Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oral composition useful to reduce inflammatory processes. More specifically, the invention relates to a composition consisting essentially of an anti-oxidative effective amount of morin and a water-humectant phase, and to a composition comprising an anti-oxidative effective amount of morin, one or more anti-bacterial agents and a water-humectant phase. In an embodiment, the composition is used in a method of preventing or treating inflammatory dental diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Abstract:
The invention provides an antiplaque oral composition containing an orally acceptable carrier and an antibacterial effective amount of compound (I). In the structure, R1 and R2 are independently a hydrogen atom or a lower C1-4 alkyl group and R3 and R4 are independently an alkenyl or alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, with the proviso that R3 and R4 are not both 2-propenyl or n-propyl when R1 and R2 are both hydrogen atoms. Also included are oral compositions containing the compound (I).
Abstract:
A dual component oral composition to suppress oral malodor and provide long lasting breath protection in the oral cavity which comprises a first dentifrice component having a substantially neutral pH and containing a zinc ion releasable compound and a chlorite ion releasable compound, the second dentifrice component having an acid pH, the first and second components being maintained separate from each other until dispensed and combined for application to teeth, the combined components having a pH of no greater than 7.
Abstract:
An oral composition comprising in an orally acceptable vehicle, an effective antiplaque amount of an halogenated diphenyl ether or phenolic antibacterial compound, and an amount of an mixed anionic/zwitterionic surfactant system which is effective to increase the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.
