Abstract
Described herein are single-phase compositions and methods for its pharmaceutical and cosmetic use, comprising (i) a combination of N-acyl sarcosinate, (ii) an oxidative compound, and (iii) a buffering system in amounts and embodiments effective to protect the oxidative compounds from degradation prior to use and upon use and to enhance the efficacy of the composition in removing polymicrobial biofilms, reducing the re-growth of polymicrobial biofilms that leads to plaque formation, greater availability of chlorite ion for antimicrobial and cosmetic purposes, and effective oxidation of salivary biomolecules. When these single-phase compositions are comprised of a source of fluoride ion, they also achieve enhanced enamel fluoride uptake, higher enamel protection by enhanced remineralization and reduced demineralization of teeth when compared to US Pharmacopoeia Reference Dentifrice, prior known toothpastes comprising stabilized chlorine dioxide and comparable commercial dentifrices.
