enhance wound healing.
  • It elucidates the process of employing a liposomal or similar delivery system to protect and release the targeted bioactive components within the oral environment.
  • The claimed compositions and methods reported significant results, demonstrating heightened tissue repair and decreased inflammation in animal models.
  • One notable aspect of the patent is the concentration ranges for different components within the invention. Optimal efficacy is reported when employing precise amounts of ascorbic acid, zinc, and cerium, as these components interact to promote optimal environmental conditions.
  • The claims for the patented invention also touch upon various possible dental applications, for instance, as an adjunct to conventional treatment methods for periodontal disease.

This groundbreaking patent extends the intellectual property rights of compositions used to treat and heal damaged oral mucosa tissues. The results detailed could translate into impactful treatments and help facilitate real-world clinical applications within the dental and medical fields.

Additionally, upon reviewing this patent, a number of concerns emerge regarding the invention's delivery system – liposomes. They represent a highly specific and complex engineering application that necessitates rigorous product testing prior to proposed therapeutic adoption in the human body.

The high degree of specificity in the patent related to concentrations and inter-component interactions may present one significant challenge to broader adoption or further research into this methodology.
