Abstract: The problem of providing a storage stable anti-calculus toothpaste comprising a tripolyphosphate salt is remedied by incorporating more than 4% of the salt and having the pH from about 8 to about 10. A tripolyphosphate salt may also be combined with a noncationic anti-bacterial agent such as triclosan to provide a composition having anti-calculus and anti-plaque activity.

Abstract: A storage stable, anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis toothpaste comprises an amount.

Abstract: A dispenser of the type having an elongated reservoir for storing toothpaste or other fluent material, an outlet nozzle at one end of the reservoir, and a one-way piston at the other end of the reservoir in contact with the fluent material, the one-way piston comprising a body portion having a top surface for contacting material in the reservoir, a flexible annular sealing member for sealingly engaging the inner wall of the reservoir, and one or more air-venting passages for permitting air trapped between the fluent material in the reservoir and the piston to be vented to the atmosphere as the piston is inserted into the dispenser and into contact with the material.

Abstract: A storage stable anticalculus toothpaste comprising at least about 4%, by weight, based on the total weight of the toothpaste, of a water-soluble alkali metal tripolyphosphate, a phosphatase enzyme inhibitor consisting of a fluoride ion source in an amount sufficient to supply from about 25 ppm to about 3500 ppm of fluoride ion, a silica or plastics dental abrasive and an orally acceptable vehicle, the toothpaste having a pH of from about 8 to about 10.

Abstract: An oral anesthetic composition comprising an anesthetically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl of 2 to 8 carbon atoms or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an anesthetically effective amount of a rapid-onset anesthetic selected from the group consisting of benzyl alcohol, phenol, phenolate sodium, hexylresorcinol, menthol, salicyl alcohol and benzocaine in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, said carrier being in orally administrable form.

Abstract: Liquid detergent fabric conditioning compositions are prepared which are useful for providing detergency, fabric softening and anti-static properties to fabrics during the wash cycle in the laundering process which comprises from about 2% to about 12% of a cationic fabric conditioning agent having fabric softening and anti-static properties, from about 10% to about 50% of a nonionic surfactant having detergent properties which is compatible with said cationic fabric conditioning agent, and an aqueous solvent system.

Abstract: A plastic toothpaste dispenser containing an aqueous toothpaste that includes a flavoring oil and a non-toxic oil in an amount effective to reduce the loss of the flavoring oil escaping through the plastic dispenser.

Abstract: An anti-caries aqueous solution, which comprises an aqueous solution containing an anti-caries effective amount of TiF.sub.4 and a chelating agent in an amount effective to stablilize the TiF.sub.4, said solution having a pH of at least about 3.5.

Abstract: An extrudable, shape-retaining aqueous toothpaste which comprises an anti-caries effective amount of TiF.sub.4, a dental polishing or abrasive agent, a chelating agent in an amount effective to stabilize the TiF.sub.4, and an aqueous dental vehicle, said aqueous toothpaste having a pH of at least about 3.5.

Abstract: A dentifrice containing an anticaries agent and an abrasive is produced to which has been added at least one color indicator which, when the user brushes his or her teeth with the dentifrice, results in a color change in the dentifrice within the user's mouth after a predetermined period of brushing time has elapsed for the purpose of indicating to the user that he or she has brushed his or her teeth a sufficient length of time.

Abstract: Liquid detergent fabric conditioning composition containing novel and effective optical brightening agent. The composition contains both a cationic fabric conditioning agent and a nonionic surfactant in combination with an optical brightening amount of a C.sub.21 dicarboxylic acid, salt thereof or mixture thereof and an aqueous solvent system.

Abstract: A kit is produced which comprises an active agent, such as a fabric softener and antistatic composition, a reusable substrate capable of being coated with or impregnated with the active agent and means for coating or impregnating said substrate both initially and for re-coating or re-impregnating said substrate with the active agent after each use or after multiple uses.

Abstract: Fabric conditioning articles for use in an automatic laundry dryer are prepared comprising a polyrethane foam substrate impregnated with or coated with an effective amount of a fabric conditioning agent, an anti-microbially effective amount of a halide ion-containing agent and an anti-discoloration effective amount of zinc sulfate, sorbitol or dextrose.
