Disclosed are methods of treating and protecting teeth against erosion by use of oral compositions comprising polymeric mineral surface active agents, metal ions such as stannous and zinc and combinations thereof. The present methods provide improved resistance of teeth to erosive demineralization or dissolution and prevention of tooth damage by subsequent exposure of teeth to erosive chemicals such as acidic foods and beverages.

Method of protecting teeth against erosion

Dentifrice compositions with high water, a calcium-containing abrasive and polyethylene glycol have an alkaline pH and provide improved anti-plaque benefits with an alkaline pH.

Dentrifrice compositions having dental plaque mitigation or improved fluoride uptake

A method of quantitating sorption of stannous by microbial cells of a biofilm is an effective way of assessing efficacy of oral care products containing stannous.

Method of quantitating sorption of stannous by microbial cells of a biofilm

Methods for detecting and quantifying toxins present in the oral cavity. The methods may include providing a biological sample, providing reporter cells expressing one or more Toll like receptors, exposing the cells to the biological sample, measuring the EC50 value of the lipopolysaccharide on activation of a Toll like receptor, quantification of the lipopolysaccharide in the biological sample.

Detection of oral microbial virulence factors

An apparatus () for assessing treatment effectiveness of tooth sensitivity with an oral care product comprising a tooth shaped member () comprises an outer layer () simulating an enamel, wherein the outer layer () at least partially covers an exterior surface of an inner layer () simulating a pulp, and a liquid sensor () contained either between the outer layer () and inner layer (), or within the inner layer (); and a plurality of holes (), simulating open dentin tubules, configured through the outer layer () to the inner layer (), and in fluid communication with the liquid sensor (); wherein the liquid sensor () is configured to sense liquid passing through at least one of the plurality of holes () as simulating the treatment effectiveness of tooth sensitivity of the oral care product.

Dentifrice compositions with high water, a calcium-containing abrasive, an alkaline pH and minimal or nil amounts of polyols, such as PEG humectants, provide improved anti-plaque benefits.

Dentifrice compositions having dental plaque mitigation or improved fluoride uptake

One or more methods for sampling gingival metabolites and biomarkers.

Methods for sampling gingival metabolites

A therapeutic micro-current delivery device includes a first electrode in electrical contact with a user at a first user location, a second electrode in electrical contact with the user at a second user location, a power source operable to provide a first voltage potential at the first electrode and a second voltage potential at the second electrode, and a micro-current control circuit in electrical communication with the first electrode, second electrode and power source. Electrical contact of the first electrode at the first user location and electrical contact of the second electrode at the second user location completes an electrical circuit. The micro-current control circuit generates a micro-current Ithrough a user between the first location and the second location that increases from a start current Ito an end current Iover a rise time t. Oral care devices and micro-current control methods are also disclosed.

Therapeutic micro-current delivery devices and methods thereof

A head portion for a tongue cleaning device is disclosed. The head portion includes a mechanical tongue cleaning section and a tongue cleaning electrode. The mechanical tongue cleaning section includes a cleaning protrusion. The tongue cleaning electrode enables a current flow into a user's tongue during operation.
