Abstract: Disclosed are oral care compositions comprising a thickening silica and a fluoride ion source, wherein fluoride is absorbed on the thickening silica and wherein the pH of the composition is below 5.5, as well as to methods of using these compositions. The thickening silica may have a particle size distribution (D95) less than or equal to 7 ?m and a BET surface area of greater than or equal to 150 m2/g.

Abstract: Described herein are dentifrices comprising stannous ions, fluoride ions, non-crustacean derived chitosan, and an abrasive system. Methods of making and using these dentifrices are also described.

Abstract: Oral care compositions and methods for reducing dental sensitivity or at least partially occluding dentin tubules of teeth in a subject are described herein. The oral care compositions may include an orally acceptable vehicle and a silica blocking agent configured to at least partially occlude dentin tubules of teeth. The silica blocking agents may include silica particles having a particle size distribution (D95) less than or equal to 7 ?m and a BET surface area of greater than or equal to 150 m2/g.

Abstract: Described herein are liquid compositions, comprising an ethoxylated amine of a fatty acid, an organic solvent, and an acid.

Abstract: A dentifrice, such as toothpaste, containing chitosan or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof with fluoride ions, for use against erosive tooth demineralization, and kits containing chitosan or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof with fluoride ions, wherein one of the two active agents is comprised in a dentifrice, are described. The dentifrice in the form of toothpaste may furthermore comprise dissolved tin, in particular stannous ions. Toothpastes containing chitosan or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof with fluoride ions are tested in the treatment or prevention of erosive tooth demineralisation caused by citric acid.

Abstract: A brush head for a toothbrush with bunches of bristles inserted therein, wherein at least one of these bunches of bristles protrudes out of the bristle surface in a perpendicular fashion and at least one of these bunches is inclined, and is characterized in that the inclined bunches of bristles comprise cylindrical bristles, and in that at least some of the bunches which protrude in a perpendicular fashion comprise pointed bristles.

Abstract: An oral care mouth rinse composition containing at least one ionic tin source and polyvinylpyrrolidone wherein the polyvinylpyrrolidone is present in an amount of from 1.5 to 4 weight % based on the total weight of the oral care mouth rinse composition is provided.

Abstract: An oral care mouth rinse composition containing at least one source of ionic tin and at least one aliphatic di- or tri-carboxylic acid in free or salt form, wherein the at least one aliphatic di- or tri-carboxylic acid in free or salt form is present in an amount of from 0.05 to 0.30 weight % based on the total weight of the oral care composition is provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a metal salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid; (b)at least one fluoride ion source; and (c) at least one ?-hydroxy acid or salt thereof; wherein the composition is a mouthwash or a mouthrinse.
