MUMBAI, India, Jan. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511104687 A) filed by Mahatma Gandhi University Of Medical Sciences And Technology, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Oct. 30, 2025, for 'dental floss fiber with wax-based antimicrobial coating.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Charu Thanvi; Dr. Pragati Kaurani; Dr. Anshuman Jamdade; and H M Rakshith.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a coated dental floss fiber comprising a coating composition that includes eugenol and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) dispersed in a microcrystalline wax matrix. The synergistic combination of eugenol and CPC provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity at reduced concentrations, minimizing irritation and undesirable side effects. The wax matrix stabilizes the active ingredients, enabling uniform coating and sustained release during flossing. The coated dental floss overcomes prior art limitations such as staining from natural agents like turmeric and adverse effects of conventional antiseptics, offering a safe, effective, and aesthetically acceptable oral hygiene product."
