Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tooth whitening strip of material having a shape adapted to fit a user's teeth. Each user has four front teeth, two canine teeth and additional back teeth, such as molars. Each tooth has a front side, a tip, and a back side. The strip of material is of a shape so that the strip will substantially cover the front side of at least the user's front four teeth and two canine teeth. The front sides of additional teeth may be covered. The tooth whitening strip will then fold over the tips and onto the back side of one or more of the front four teeth. However, the strip of material will not cover the tips of the two canine teeth. The strip of material may be of any shape that allows for the canines to protrude. Possible shapes include substantially trapezoidal with or without stair stepped sides or notches, and rectangular with notches, stair stepped sides, or recesses.
Abstract:
Method for whitening teeth are provided. The methods include the steps of providing a strip of material and applying a thin layer of a tooth whitening substance having a whitening active selected from the group consisting of peroxides, metal chlorites, perborates, percarbonates, peroxyacids, hypochlorites, and combinations thereof to a front surface of a plurality of teeth, wherein the amount of the tooth whitening substance is between about 0.05 grams and about 0.4 grams. The method further includes the steps of conforming the strip of material to the front surface of the plurality of teeth and removing the strip of material, wherein the front surface of the plurality of teeth have between a 1 and a 4 VITA LUMIN shade guide improvement in color.

Abstract:
A hydrocolloid gel composition, especially a wound gel composition, which comprises: a) a water insoluble, water swellable cross-linked cellulose derivative; b) an alginate; and c) distilled water in a sufficient amount to make up the difference between the amount of ingredients a)+b) and 100% and wherein the gel comprises from 0.05 to 5.00% by weight of alginate, shows better absorption capacity than known gels, accelerates the healing by serving as a slow-release system for active ingredients promoting wound healing.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises aqueous cellulose solutions and methods of their making. The solutions of the invention provide coatings and can be employed as nail coatings, protective coatings and non-wax polishes.
Abstract:
Hydrocolloid mixtures having improved dispersibility in water from an uncross-linked and a cross-linked hydrocolloid are prepared by subjecting at least one of the hydrocolloids to the action of at least one swelling agent or solvent for the hydrocolloid in a mixing apparatus before dispersion and vigorously mixing it therewith.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a hydrophilic shaped article of a water-insoluble polymer selected from the group consisting of regenerated cellulose, cellulose ether, cellulose ester and polyalkylene, and capable of forming fibers and films, said article containing amorphous particles of an originally water-soluble cellulose ether prepared from natural cellulose and rendered by chemical modification at least partly water-insoluble while remaining water-absorbent.
