Film forming compositions and methods for preventing stains and increasing shine and gloss of teeth. The film forming compositions may include a polymer, such as a hydrophobic polymer, and an orally acceptable solvent. The hydrophobic polymer may include an acrylate component and a hydrophobic group coupled with one another. The hydrophobic group may include an alkyl chain, a polyethylene glycol, a polypropylene, a polyester, a polyorthoester, a phospholipid, a long chain fatty acid, a vinyl chloride, fluorethylene, a siloxane, a urethane, an octylacrylamide, a butylaminoethyl, a styrene, and combinations thereof.

Oral care compositions and methods for the same

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising at least one phosphate/acrylate copolymer, at least one cationic antibacterial agent, at least one synthetic anionic linear polycarboxylate polymer, at least one surfactant, and zinc lactate. Also disclosed herein are methods for the treatment and/or inhibition of gum disease or halitosis comprising contacting the oral cavity with the oral care compositions disclosed herein, as well as methods of making the oral care compositions disclose herein.

Oral care compositions comprising at least one phosphate/acrylate copolymer and at least one cationic active ingredient

Film forming compositions and methods for occluding dentin tubules of teeth to treat dentinal hypersensitivity of the teeth are provided. The film forming compositions may include a hydrophobic copolymer, a rosin, and an orally acceptable solvent. The hydrophobic copolymer may include an acrylate/octylacrylamide copolymer, such as 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-methylpropyl ester, polymer with 2-propenoic acid and N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-2-propenamide. Methods for treating dentinal hypersensitivity may include contacting the film forming composition with surfaces of the teeth.

A film forming composition and methods for preventing acid erosion of teeth and preventing the formation of caries on teeth are disclosed. The film forming composition may include a hydrophobic copolymer, a fluoride compound, and an orally acceptable solvent. The film forming composition may also include a cellulose derivative, a rosin, a fluoride compound, and an orally acceptable solvent.

A method of reducing staining by an oral care composition, including providing an effective amount of a metal chelator, wherein the oral care composition includes chlorhexidine.

Methods and compositions to reduce staining for antibacterial oral care compositions

Disclosed herein are dentifrices comprising a zinc amino acid halide, which provide a precipitate of zinc oxide upon use with dilution with water and/or saliva. Methods of making and using the dentifrices are also provided.

Dentifrice comprising zinc-amino acid complex

Disclosed herein are non-aqueous dentifrice compositions comprising (i) a whitening complex comprising crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone complexed with hydrogen peroxide; (ii) an off-gas reducing agent selected from sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, citric acid and clay; and (iii) an orally acceptable carrier. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

Oral care compositions and methods of use

Described herein are aqueous oral care compositions comprising (a) an effective amount of a basic amino acid in free or orally acceptable salt form; and (b) a polymer system comprising (i) a cellulosic polymer, (ii) a gum polymer, and (iii) a polyacrylate polymer or co-polymer; and methods of making and using the same.

Aqueous oral care compositions

Described herein are oral care compositions comprising a surfactant system; a structuring agent, and a lipophilic agent; and methods of making and using the same.

Oral care compositions

Disclosed are anti-erosion oral care formulations and methods that provide erosion protection while maintaining adequate cleaning performance. The anti-erosion oral care formulations include a copolymer of a methylvinyl ether and a maleic anhydride and a metal compound or salt that becomes more soluble at acidic pH.

Oral care product for sensitive enamel care

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising a zinc amino acid halide. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

Oral care compositions comprising zinc amino acid halides

This application is directed to methods of assessing polymer deposition on dental surfaces using near infrared spectroscopy, providing a rapid and efficient method to screen for and identify optimal polymers for use in oral care formulations, (i) near infra red (IR) absorption of a dental substrate is measured in the absence of a polymer under test, and subsequently of the test sample comprising the dental substrate contacted with the test polymer. After washing or rinsing the test sample near IR of it is determined again (iii). The IR absorption of the test polymer itself is also measured (ii). Through the comparison of the three measurements (i), (ii), and (iii) the degree of deposition and retention of the test polymer on the test sample is determined.

Polymer screening methods

Disclosed herein are mouthwashes comprising a complex of a zinc ion source and an amino acid. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
