Abstract: An oral care implement includes a collection system for oral fluids. Some embodiments of the implement may include an oral care region having a wearable oral member having a thickness that is reduced during use, a reservoir for retaining an oral fluid, a receiver coupled to the oral member for receiving an oral fluid, and a fluid pathway in communication with the receiver to provide the oral fluid to the reservoir.

Abstract: The present invention includes oral care compositions and methods for inhibiting growth and formation of oral biofilms by quorum sensing inhibition and/or bactericidal activity. In some embodiments, the present invention discloses an oral care composition including a therapeutically effective amount of at least one carbonate compound of Formula (1) and at least one excipient: wherein, R1 and R2 are independently: an aliphatic radical; a hydroxyaliphatic radical; or an aryl radical. In some embodiments, the present invention discloses a method of providing oral care benefits including applying to an oral cavity an oral care composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of at least one carbonate compound of Formula (1) and at least one excipient.

Abstract: A composite comprising a silicone compound sorbed onto a porous cross-linked polymer. This composition can be included in an oral care composition and inhibit bacterial adhesion on an oral surface.

Abstract: Disclosed are oral care compositions and the use of such oral care compositions for inhibiting co-aggregation of oral bacteria and inhibiting bacterial growth. Also disclosed are methods for inhibiting co-aggregation of oral bacteria and inhibiting bacterial growth. The oral care composition includes cranberry extract non-dialyzable material, in which the cranberry extract non-dialyzable material is present in an amount effective to inhibit co-aggregation of oral bacteria and/or inhibit bacterial growth.

Abstract: A multi-benefit oral composition is provided. The oral composition is efficacious as an antibacterial, antiplaque, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-halitosis oral composition. The active ingredient has one or more active compounds from an extract of oregano.
