Abstract: An imaging system may include: a first light source configured to emit a first source spectrum of collimated light; a second light source configured to emit a second source spectrum of light; a probe head configured to direct the first source spectrum and the second source spectrum toward tissue in an oral cavity and to collect a first feedback spectrum of light and a second feedback spectrum of light; an interferometry sub-system to generate an optical feedback signal using the first source spectrum; at least one optical sensor array for receiving the optical feedback signal and the second feedback spectrum; and at least one programmable processor to generate: a first diagnostic image of the tissue using the optical feedback signal; a second diagnostic image of the tissue using the second feedback spectrum; and a third diagnostic image from a combination of the first diagnostic image and the second diagnostic image.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of treating biofilm (e.g. modifying surface topography, reducing thickness or reducing biovolume) and compositions and apparatus for use in carrying out such methods.

Abstract: A system for testing biological samples includes a frame having first and second sides and an aperture extending through the frame from the first side to the second side. First and second covers are attached to the first and second sides of the frame to form a well bounded by the frame, the first cover, and the second cover. An electromagnetic imaging device is used to image the biological sample through the first cover. A method is also conceived, wherein a first fluid is supplied to the well, the first fluid including live cells. A biofilm is grown from the live cells. A second fluid is supplied to the well and the biofilm is imaged using the electromagnetic imaging device.

Abstract: An oral care composition including a hydrophobic phase and a hydrophilic phase is disclosed. The hydrophobic phase may include a source of hydrogen peroxide and an acyl donor, and the hydrophilic phase may include an enzyme having perhydrolytic activity that catalyzes the generation of peracetic acid between the source of hydrogen peroxide and the acyl donor.

Abstract: A two-phase oral care whitening composition including a hydrophobic phase and a hydrophilic phase, and methods for oral care whitening teeth with the same are provided. The hydrophobic phase may include a source of hydrogen peroxide and an acyl donor. The hydrophilic phase may include an enzyme that catalyzes the generation of peracetic acid between the source of hydrogen peroxide and the acyl donor. At least one of the hydrophobic phase and the hydrophilic phase may further include at least one surfactant.

Abstract: A composition in which the volatile silicone is partially or fully replaced by a plant oil. The plant oil containing composition is parity or better than the volatile silicone containing material but at lower cost. One example comprises a mixing product of at least one material chosen from antiperspirant actives and deodorant actives; greater than 10 weight % of a plant oil: and less than 40 weight % of a volatile silicone oil. Another examples comprises a mixing product of greater than 10 weight % of a plant oil; a gellant for the composition; and less than 40 weight % of a volatile silicone oil, wherein the composition does not contain an antiperspirant active or deodorant active.
