Disclosed are coated multifilament dental devices overcoated with biofilm-responsive, imbedded, particulate abrasives.

Coated multifilament dental devices overcoated with imbedded particulate

A wide range of aqueous based soaking operations can be employed to impregnate substantially throughout various rawhide pet chews; suitable substances for release into the oral cavity of pets during chewing include emulsions, surfactants, conditioners, flavorants and/or active ingredients. Prior to impregnation, the rawhide chews are physically disrupted/penetrated to augment substance impregnation substantially throughout the chews.

Emulsion impregnated rawhide chews

A shred resistant, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, micromesh interproximal device produced by fibrillating and slitting stretched polyethylene film having a tensile-strength from between about 0.7 GPa and about 5 GPa, where said polyethylene has an intrinsic viscosity of from between about 5 and about 50 dl/g and wherein said resultant micromesh tape is coated with an oral care substance at from between about 10 and about 120 mg/yd.

Micromesh interproximal devices

Various monofilament dental tapes with substantive coatings including: solutions of block copolymers and non-ionic surfactants, melt emulsions of waxes emulsified in surfactants and inverse melt emulsions of surfactants emulsified in a continuous wax phase, and their methods of manufacture are described.

Monofilament dental tapes with substantive coatings

Disclosed are coated monofilament dental tapes with physical improvements including patient-friendly edges and self-indicating releasable coatings.

Physical improvements in coated monofilament dental tapes

Molecularly oriented, thermoplastic elastomeric dental tapes extruded with a melt spinning extrusion carried out at draw ratios from between about 4:1 and about 7.5:1 and draw temperatures from between about 80&deg; and 265&deg; C. having: elongation at break of less than about 50%, an elastic limit of less than about 25% and enhanced tape flex-twist index from between about 2.5 and about 5, with the capacity to release substantive, flake-free, saliva soluble coatings during flossing.

Elastomeric monofilament dental tapes

Monofilament dental tapes coated with a permanent Soft Abrasive&trade; coating and a saliva soluble overcoating suitable for physically disrupting and/or removing biofilms, tartar and stained pellicle.

Monofilament dental tapes with soft abrasive coatings

A toothbrush having an improved cleaning and abrasion efficiency, wherein the bristles are comprised of synthetic thermoplastic polymeric compositions, and contain longitudinal channels extending along the length thereof, having a depth sufficient to entrap a quantity of abrasive particles such that during brushing with a toothpaste, contact between the channel entrapped abrasive particles and the surfaces of the teeth is improved, resulting in a cleaning efficiency coefficient, CEC, above about 1.5 and, an abrasion efficiency coefficient, AEC, above about 1.5, while demonstrating suitable bristle wearability.

Toothbrush with improved cleaning and abrasion efficiency

The present invention relates to a nicotine-impermeable container and a method for fabricating same. Additionally, the invention relates to a nicotine inhaling device which allows a user to ingest nicotine vapors orally. The nicotine inhaling device of the present invention is primarily directed to a device which can be used as a smoking cessation aid.

Method of cleaning teeth with a toothbrush with improved cleaning and

Low foaming therapeutic toothpastes containing a therapeutic substance, an abrasive, a humectant, a low foam surfactant, and/or a foam control agent having improved cleaning and abrasion performance wherein: packing of the abrasive into the channels of a channeled bristle toothbrush, and abrasive/tooth surface contact, are substantially free from surfactant bubble interference such that Cleaning Efficiency Coefficient and Abrasion Efficiency Coefficient values greater than about 1.1 are achieved along with improvements in therapeutic efficacy.

Low foaming therapeutic toothpastes with improved cleaning and abrasion

The present invention relates to various toothpastes containing, stable, dispersions of certain high viscosity silicones in certain surfactants; wherein: a. the dispersed silicones, which contain triclosan, 2,4,4'-triclosan-2'-hydroxy/epoxy/ether, are insoluble in said surfactant, are oriented by the surfactant such that when dispersed in water they are particularly adept at forming oriented, nonhelical coatings on surfaces of the mouth with enhanced substantivity, and b. the particle size of the dispersed silicone is from between about 0.1 and about 10 microns, with a particle size distribution such that from between about 80 and 95% of the dispersed silicone is within this particle size range. These stable dispersions are described as ULTRAMULSION dispersions, which, together with their physical properties, when contained in toothpastes, provide the toothpaste with enhanced with enhanced substantivity to mouth surfaces, where the non continuous silicone phase functions as a reservoir for the triclosan contained therein.

Ultramulsion based antigingivitis toothpaste compositions

The present invention relates to various hair care products containing stable, dispersions of certain high viscosity silicones in certain surfactants; wherein:
