A composition and method for the treatment and prevention of plaque accumulation on teeth wherein there is administered to the oral cavity an oral composition comprising an orally acceptable aqueous vehicle containing an effective therapeutic amount of a noncationic antibacterial agent and an acrylic polymer/polyoxyalkylene copolymer formed from about 80 to about 90% by weight of the acrylic polymer and about 5 to about 20% by weight of the polyoxyalkylene having a molecular weight greater than 4,000 and less than 20,000 the antibacterial compound exhibiting increased antiplaque activity on dental tissue.

Oral composition exhibiting enhanced antiplaque efficacy

An oral composition and method for use thereof, comprising in an orally acceptable vehicle, an effective antiplaque amount of a noncationic antibacterial agent, and an anionic copolymer formed from monomers of which about 40 to about 90% by weight are hydrophilic type capable of attachment to oral surfaces and about 10 to about 60% by weight are of a hydrophobic type; such oral composition being effective in increasing the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.

Oral composition exhibiting enhanced uptake by dental tissue of

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/nonionic surfactant system at weight ratios of about 14:1 to 9:1 which ratios are effective to increase the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.

Oral composition containing a mixed surfactant system for promoting
