A dual phase whitening oral care composition comprising a first phase comprising a bound peroxide in a substantially anhydrous carrier and a second phase comprising an abrasive and a tartar control system in an orally acceptable carrier. Methods of whitening a tooth surface are also provided.
摘要:
Oral care compositions comprising: (a) a peroxide complex comprising hydrogen peroxide and an N-vinyl heterocyclic polymer (e.g., poly-N-vinyl polylactam, or poly-N-vinyl-polyimide); (b) a whitening agent (e.g., hydrogen peroxide); and (c) an orally acceptable carrier. In one embodiment, the carrier comprises a film forming material. Methods are also provided for making an oral care composition comprising: (a) mixing a whitening agent, silicone adhesive and carrier fluid to form a homogenous mixture; (b) adding a peroxide complex to said homogenous mixture, wherein said complex comprises hydrogen peroxide and an N-vinyl heterocyclic polymer; and (c) mixing under vacuum.
摘要:
A composition for delivery of an oral care substance to a dental surface upon application of the composition thereto is a flexible film comprising the oral care substance dispersed in a film-forming effective amount of a polymeric matrix having a hydrophilic component, e.g ., vinylpyrrolidone (VP), and a hydrophobic component, e.g ., vinyl acetate (VA), in a weight ratio selected such that the film is substantially dissolvable in saliva in a period of time effective for delivery of the oral care substance. The polymeric matrix illustratively comprises a poly(VP/VA) copolymer having a VP/VA weight ratio of about 90:10 to about 10:90.
摘要:
A method for improving effectiveness of an oral care agent comprises preconditioning an oral surface by wiping the surface with an absorbent fabric having impregnated therein or coated thereon an orally acceptable preconditioning agent such as an activating agent for the oral care agent, wherein the wiping transfers an activating effective amount of the preconditioning agent from the fabric to the oral surface, and thereafter applying a composition comprising the oral care agent to the oral surface.
