Abstract:
Oral care compositions containing: a free-B-ring flavonoid and a flavan; as well as at least one bioavailability-enhancing agent are provided. Methods of using the oral compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
An orally consumable film composition for delivering antiplaque and breath freshening benefits to the oral cavity which is rapidly dissolvable or dispersible in the oral cavity, the composition being comprised of a homogeneous mixture of a water soluble or dispersible film forming polymer and an antibacterial ester having the formula (I), where R 1 is an alkyl chain of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and R 2 is an alkyl chain of 6 to 30 carbon atoms and X is an anion.
Abstract:
Methods and oral compositions for reducing one or more of plaque, tartar/ caries, dentinal sensitivity, malodor, and/ or inflammation are provided. The composition comprise an active ingredient that comprises a zinc salt.
Abstract:
Stable oral compositions containing an antibacterial casein glycomacropeptide, an anionic surfactant, and a hydrolyzed protein stabilizer, which stabilizes the casein glycomacropeptide in the presence of the anionic surfactant against inactivation without substantially reducing its antibacterial properties.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for fluoridating teeth using a two-component dentifrice system in which the first component is stable, semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a fluoride ion releasable hydrolyzable complex fluoride compound such as sodium fluorosilicate, in an aqueous vehicle in which xanthan gum is the major thickening agent and glycerin, sorbitol or mixtures thereof are the humectant, and the second component is a semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a calcium ion releasable compound and an abrasive in an aqueous vehicle containing xanthan gum as the major thickener and glycerin, sorbitol or mixtures thereof as the humectant. The first and the second dentifrice compounds are maintained separate from the other until mixed for application to teeth.
Abstract:
An oral care composition, such as a dentifrice composition, which provides enhanced anti-gingivitis efficacy is disclosed. The composition includes a tocopherol component which consists of about 10% to about 90% of gamma tocopherol, with the balance of the components selected from alpha tocopherol, beta tocopherol, delta tocopherol, and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
A stable aqueous antiplaque oral composition containing (a) an antibacterial ester compound having the formula (I) where R 1 is an alkyl chain of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and R 2 is an alkyl chain of 6 to 30 carbon atoms and X is an anion.(b) a stabilizing surfactant; and (c) a humectant. Methods of making the oral composition are also provided.
Abstract:
A dual component dentifrice composition in which the first component is a stable, semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a fluoride ion releasable compound in which calcium ion is absent and the second component is a semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a dicalcium phosphate abrasive having a magnesium ion content less than about 0.5 % by weight wherein increased fluoride uptake is achieved when the components are mixed upon application to dental tissue.
Abstract:
Described herein, are dental strips comprising a film backing, and an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer comprising a water-swellable polymer and at least one active agent; and uses thereof.
