摘要:
A stable, nonaqueous liquid tooth whitening composition comprised of an anhydrous peroxide compound dispersed in an orally acceptable mixture of an anhydrous hydrophilic polymer and an adhesion enhancer which composition when applied topically to tooth surfaces forms an adherent layer containing the peroxide compound which peroxide compound is thereafter is released from the layer to effect tooth whitening.
摘要:
A method for whitening a dental surface comprises nonsimultaneously applying a whitening composition to the surface, the whitening composition comprising at least one orally acceptable peroxy compound, and directing a volume of up to about 2.5 ml of an atomized activating composition on to the surface, wherein the activating composition comprises, in the volume so directed, a peroxy compound activating effective amount of at least one orally acceptable basifying agent, and wherein applying the whitening composition and directing the activating composition are separated by an interval not greater than a peroxy compound activating effective interval. The atomized composition can be directed on to the dental surface before or after application of the whitening composition.

Described herein are compositions which prevent the growth of bacteria resistant to high salt concentrations, methods of preparing the same, and methods of using the same.
摘要:
An oral care composition and method are described in which the composition includes a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier. The film or plurality of film fragments comprises a zinc compound and the carrier comprises a polysaccharide and a maleic anhydride copolymer. The composition and methods provide benefits including one or more of increased consumer acceptability, improved solubility of zinc thus permitting the use of lower amounts of zinc compounds and reducing the adverse astringency associated with zinc, decreased adverse reactions brought about by the presence of zinc ions, enhanced aesthetics, improved stability for active or other functional materials, and controlled delivery of active materials such as zinc.
摘要:
Compositions for altering the color of teeth, including tooth-coating compositions comprising a colorant and an acrylate polymer. Colorants among those useful herein include whiteness-imparting particulate materials, such as hydroxyapatite.

Described herein are preservative systems which prevent the growth of microorganisms in silica based dentifrices, compositions comprising the same; and methods of making and using the same.
摘要:
A tooth whitening system comprising a dental tray having a surface operable to confront a tooth surface, and a tooth whitening composition comprising a whitening agent and a hydrophobic polymer carrier. The tooth whitening composition is preferably substantially non-water soluble. A tooth whitening kit is also provided using a dental tray and the tooth whitening composition comprising a whitening composition and a hydrophobic polymer carrier.
摘要:
Disclosed are oral care compositions, for example dentifrice compositions, comprising an oral care composition comprising an orally acceptable vehicle, metal oxide particles having an average particle size of no greater than a dentin tubule and at least one amino acid capable of chelating the metal oxide. The composition may comprise a polymeric adherent material for adhering the metal oxide particles in the dentin tubule. The metal oxide particles have a median particle size of 5 microns or less, and may comprise zinc oxide.
