Abstract:
Substituted saccharide compounds, dental compositions comprising substituted saccharide compounds, and methods of using dental compositions are described. In one embodiment, the substituted saccharide amide compound comprises a hydrophobic group and at least one free-radically polymerizable group with the proviso that the hydrophobic group is not bonded to the ethylenically unsaturated carbon atom of the free-radically polymerizable group. The hydrophobic group is typically bonded to a nitrogen atom of a saccharide amine residue or a carbonyl moiety of saccharide amide residue.
Abstract:
Calcium phosphate particles are described comprising a surface treatment wherein the surface treatment comprises at least one sugar alcohol, at least one glycerophosphoric acid compound, or mixture thereof. Also described are various oral care compositions comprising surface treated calcium phosphate particles and methods of surface treating calcium phosphate particles.
