  • Products and methods for disclosing conditions in the oral cavity
    Patent number: 9566225
    Abstract: An oral composition capable of identifying a condition within the oral cavity by causing a visual contrast between the condition and the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity has at least one disclosing agent. The disclosing agent can fluoresce in order to highlight conditions within the oral cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Stable oral compositions comprising casein phosphopeptide complexes and fluoride
    Patent number: 6863882
    Abstract: The present invention relates to oral care compositions, especially toothpastes, comprising: a safe and effective amount of phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex (“PP-ACP”); a safe and effective amount of a fluoride ion source; a pharmaceutically-acceptable topical, oral carrier, and a safe and effective amount of a calcium chelator, wherein the composition has improved fluoride stability. This invention further relates to a method of maintaining the fluoride levels in an oral care composition comprising a safe and effective amount of PP-ACP, a safe and effective amount of a fluoride ion source, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable topical, oral carrier, by adding, to the composition, a safe and effective amount of a calcium chelator.

  • Dual phase stannous oral compositions
    Patent number: 6521216
    Abstract: The present invention relates to dual phase oral compositions providing effective antimicobial activity for reducing plaque and gingivitis. One of the phases of the dual phase composition will contain stannous. The stannous phase comprises a stannous ion source, a fluoride ion source, and a gluconate salt. The stannous phase is essentially free of either an abrasive polishing material or chloride ions. The stannous phase containing phase inhibits the formation of a stannous chloro gluconate complex. The present invention also provides a method for effective delivery of stannous-containing compositions.
