Abstract:
The invention includes methods of cleaning an oral surface, maintaining oral health and/or increasing oral health. Such methods encompass contacting an oral surface with a primary oral care composition at least once daily, contacting the oral surface with a periodic oral care maintenance composition at least once monthly, wherein the periodic oral care maintenance composition comprises a basic amino acid, in free or salt form and optionally contacting the oral surface with a periodic oral care cleaning composition at least once monthly. The periodic oral care cleaning compositions suitable for use in the method comprise an abrasive system.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising an effective amount of a basic amino acid in free or salt form and a low dosage of fluoride and to methods of using such compositions.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising an effective amount of a basic amino acid in free or salt form, together with an antibacterial agent, and to methods of using and of making such compositions.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising an effective amount of a salt of a basic amino acid, the salt having a pH in an unbuffered solution of less than about 7.5: an effective amount of a soluble fluoride salt: and a particulate material which has a pH in an unbuffered solution of less than about 7.5; and to methods of using and of making such compositions.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides oral compositions having at least two botanical active ingredients derived from plants. The oral composition also includes an orally acceptable vehicle to deliver an effective amount of the at least two active ingredients in vivo. The botanical active ingredients provide particularly efficacious antimicrobial (antibacterial, antiviral, and/or antifungal), antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, and or healing properties to the oral compositions.
