Abstract:
The present invention relates to oral care compositions and methods of inhibiting microbial biofilm formation and/or degrading a microbial biofilm. Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising an Amadori compound having a glucose moiety and an amino acid moiety. The Amadori compound has use for inhibiting oral microbial biofilm formation and/or degrading an oral microbial biofilm in the oral cavity of a mammalian subject.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising a mixture of zinc oxide and trimethylglycine, in free or orally acceptable salt form. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
A dentifrice composition comprising an orally acceptable vehicle having distributed therein a water hydratable film flakes having a matrix comprised of a water soluble hydroxy alkyl cellulose polymer and a starch, and flaying entrained therein a constituent selected from therapeutic cosmetic and decorative materials.

Abstract:
The invention provides oral care compositions comprising a mixture of tetrabasic zinc halide and trimethylglycine, in free or orally acceptable salt form. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
Described herein are tooth whitening strips comprising an hydratable adhesive film having a granular bleaching ingredient attached thereto, wherein upon hydration, the granular bleaching ingredient releases hydrogen peroxide which is used by an enzyme catalyst having perhydrolytic activity to enzymatically produce an effective amount of peracid bleaching agent from an acyl donor substrate. Methods of making and use the tooth whitening strips are also provided.

Abstract:
A powered toothbrush includes a handle, a power source disposed in the handle, a head including a cavity disposed at a distal end of the handle, an electrically conducting element disposed in the cavity and electrically connected to the power source, and a movable cleaning element connected to the head and movable relative to the cavity. The movable cleaning element includes a tooth cleaning support member, a tooth cleaning element mounted on the support member, and a ferromagnetic member. Application of an electrical current to the electrically conducting element generates a magnetic field at the electrically conducting element. The magnetic field selectively at least one of attracts and repels the ferromagnetic member to move the movable cleaning element relative to the electrically conducting element.
