The present invention provides methods whereby a thermally formable
plastic is compounded with releasable active ingredients. The compounded
plastic is then formed into a desired dental delivery device such as an
anatomical membrane, tray or strip. The dental device is then placed in
the oral environment where it will release or leach active ingredients.
The dental device is intended to treat, alter, improve, or aid in various
conditions that are often present in the oral environment.
