Abstract:
This invention relates to dentifrice compositions comprising stannous fluoride and a silica abrasive having a N 2 BET surface area of less than 50 m 2 /g and an Einlehner hardness of from 4 to 11, as well as to methods of using these compositions.
Abstract:
An oral care composition comprising high water oral care compositions comprising an orally acceptable carrier, zinc phosphate, a first stannous ion source (i.e., stannous fluoride), and a second stannous ion source (i.e., stannous chloride). Methods and uses for this composition are also described throughout.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising a first source of stannous, a second source of stannous, wherein the second source of stannous contains stannous pyrophosphate, and a zinc source selected from the group consisting of: zinc oxide, zinc citrate, zinc lactate, and combinations thereof, as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.
Abstract:
An oral care composition comprising zinc phosphate, stannous fluoride and an organic acid buffer system, as well as methods of using the same.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising zingerone, a stannous ion source, zinc oxide, and zinc citrate, as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.
Abstract:
An oral care composition comprises (a) arginine or lysine; (b) zinc citrate and zinc oxide; (c) fluoride source; and (d) a silica abrasive which exhibits an acid pH when measured as an aqueous slurry. The composition is used in the manufacture of a product for application to the oral cavity of a subject in need thereof to improve oral health.
Abstract:
Disclosed are oral care compositions comprising an abrasive system, wherein the abrasive system comprises (a) a first particulate abrasive comprising at least 20 wt% pumice, based on the weight of the oral care composition, having an average particle size of from 20 to 300 microns; and (b) a second particulate abrasive comprising calcium carbonate having an average particle size of from 2 to 13 microns. There is also disclosed a method of cleaning teeth comprising applying the oral care composition to a tooth surface, the oral care composition being applied as a paste disposed in a prophy cup.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions (for tooth whitening) comprising a thickening system comprising a first thickening agent and a second thickening agent, wherein the first thickening agent comprises greater than 15 wt% of the mixture of the first and second thickening agents in the thickening system. The compositions comprise crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone complexed with hydrogen peroxide with a thickening system comprising silica and crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Abstract:
An oral care toothbrush includes a head mounted to one end of the handle containing a plurality of oral care elements. A dispenser for an oral care composition is mounted within the toothbrush. The oral care composition consists of arginine. The toothbrush is preferably made of small size and of lightweight so as to be readily portable for use away from the home.
