A system and method employing image analysis may provide an objective measure of the state of gingival tissue health. A region of analysis on an image of gingival tissue may be divided into pixels. Each pixel may have an associated color made up of component R, G and B values. A user may obtain an objective measurement of oral cavity soft tissue health by determining an objective measurement of the component color values of a gingival tissue image region and performing statistical analysis on the color values.

Methods and products for analyzing gingival tissues

Disclosed are oral compositions comprising one or more linear polyphosphates having an average chain length of about 4 or more, sodium monofluorophosphate, a buffering agent, an abrasive polishing material containing less than 23% calcium, and one or more aqueous carriers, wherein the oral composition has a total water content of from about 5% to about 20%.

Dentifrice compositions containing polyphosphate and monofluorophosphate

Disclosed are oral formulations contained in physically separated compartments of a dentifrice dispenser, comprising a first dentifrice composition and a second dentifrice composition. The first dentifrice composition comprises an effective amount of one or more linear polyphosphates having an average chain length of about 4 or more, an effective amount of a buffering agents, and one or more aqueous carriers, wherein the first dentifrice composition has a total water content of from about 5% to about 20%. The second dentifrice compsoition comprises a soluble fluoride ion source, an effective amount of a buffering agents, and one or more aqueous carriers.

Dentifrice compositions containing polyphosphate and fluoride

Disclosed are oral compositions containing phosphocitrate to provide improved anticalculus activity.
