Zinc and strontium unmixed partial salts of lower alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymers useful as denture adhesives.

Denture stabilizing zinc and strontium salts of ave/ma copolymer

A foamable liquid denture cleanser and deodorant comprising surfactant, humectant, water and an appreciable amount of ethanol or isopropanol. Flavoring, sweetening, coloring, scenting and the like ingredients are optionally added. The cleanser is applied to dentures as an aerated foam from a conventional foam-dispensing device.

Method of cleaning dentures using aerated foams

An oral composition containing zinc salicylate, zinc lactate or zinc gluconate in combination with an ionic fluoride salt.

Stable oral compositions containing zinc and fluoride compounds

Toothpaste compositions having monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, strontium disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate and sodium fluoride or sodium monofluorophosphate.

Toothpastes with reduced salinity

Dentifrice preparations having improved soluble fluoride availability are obtained by incorporation of a dibasic alkali metal phosphate either alone or in combination with a calcium ion chelating agent.

Dentifrices with improved soluble fluoride availability

A novel zinc compound, an alkali metal or ammonium zinc citrate, is prepared for use in dental compositions and especially in mouthwash compositions to provide mouthwashes with less astringency without loss of anti-odor properties, improved water solubility of the zinc compound and improved chemical compatibility when ionic fluoride salts are employed in compositions along with the zinc compound.

Zinc derivatives and their use in dental compositions

A substantially non-adhesive gel composition for use in improving the fit and adaptation of dentures to the oral cavity of the user, which comprises about 1 to 10% by weight of a hydrophilic cellulose polymer or alginate, about 5 to about 40% by weight of a demulcent, preferably glycerine, and about 50 to about 95% water. The composition reduces denture movement and prevents buildup of undesireable deposit such as plaque or the like.

Non-adhesive gel compositions for stabilizing dentures

A novel zinc compound, an alkali metal or ammonium zinc citrate, is prepared for use in mouthwash compositions to provide mouthwashes with less astringency without loss of anti-odor properties, improved water solubility of the zinc compound and improved chemical compatibility when ionic fluoride salts are employed in compositions along with the zinc compound.

Zinc derivatives and their use in mouthwash compositions

Dentifrice preparations having improved soluble fluoride availability are obtained by incorporation of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and sodium salts thereof.

Dentifrice composition having strontium disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate formed in situ.
