摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing, inhibiting, and/or preventing, calculus, tartar, plaque, and/or microbes, in the oral cavity, comprising from about 15% to about 70% of an alkyl vinyl ether maleic copolymer or terpolymer denture adhesive component, an effective amount of a quaternary ammonium antimicrobial agent selected from the group consisting of cetylpyridinium chloride, domiphen bromide, and mixtures thereof, and a non-aqueous vehicle. A denture wearer in need thereof applies the composition to the oral cavity and/or the denture prosthesis and thereafter secures the denture to the oral cavity.
摘要:
Stabilizer compositions including specific mixed partial salts of a lower alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymer, the partial salts containing from about 15% to about 40% free acid, are disclosed. The cationic salt function is from about 0.1% to about 9.9% zinc or strontium cations, and from about 20% to about 67% calcium cations of the total initial carboxyl groups are reacted. Also disclosed are denture stabilizing compositions including a safe and adhesively effective amount of two or more denture adhesive components where one of the denture adhesive components is the above mixed partial salt.
