Abstract: The process for the preparation of containers comprising two or more partial regions separated from each other of solid cast powder formulations having different colors employs containers into which separating bridges of a pasty composition have been injected, said composition being similar to the subsequently cast solid powder formulations. The bridges prevent the partial regions having different colors from coalescing.
Abstract: A dentifrice for hypersensitive teeth containing at least 15% by weight of an apatite having an average particle size of less than 8 .mu.m and an abrasion value (RDA) of less than 30 as the sole crystalline and polishing substance. No further soluble mineral salts are present in the dentifrice. The dentifrice may also contain a local anesthetic.

Abstract: An electric toothbrush having a timer for monitoring brushing time. The timer is activated when the pressure exertred on the bristles exceeds a predetermined minimum pressure to ensure proper brushing for a predetermined minimum period of time.
Abstract: An improved strong foaming toothpaste containing gelatin, a gelatinous eggwhite product or a mixture thereof and at least one surfactant. The gelatin or gelatinous eggwhite product makes it possible to reduce the surfactant content, thereby providing a toothpaste which avoids the adverse effects a high content of surfactant has on the mouth mucous membrane.About 1 to 2.5% by weight of surfactant and 1 to 10% by weight of gelatin, a gelatinous eggwhite product, or mixture thereof, can be used in the toothpaste.
Abstract: A dentrifice in paste or powder form which contains, in addition to the usual constituents, at least one physiologically compatible, natural or synthetic dye and at least one high-foam surfactant and in which the dye and surfactant contents are so co-ordinated that colored foam produced by the user on brushing takes 20 seconds or more to become white or only pale in color so that this serves as an indication of the correct period of brushing necessary.
