Abstract: Disclosed are oral care compositions comprising an abrasive system, wherein the abrasive system comprises (a) a first particulate abrasive comprising at least 20 wt % pumice, based on the weight of the oral care composition, having an average particle size of from 20 to 300 microns; and (b) a second particulate abrasive comprising calcium carbonate having an average particle size of from 2 to 13 microns. There is also disclosed a method of cleaning teeth comprising applying the oral care composition to a tooth surface, the oral care composition being applied as a paste disposed in a prophy cup.

Abstract: Disclosed are oral care compositions, for example dentifrice compositions, comprising an oral care composition comprising an orally acceptable vehicle, metal oxide particles having an average particle size of no greater than a dentin tubule and at least one amino acid capable of chelating the metal oxide. The composition may comprise a polymeric adherent material for adhering the metal oxide particles in the dentin tubule. The metal oxide particles have a median particle size of 5 microns or less, and may comprise zinc oxide.
