Abstract:
A denture care composition comprising one or more denture care actives and one or more water insoluble carriers, wherein the composition is bioerodible, not a denture adhesive, and substantially free of polybutene with a molecular weight of about 300 to about 3000 when the composition is not an article, and is applied to dentures.
Abstract:
Advantageous oral care composition can include a water insoluble carrier, sweetener, and an additional component selected from the group consisting of flavors, sensates, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
An oral care composition with retinoid compound, amino acid, and/or olive oil compound. An oral care composition with retinoid compound, a pentapeptide, such as palmitoyl KTTKS [SEQ ID NO. 2], and/or an olive oil. A water-in-oil emulsion composition including retinoid compound, amino acid, and/or olive oil compound. A jammed oil-in-water emulsion composition including retinoid compound, amino acid, and/or olive oil compound. Methods of preventing gingival recession, stopping gingival recession, reversing gingival recession, decrease gum recession, increase gingival barrier protection, promoting collagen synthesis, promoting extracellular matrix synthesis, increasing gum resilience, increasing epidermal thickness and/or promoting fibrillin synthesis, in an oral cavity of an animal by contacting the oral care compositions with at least one surface of the oral cavity.
Abstract:
Oral care compositions containing agents that are effective for treating and modifying teeth and mucosal surfaces to be hydrophobic are disclosed. Hydrophobic modification of teeth and other oral cavity surfaces imparts a variety of end use benefits including prevention of caries, erosion, wear, staining, sensitivity and desquamation as well as providing shine, smoothness and positive tooth feel benefits. The compositions contain selected surface active organophosphate compounds that deposit and adhere to teeth and other oral cavity surfaces forming a hydrophobic coating having prolonged retention thereon. By forming a "hydrophobic coating" on the oral cavity surface is meant that the hydrophobic character of the surface is increased as measured, for example, by an increase of at least about 10 degrees in the water contact angle of the surface after treatment. The increased hydrophobic character of the surface is maintained for a period of at least about 5 minutes and desirably longer such as at least about 10, at least about 20 or at least about 30 minutes. The compositions may contain additional hydrophobic materials to further increase hydrophobicity of the surface and/or functionality of the coating to provide surface protection and many other benefits.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to oral care compositions. The oral care compositions include an adhesive component and an oral care active, and are combined with a viscosity index improver and/or a water insoluble component. The present invention is also directed to methods relating to the oral care compositions.
Abstract:
A denture adhesive delivery system comprising a primary packaging material which encloses and retains the denture adhesive article and further comprises a means for decreasing the denture adhesive article from sticking to the primary packaging material which can be selected from including a liner, coating one or more of the components of the delivery system with a non-stick coating, and/or minimizing the contact area between the components of the denture adhesive delivery system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to denture adhesive composition that can be dispensed from a tube, syringe and/or a pump comprising a safe and effective adhesive amount of a denture adhesive component; and a safe and effective amount of a water insoluble component selected from the group consisting of a water insoluble thermoplastic component, a water insoluble liquid component, and mixtures thereof; wherein the composition comprises a normalized ooze amount of about 0.001% to about 40%, or a ooze ratio from about 0.001 to about 0.7.
Abstract:
Denture adhesive compositions having good hold and improved taste containing a salt of a copolymer of alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid or anhydride. Compositions containing from about 25% to about 45%, by weight of the composition, of a salt of a copolymer of alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid or anhydride containing a cationic salt function containing: i) from about 60% to about 72% cations selected from calcium, strontium, magnesium, or combinations thereof; ii) from 0% to about 10% sodium cations; iii) less than 1% zinc cations; and iv) from about 25% to about 40% of a free acid component; and further containing from about 15% to about 25%, by weight of the composition of a carboxymethyl cellulose having a molecular weight of from about 200,000 to about 1,000,000 daltons; and a carrier. Methods of improving the adhesion of dentures to the oral cavity by applying such compositions to dentures, the oral cavity, or both, and thereafter securing the denture to the ridge or palate of the oral cavity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a denture adhesive article comprising: a) a safe and effective adhesive amount of a water soluble denture adhesive component; b) a safe and effective amount of a component selected from the group consisting of a water soluble plasticizer, a water soluble carrier, and mixtures thereof; wherein the article is bioerodible; and wherein the article has dry tack.
