Abstract:
Oral care compositions containing a stannous salt and sodium tripolyphosphate are provided where stannous tripolyphosphate ionic intermediates comprise less than about 1% of the compositions Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, a methylvinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer and/or a silica oral polishing agent may be added for further efficacy. In a single phase blend, the oral care composition may be effectively limited to comprise less than about 10% water. In a dual-phase blend a mixture having the stannous salt in a first phase and the sodium tripolyphosphate in a second phase may be generated from a dual chamber storage tube (with each phase provided from a separate chamber) immediately prior to dental care usage.

Abstract:
An oral care composition having a first phase of clinically efficacious 2,4,4′-trichloro 2′-hydroxydiphenyl ether admixed in a first orally acceptable aqueous vehicle, and a second phase having a stannous salt (such as stannous fluoride) admixed in a second orally acceptable aqueous vehicle. The second phase has no less than 10 molar percent of soluble stannous ion respective to a mathematical sum of moles of the soluble stannous ion and moles of the stannous salt in the second phase. In one embodiment, the two phases are provided in a dual-tube toothpaste oral care kit.

Abstract:
Methods and oral compositions for reducing one or more of plaque, tartar, caries, dentinal sensitivity, malodor, and/or inflammation are provided. The composition comprise an active ingredient that comprises a zinc salt.
Abstract:
An oral care composition comprises an antibacterial phenolic compound and a vitamin or vitamin derivative component comprising one to a plurality of antioxidant vitamin or vitamin derivatives. In one embodiment the vitamin or vitamin derivative component comprises vitamin E and vitamin E acetate and optionally one or more additional vitamin or vitamin derivatives. In another embodiment the vitamin or vitamin derivative component comprises an antioxidant vitamin or vitamin derivative and a source of vitamin B5. A method of oral care comprises applying a composition as described above to an oral surface of a subject.
Abstract:
An oral composition comprising a vehicle and a zinc ion source in the form of nanoparticles that are substantially non-aggregated and methods for use of such compositions are described. The composition provides antiplaque and anti malodor benefits to the user and the inclusion of nanoparticles permits a reduction in the amount of zinc ions present in the composition while maintaining efficacy.
