An oral hygiene composition containing an effective concentration of a pharmaceutically acceptable fluoride salt, a pharmaceutically acceptable zinc salt, a specific buffering agent, a suitable vehicle and having a pH of from about 3.5 to 6.0.

Oral hygiene compositions

Plaque disclosing compositions containing the natural red dye from sugar beets as the disclosant, and the process of treating the oral cavity therewith.

Natural dye indicator for dental plaque

An antibacterial oral composition effective to promote oral hygiene containing an antibacterial antiplaque agent and an additive which reduces staining of dental surfaces without substantially diminishing the antibacterial and antiplaque activity of the agent. Bis-biguanido hexanes, such as chlorhexidine and alexidine, and quaternary ammonium salts, such as benzethonium chloride and cetyl pyridinium chloride are typical examples of antibacterial agents. The antistain additive is a peroxydiphosphate salt, preferably tetrapotassium peroxydiphosphate (K.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.8).

Antibacterial oral composition

A novel composition to prevent and control dental calculus containing as the essential agent, a magnesium polycarboxylate complex formed by the reaction or interaction of a magnesium compound with a polycarboxylate selected from the group consisting of maleic acid copolymers, sulfoacrylic acid oligomers, and tricarboxy-oxa-butanol or pentanol.

Magnesium polycarboxylate complexes and anticalculus agents

An aqueous solution useful for remineralizing subsurface carious lesions of dental enamel which solution contains sources of calcium ions and phosphate ions as well as fluoride ions and further includes as an agent to stabilize the solution against precipitation, an antinucleating agent such as ethylenediamine tetramethylenephosphonic acid or water soluble salt thereof, the pH of the solution being about 5-9, preferably close to physiological conditions, such as about 6.8-7.5.

Stable solution for dental remineralization

A dentifrice useful for remineralizing subsurface carious lesions of dental enamel which contains sources of calcium ions and phosphate ions as well as fluoride ions and further includes as agent to stabilize against precipitation of the calcium and phosphate ions, an antinucleating agent such as ethylenediamine tetramethylenephosphonic acid or water soluble salt thereof, the pH of the dentifrice being about 5-9, preferably close to physiological conditions, such as about 6.8-7.5.

Dentifrice for dental remineralization

A dental prophylactic paste comprising an abrasive, a humectant, gelatin alone or in combination with silica gel or a water soluble silicate and optional flavoring and preservative ingredients having a viscosity in the range of 1200-150,000 centipoises at about 30.degree.-40.degree. C. which possesses improved flowability by which the paste can be poured through a nozzle under low pressure into individual containers as well as improved non-spatterability and cleaning efficiency in use by the dentist.

Dental prophylactic paste

A dental prophylactic paste comprising an abrasive, a humectant, gelatin and optional flavoring and preservative ingredients which possesses improved flowability by which the paste can be poured through a nozzle under low pressure into individual containers as well as improved non-spatterability and cleaning efficiency in use by the dentist.

A novel composition to prevent and control mouth odor, which is also effective in preventing calculus, plaque, caries and periodontal disease containing as the essential agent, a zinc-polymer combination formed by the reaction or interaction of a zinc compound with an anionic polymer containing carboxylic, sulfonic and/or phosphonic acid radicals.

Composition to control mouth odor

A method of preventing and controlling mouth odor which comprises applying a novel oral composition containing an effective amount of a peroxydiphosphate salt to the oral cavity, wherein the peroxydiphosphate salt is activated by the salivary phosphatases to slowly and continuously generate hydrogen peroxide which deodorizes the oral cavity.
