An applicator for oral treatment preparations comprises a membrane covered
core having an arched vertical panel and a lateral panel with a generally
"L" shaped transverse cross section. The core is formed of a modeling
material such as wax, which is soft and pliable and which conforms to the
contours of oral surfaces against which it manipulated. The vertical
panel is pressed against buccal dentition surfaces to be treated. The
lateral panel is then manually bent around occlusal surfaces and pressed
against lingual dentition surfaces. The oral treatment preparation for
administration may be coated on the membrane prior to fitting or
microencapsulated within the core to pass through the membrane for
administration. Alternately the applicator is removed after initial
shaping or fitting, the oral treatment preparation is applied to the
membrane and the applicator is then reinserted.
