Abstract:
An oral care composition having a soluble zinc polyphosphate complex made by combining ingredients including an inorganic zinc salt, and a plurality of long chain polyphosphates having 6 or more phosphate polymer units, the relative amount of inorganic zinc salt and long chain polyphosphates providing a phosphorus to zinc mole ratio of at least 6:1. Further provided is a method of treating a subject suffering from dentinal sensitivity applying the oral care composition to the teeth and gums of the subject.
Abstract:
An oral care composition having a soluble zinc polyphosphate complex made by combining ingredients including a zinc salt, a plurality of long chain polyphosphates having 6 or more phosphate polymer units, and a solvent, the relative amount of organic zinc salt and long chain polyphosphates provides a phosphorus to zinc mole ratio of at least 6:1. Further provided is a method of treating a subject suffering from dentinal sensitivity applying the oral care composition to the teeth and gums of the subject.
Abstract:
A soluble zinc polyphosphate complex made by combining ingredients which include an organic zinc salt and a plurality of long chain polyphosphates having 6 or more phosphate polymer units, the organic zinc salt and long chain polyphosphates being mixed in amounts that provide a phosphorus to zinc mole ratio of 15:1 to about 55:1. Further provided is a method of making this soluble zinc polyphosphate.
Abstract:
Surface staining can be minimized or eliminated by providing an oral care composition comprising a first film comprising a pigment; and optionally a second film; wherein the first film has a dissolution rate in aqueous media that is inversely proportional to its thickness, wherein the first film is in the form of a particle.
Abstract:
Described herein are compositions comprising a film, wherein the film comprises a pigment, and is adapted to release the pigment at a specific point in time during use; and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Provided is an oral care composition comprising a phosphate/acrylate co-polymer, a whitening agent and an orally acceptable carrier and methods of using the same.
