A chewable confectionery dental composition delivering to the mouth a unit dose of a plaque reducing enzyme the composition comprising an enzyme and a non-cariogenic sweetener, the enzyme being incorporated in the composition at a temperature less than about 80&#xb0; C.

Chewable antiplaque confectionery dental composition

An abrasive dentifrice composition which effects enhanced antiplaque and breath freshening properties which comprises an orally acceptable vehicle containing a combination of a safe and effective amount of an antibacterial agent and at least two enzyme ingredients.

Antibacterial dentifrice exhibiting enhanced antiplaque and breath freshening properties

A dual component antiplaque oral composition having antimalodor properties in which a first component contains an antibacterial agent and the second component contains a proteolytic enzyme, the first and second components are simultaneously combined for application to the teeth, the first and second components being physically segregated prior to use, the components when mixed upon application to teeth providing substantially antiplaque effect with superior antimalodor properties.

Antibacterial dentifrice exhibiting antiplaque and breath freshening properties

An antiplaque oral care composition having enhanced oral hygiene and organoleptic properties is provided. The composition contains an enzyme and a cyclodextrin. Papain and other proteolytic enzymes may be preferred. The resulting composition has more favorable organoleptic properties than a comparative composition containing only the enzyme.

Antiplaque oral composition containing enzymes and cyclodextrins

An oral care composition having enhanced oral hygiene and antiplaque properties which comprises an orally acceptable vehicle containing a combination of an enzyme, cetylpyridinium chloride and a reducing agent.

Enzyme containing oral composition having enhanced stability

A two component antiplaque dentifrice composition is disclosed which comprises first and second dentifrice components containing an enzyme such as papain and a metal salt such as stannous fluoride, the first and second dentifrice components being maintained separate from the other until dispensed for application to teeth.

Antiplaque enzyme containing dual component composition

An oral antiplaque composition comprising an orally acceptable vehicle and an effective antiplaque amount of 4-alkoxy substituted 2-hydroxy benzophenone compound having the following formula:

Antiplaque oral composition and method

An antibacterial combination of a nonionic halogenated diphenyl ether compound such as Triclosan and hydrogenated lupulone, the combination being particularly effective in inhibiting the growth of gram-positive bacteria and in the preparation of antiplaque oral compositions.
