Abstract: A dentifrice composition is described comprising a carboxylic acid or alkai metal salt thereof, a source of free fluoride ions and optionally a copolymer of methyl vinyl ether with maleic anhydride or acid. Importantly the dentifrice composition is mildly acidic, having a slurry pH in the range greater than 5.0 to less than 6.5. The composition enhances fluoride uptake into teeth and provides protection against acidic challenges.

Abstract: An oral care compositon is described for use in the treatment or alleviation of the symptoms of dry mouth comprising polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) or a derivative thereof, an anionic mucoadhesive polymer and an orally acceptable carrier or excipient.

Abstract: A shipping carton with an integral cushion support. The carton includes a bottom, two side walls and two end walls extending vertically from the base, and a top. The top and bottom of the carton include two side flaps and two end flaps that are used to close the top and bottom in a conventional manner. The end flaps preferably include a integrally formed cushion support that includes an elongate body having a triangular cross-sectional shape defined by a vertical wall extending away from the end flap and an inclined wall extending from the end of the vertical wall towards the end flap. One or more locking tabs extend from the end of the inclined wall of the cushion support and engage one or more slots formed in the end flap. Alternatively, a locking member extends away from the end flap in the same direction as the vertical wall of the cushion support and includes a locking slot formed adjacent the end flap that is engaged by the one or more locking tabs to lock the cushion support in place.
