This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising a basic amino acid or salt thereof, a zinc source, and a preservative, as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.

Oral care compositions and methods of use

This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising an effective amount of a basic amino acid in free or salt form, together with an antibacterial agent, and to methods of using and of making such compositions.

Oral care product and methods of use and manufacture thereof

The present invention is directed to effervescent compositions comprising a basic amino acid.

Effervescent compositions

The application discloses dentifrice compositions comprising arginine together with fluoride, phosphate and pyrophosphate salts, in a dentifrice base with a calcium-free silica abrasive, which compositions provide enhanced remineralization, together with methods of using and of making these compositions.

Oral care compositions

The present invention is directed to methods and compositions comprising a basic amino acid, e.g., arginine, for the treatment of dry mouth.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of xerostomia

The invention provides a method of treating sensitive teeth comprising attaching a sealant composition comprising a basic amino acid to a person's tooth and allowing the basic amino acid to be slowly released over time in order to reduce chrome and/or acute tooth sensitivity together with compositions and methods of use.

Tooth sealant

The present invention provides oral instruments comprising a basic amino acid, to compositions for making such instruments, and to methods of making and using such instruments.

Compositions and devices

The present invention provides tooth-whitening compositions comprising a bleaching agent and a basic amino acid, together with devices for application thereof, and methods of use therefor.

Compositions for tooth-whitening comprising a bleaching agent and a basic amino acid, and methods and devices for application thereof

This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising an effective amount of a salt of a basic amino acid the salt having a pH in an unbuffered solution of less than about 7.5; an effective amount of a soluble fluoride salt; and a particulate material which has a pH in an unbuffered solution of less than about 7.5; and to methods of using and of making such compositions.

This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising a basic amino acid or salt thereof, and a small particle fraction: and to methods of using and of making these compositions.

An oral care implement includes a handle, a head mounted to one end of the handle that includes a first face having a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending therefrom and a second face, a store of dentifrice retained at the head, and a film matrix retained at the head containing at least one rapidly releasable agent. A soft tissue cleaner can be included on the second face. The at least one rapidly releasable agent can be provided to the first and/or second faces during use from the film matrix. In addition, dentifrice can be provided to the first and/or second faces during use from the store of dentifrice. The at least one rapidly releasable agent can include, for example, a flavoring agent, a dentifrice, or a therapeutic agent. The toothbrush can be small in size and lightweight so as to be readily portable for use away from the home.

Oral care implement

A dentifrice composition containing minor amounts of relatively small particle size high cleaning abrasives, without oral care actives. The dentifrice may be encapsulated and optionally, positioned on the head of a toothbrush. Use of the dentifrice provides a small amount of high cleaning abrasive to the teeth, and has stain removal efficacy. In one aspect, a dentifrice composition comprising an orally acceptable carrier and 1 to 10 wt % abrasive, such that the total amount of abrasive delivered per application is 2 mg to 8 mg, the abrasive having a weight mean particle size in the range of 3 to 7 &#x3bc;m, with at least 90% of the particles by weight having a size below 16 &#x3bc;m, and wherein the composition does not contain an oral care active.

High cleaning dentifrice compositions

An oral care composition comprises xylitol and a water-soluble calcium salt for caries prevention. Methods of treating and preventing dental caries are also provided.

Anti-caries oral care composition with xylitol

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.
