A handle for an oral-care implement, the handle comprises an electrical motor arranged to drive an output element structured and configured to couple the handle and a head attachable to and detachable from the handle; and a microcontroller for controlling the motor and to cause the output element to vibrate in (a) at least one oral-hygiene mode during which the oral-care implement is being used for an oral-hygiene routine, wherein the output element is vibrating at a substantially constant frequency, and (b) a disinfection mode during which the handle is being disinfected, before or after being used for the oral-hygiene routine, wherein the output element is continuously vibrating at a modulated frequency alternating within a frequency range of between about 140 Hz and about 250 Hz, for a duration of the disinfection mode.

Handle for oral-care implement for safe and hygienic use by multiple users and method of disinfecting the same

A handle for an oral-care implement for safe and hygienic use by multiple users includes an electrical motor and a detachable head. The handle has a display for displaying instructions to control functional operation of the handle, a microcontroller for controlling the motor and the display, and at least one switch to allow a user to control the functional operation of the handle, including causing the output element to vibrate in at least one oral-hygiene mode having an oral-hygiene frequency and causing the output element to vibrate in a disinfection mode when the handle is being disinfected before or after being used for the oral-hygiene routine. The disinfection mode has a modulated frequency, different from the oral-hygiene frequency, and alternating up and down between a low modulated frequency and a high modulated frequency, wherein the high modulated frequency is at least 50 percent greater than the low modulated frequency.

The present invention relates to oral care compositions, especially toothpastes, comprising: a safe and effective amount of phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex ('PP-ACP'); a safe and effective amount of a fluoride ion source; a pharmaceutically-acceptable topical, oral carrier, and a safe and effective amount of a calcium chelator, wherein the composition has improved fluoride stability. This invention further relates to a method of maintaining the fluoride levels in an oral care composition comprising a safe and effective amount of PP-ACP, a safe and effective amount of a fluoride ion source, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable topical, oral carrier, by adding, to the composition, a safe and effective amount of a calcium chelator.
