The present invention relates to an oral composition and method for alleviating the symptoms associated with xerostomia using encapsulated cation-releasing compounds formulated either intimately together or in separate compartments in a composition containing cation-sensitive mucoadhesive polymers.

Controlled surface gelling of mucoadhesive polymers on oral mucosa

Described herein are tooth whitening strips comprising a hydratable adhesive film with a first side and a second side, the first side having a granular bleaching ingredient attached thereto in an amount effective to whiten teeth, together with methods of making and using the same.

Tooth whitening strip

Described herein are packages for storing and dispensing multi-part tooth whitening formulations, comprising a deformable material configured to form two or more sealed chambers, e.g., wherein the first chamber contains a low viscosity liquid solution comprising an enzyme having perhydrolytic activity, and the second chamber contains a peroxide source and a at least one acyl donor substrate. Particular multi-part tooth whitening formulations using this principle and methods of use thereof are also provided.

System providing perhydrolase-catalyzed reaction

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.

Peracid-generating compositions

The invention relates to methods of making films having active ingredients. A film that is substantially free of active ingredient is introduced into a medium comprising an active ingredient. At least a portion of the active ingredient is transferred from the medium to the film. The films can be used in a variety of applications, including oral care, personal care, cleansing and/or home care compositions.

Methods of making compositions comprising films

An oral composition comprising a vehicle and a zinc ion source in the form of nanoparticles that are substantially non-aggregated and methods for use of such compositions are described. The composition provides antiplaque and anti malodor benefits to the user and the inclusion of nanoparticles permits a reduction in the amount of zinc ions present in the composition while maintaining efficacy.

Oral composition containing non-aggregated zinc nanoparticles

Oral composition comprising aextract of semi-oxidized tissue from a member of the genusand an enhancing agent.

[object Object]

An oral carrier strip for the delivery of an oral care composition to the oral cavity of a human or animal subject is provided. The strip includes a first portion adapted to contact a front facing side of a plurality of teeth. A second portion is provided to be folded around the teeth so as to contact a back facing side of the teeth. The first portion has a first perimeter patterned to substantially match a shape of an outer gingival tissue, and the second portion has a second perimeter opposite the first perimeter and patterned to match a shape of an inner gingival tissue. The second perimeter defines an aperture disposed in the second portion having a rounded notch positioned in a center portion of the strip, configured to prevent the strip from tearing when folded around the teeth.

Carrier strip for application to oral surfaces and related methods

Oral care strip

The invention provides oral compositions including a safe and effective amount of a compound represented by the formula (I): wherein Rand Rare independently selected from a hydrogen atom and an alkyl group and Xis an anion, and n is an integer of 1 to 25; and (b) a surfactant.

Antiplaque oral care compositions

A thin, flexible film which when applied to stained teeth is hydrated by saliva and is effective in such form to whiten teeth, the film comprising an anhydrous water hydratable ethylene oxide polymer matrix containing a solid peroxide whitening agent whereby upon application to stained tooth surfaces, the peroxide whitening agent is solublilized by saliva present in the oral cavity into active whitening activity when the film is positioned and placed on the teeth.

Strip for whitening tooth surfaces

A rapidly dissolvable orally consumable film composition for delivering breath freshening agents to the oral cavity wherein the composition is formed from a homogeneous mixture of a water soluble, low viscosity hydroxyalkylmethyl cellulose and a water dispersible starch and a flavoring agent.

Breath freshening film
