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 a basic amino acid or salt thereof, and a small particle fraction; and to methods of using and of making these compositions.
Abstract:
The invention includes an oral care composition that reduces and/or eliminates the perception of tooth sensitivity. The composition includes an adherent material and includes, in part, particles having a particle size of 2-5 microns. Also included within the scope of the invention are methods comprising the use of such compositions, such as methods of reducing dental sensitivity.

Abstract:
The invention includes an oral care composition that reduces and/or eliminates the perception of tooth sensitivity. The composition includes an adherent material and particles having an average particle size of about 8 microns or less. The particles are present in the composition in an amount of about 5% by weight. Also included within the scope of the invention are related methods, such as methods of occluding a dentin tubule.
