A denture adhesive composition is disclosed and comprises a polymeric activator in an amount of up to about 3 percent by weight based on the total weight of the denture adhesive composition; wherein the activator is selected from the group consisting of: poly(meth)acrylic acid, poly acrylic acid, polyitaconic acid, polycitraconic acid, and a monovalent alkali metal cation salt thereof. This composition exhibits enhanced adhesive performance and reduces oozing and incidence of food occlusion.

Denture adhesive compositions comprising a polymeric activator

A denture adhesive liner contains a foamed, flexible, polymeric, self supporting layer that supports a denture adhesive and, optionally, a material for adhering the liner to a denture. The foamed self supporting layer helps provide better cushioning and a more effective gasket for the denture adhesive liner.

Denture adhesive liner

A denture adhesive composition is disclosed and comprises a polymeric activator in an amount of up to about 3 percent by weight based on the total weight of the denture adhesive composition. This composition exhibits enhanced adhesive performance and reduces oozing and incidence of food occlusion. Also disclosed is a method of preparing a denture adhesive composition comprising: preparing a mixture which comprises a polymeric activator in an amount of up to about 3 percent by weight based on the total weight of the denture adhesive composition; forming a denture adhesive composition including the mixture; and recovering the denture adhesive composition. A method of making a denture adhesive composition more adhesive and less oozing is disclosed as well. This method comprises adding to the denture adhesive composition a polymeric activator in an amount of up to about 3 percent by weight based on the total weight of the denture adhesive composition.

Denture adhesive comprising a polymeric activator and methods of preparing the same

A denture adhesive comprising a copolymer salt at least partially cross-linked by lysine, histidine, arginine, nontoxic derivatives or family members of lysine, histidine or arginine and mixtures thereof.

Denture adhesive

An antimicrobial denture adhesive, denture cleansing creme or denture soaking or brushing composition comprises a combination of 8-hydroxyquinoline (or its salt) and at least one copper(II) salt. The composition fights denture stomatitis by inhibiting Candida albicans.

A denture adhesive composition contains a denture adhesive and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier in which the denture adhesive is a salt of a copolymer of maleic acid or anhydride and a 1 to 5 carbon atom alkyl vinyl ether having a specific viscosity of at least 4.0. The denture adhesive composition is used to adhere a denture to the oral mucosa.

Denture adhesive composition

A denture adhesive with significantly improved hold performance is comprised of the mixed partial salts of polymethyl vinyl ether maleic acid. At least one of said salts comprises zirconium while a second salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, strontium and mixtures thereof. Optionally, a tripartite salt formulation may be prepared utilizing sodium, lithium or potassium. The adhesives are formulated in a standard pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle comprised of waxes, oils, colorants, viscosity modifiers and the like as is known in the art. The denture adhesive may be formulated as a paste, powder or liquid which has rapid absorption characteristics for faster swelling softening and superior coalescence.

Denture cleanser tablet compositions are disclosed which include a flavoring agent in one layer and a bleaching agent in a second layer. This arrangement avoids deterioration of the tablet flavor and taste during storage.

Organoleptically stable denture cleanser tablets

An improved denture adhesive that exhibits superior tack, adhesion, cohesive strength and spreadability characteristics is made from a hydrocarbon-free base consisting of a mixture of medium length chain triglycerides which have been mixed with a small amount of fumed silica and other components so as to improve the viscosity, spreadability and taste. Preferred triglycerides include captic and caprylic acids and in particular, a mixture of the caprylic and captic acids which are combines with fumed silica and a water soluble cellosic polymer and a synthetic methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer that is formulated as a paste or gel.

Hydrocarbon free denture adhesive

A novel denture adhesive composition contains an adhesive mixture comprising sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and, either a partially neutralized sodium, magnesium, zinc mixed salt or a partially neutralized magnesium, zinc mixed salt of an alkyl vinyl ether maleic acid copolymer.

A denture adhesive composition contains an adhesive mixture comprising carboxymethyl cellulose and partially neutralized sodium, a salt of an alkylvinyl ether maleic acid copolymer that forms crosslinked polymer complex compounds in situ with zinc cations.
