An abrasive dentifrice composition which effects enhanced antiplaque and breath freshening properties which comprises an orally acceptable vehicle containing a combination of a safe and effective amount of an antibacterial agent and at least two enzyme ingredients.

Antibacterial dentifrice exhibiting enhanced antiplaque and breath freshening properties

A dual component antiplaque oral composition having antimalodor properties in which a first component contains an antibacterial agent and the second component contains a proteolytic enzyme, the first and second components are simultaneously combined for application to the teeth, the first and second components being physically segregated prior to use, the components when mixed upon application to teeth providing substantially antiplaque effect with superior antimalodor properties.

Antibacterial dentifrice exhibiting antiplaque and breath freshening properties

An antiplaque oral care composition having enhanced oral hygiene and organoleptic properties is provided. The composition contains an enzyme and a cyclodextrin. Papain and other proteolytic enzymes may be preferred. The resulting composition has more favorable organoleptic properties than a comparative composition containing only the enzyme.

Antiplaque oral composition containing enzymes and cyclodextrins

An oral composition comprising in an orally acceptable vehicle, an effective antiplaque amount of an halogenated diphenyl ether or phenolic antibacterial compound, and an amount of an mixed anionic/zwitterionic surfactant system which is effective to increase the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.

Surfactant system for increasing dental tissue antibacterial agent uptake

A method to suppress oral malodor and provide long lasting breath protection wherein there is applied to the oral cavity of the user an oral composition comprising an orally acceptable vehicle containing therein a flavor system comprised of a mixture of an essential oil and a coolant compound which is a menthyl ester of naturally occurring hydrocarboxylic acids having 2 to 6 carbon atoms esterified with C -C alkyl groups.

Oral compositions for reducing mouth odors

A dual component oral composition to suppress oral malodor and provide long lasting breath protection in the oral cavity which comprises a first dentifrice component having a substantially neutral pH and containing a zinc ion releasable compound and a chlorite ion releasable compound, the second dentifrice component having an acid pH, the first and second components being maintained separate from each other until dispensed and combined for application to teeth, the combined components having a pH of no greater than 7.
