Abstract: There is provided a composition for teeth desensitization. The composition comprises from 1 to 15 wt. % of suspended crystals of oxalic acid potassium salt dihydrate having a size of from 50 nm to less than 1000 nm. The composition comprises from 0.5 to 10 g/L of NaOH and has a pH of less than 2.

Abstract: A dental cleaning system and method is provided. The dental system contains: a first component containing an aqueous composition that includes —a carboxylic acid, a glycol, a metal chloride hydrate, water, and a surfactant; and, a second optional component selected from a metal carbonate, a metal bicarbonate, and mixtures thereof. The dental cleaning method includes: applying component one to teeth to be cleaned to thereby create a film over the teeth; optionally applying component two over the film created by component one and reacting the two components; and rinsing the teeth once cleaning is affected.

Abstract: A method of forming a solution of oxalic acid potassium salt dihydrate, useful for desensitizing dentin, comprising the steps of admixing an effective amount of oxalic acid potassium salt dihydrate in water having a pH of 2.0-4.0, heating the solution at a temperature range from 85° F. to 100° F. until a suspension is formed, ultrasonically vibrating this suspension for an effective amount of time and frequency to reduce the oxalic acid potassium salt dihydrate to a particle size of 1 to 10 microns.

Abstract: A collapsible shipping container comprising a base portion, three walls which are hinged to the base at their respective lower edges, a fourth wall which assembles to the base by sliding into a channel, four identical corner posts having a pair of channels for sliding on to the vertical edges of the four sides, and a top lid. The hinges on the side walls allow the three hinged side panels to fold over onto each other in a tightly layered configuration. The hinges do not carry a load which allows the containers to be stacked. The corner posts have locking pins which fit into holes on the tops of the walls to firmly lock the walls together. Skids are provided on the bottom portion to allow the container to be picked up and moved by forklifts. The top lid holds the corner posts and completely encloses the collapsed container. Alternatively, the container may accept snap-in casters on the bottom.
