Abstract:
An imaging system may include: a first light source configured to emit a first source spectrum of collimated light; a second light source configured to emit a second source spectrum of light; a probe head configured to direct the first source spectrum and the second source spectrum toward tissue in an oral cavity and to collect a first feedback spectrum of light and a second feedback spectrum of light; an interferometry sub-system to generate an optical feedback signal using the first source spectrum; at least one optical sensor array for receiving the optical feedback signal and the second feedback spectrum; and at least one programmable processor to generate: a first diagnostic image of the tissue using the optical feedback signal; a second diagnostic image of the tissue using the second feedback spectrum; and a third diagnostic image from a combination of the first diagnostic image and the second diagnostic image.
Abstract:
An oral care composition, including a peroxysulfate whitening agent, a non-aqueous dispersant having a non-aqueous liquid, and a structural builder.
Abstract:
A composition in which the volatile silicone is partially or fully replaced by a plant oil. The plant oil containing composition is parity or better than the volatile silicone containing material but at lower cost. One example comprises a mixing product of at least one material chosen from antiperspirant actives and deodorant actives; greater than 10 weight% of a plant oil; and less than 40 weight% of a volatile silicone oil. Another examples comprises a mixing product of greater than 10 weight% of a plant oil; a gellant for the composition; and less than 40 weight% of a volatile silicone oil, wherein the composition does not contain an antiperspirant active or deodorant active.
Abstract:
The invention provides packages for storing and dispensing multi-component tooth whitening formulations, wherein the contents of the separate components are mixed just prior to use. Particular multi-component tooth whitening formulations using this principle and methods of use thereof are also provided.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a mouthwash comprising partially hydrolyzed plant protein, which is useful, e.g., in methods of repairing or inhibiting dental erosion, promoting dental remineralization, and/or enhancing the anti-cavity effects of fluoride.

Provided herein are oral care compositions comprising partially hydrolyzed plant protein, which are useful in methods of repairing or inhibiting dental erosion, promoting dental remineralization, and/or enhancing the anti-cavity effects of fluoride.
Abstract:
A method of making the antiperspirant active compositions having SEC chromatogram exhibiting high SEC peak 4 intensity, which are described in PCT/US2007/087145 (Published as WO2009/075678) and PCT/US2008/086556 (Published as WO2009/076591). The method uses a combination of sodium hydroxide with a source of calcium ions.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods of treating biofilm (e.g. modifying surface topography, reducing thickness or reducing biovolume) and compositions and apparatus for use in carrying out such methods.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods of quantifying the severity or monitoring the progression of white spot lesions on a tooth by quantifying the grayscale difference between the white spot lesions and the surrounding healthy enamel in the blue channel of a digital color photographic image of the tooth.
Abstract:
Provided herein are, inter alia , methods of treating, repairing, mitigating, and/or reducing the incidence, size or visibility of white spot lesions on teeth by administering oral care compositions comprising partially hydrolyzed plant protein.
