Abstract:
Disclosed herein are mouthwashes comprising a complex of a zinc ion source acid. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
Described herein are films comprising a zinc-containing compound and a film-stabilizing ingredient, for use in oral and personal care compositions.
Abstract:
An oral odor control agent admixture of generally equivalent proportions of thymol, anise, fennel, basil, and juniperberry essential oils shows efficacy as an odor control agent in oral care for control of garlic odor.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are non-aqueous dentifrice compositions comprising (i) a whitening complex comprising crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone complexed with hydrogen peroxide; (ii) an off-gas reducing agent selected from sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, citric acid and clay; and (iii) an orally acceptable carrier. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising at least one phosphate/acrylate copolymer, at least one cationic antibacterial agent, at least one synthetic anionic linear polycarboxylate polymer, at least one surfactant, and zinc lactate. Also disclosed herein are methods for the treatment and/or inhibition of gum disease or halitosis comprising contacting the oral cavity with the oral care compositions disclosed herein, as well as methods of making the oral care compositions disclose herein.
Abstract:
Described herein are dual component oral care systems comprising a first component comprising a peroxygen compound and having a first pH and a second component comprising at least one salt of a weak mono or polyprotic acid and having a second pH wherein the second pH is higher than the first pH and is less than 10.0 wherein when combined the first and second components form a tooth-whitening composition having a pH of greater than 6.0 and less than 10.0 is provided.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising a surfactant system; a structuring agent, and a lipophilic agent; and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Disclosed are anti-erosion oral care formulations and methods that provide erosion protection while maintaining adequate cleaning performance. The anti-erosion oral care formulations include a mucoadhesive polymer and a zinc compound or salt that becomes more soluble at acidic pH.
Abstract:
The invention describes the modification of polyamine-based materials to form polyguanidine compounds that are useful for their antimicrobial, anticaries, and muccoadhesive properties. The present invention also relates to methods for preventing or treating periodontal disease and caries which include delivering a therapeutically effective amount of an oral composition containing a polyguanidine compound into an oral cavity.
