Publication number: 20020176828Abstract: A solid oral product, e.g., chewing gum, lozenge, an edible foodstuff, and the like, which is useful for remineralizing subsurface dental lesions and/or mineralizing exposed dentinal tubules, contains (A) a discrete cationic agglomerate component composed of at least one water-soluble or partially water-soluble calcium salt and a first inert solid carrier, and (B) a discrete anionic agglomerate component composed of at least one water-soluble orthophosphate salt and a second inert solid carrier. The agglomerate nature of the cationic and anionic components keeps these components separate from one another during storage of the product but allows the cationic and anionic salts to be simultaneously released from the product upon mixing of the product with water and/or saliva to form a mixed aqueous solution such that the solution contains both calcium cations released from the calcium salt and orthophosphate anions released by the orthophosphate salt.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2002Publication date: November 28, 2002Inventors: Jordan Barth, Anthony E. Winston, Norman Usen

Patent number: 6303104Abstract: An oral product, preferably a toothpaste, effective for remineralizing subsurface dental lesions, mineralizing exposed dentinal tubules and whitening teeth stained with discoloring residues containing heavy metal ions such as Fe+3, Mn+2 and Cu+2, is composed of a first discrete part composed of a water-soluble or partially water-soluble calcium salt and optionally a non-toxic, non-calcium water-soluble divalent metal salt, and a second discrete part composed of a water-soluble orthophosphate salt and preferably a water-soluble fluoride salt. Further enhanced stain-removing properties without excessive abrasivity are imparted to the oral product when part (A) further contains an effective amount of an anhydrous dicalcium phosphate abrasive and part (B) further contains an effective amount of a silica abrasive.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1999Date of Patent: October 16, 2001Assignee: Enamelon, Inc.Inventors: Anthony E. Winston, Jordan Barth, Norman Usen

Patent number: 4663152Abstract: Functional agglomerated speckles, for incorporation in dentifrices, include agglomerates of a water insoluble powdered functional material and water insoluble, ethanol soluble ethyl cellulose. Such speckles satisfactorily maintain their integrity and identity during processing of the dentifrice after addition of the speckles to the main dentifrice body but on storage, after packaging of the dentifrice in dispensing tubes, soften sufficiently so as to become essentially impalpable to one utilizing the dentifrice in brushing his teeth. Despite such softening the speckles continue to maintain their identity as speckles in the dentifrice. The speckles are especially useful in translucent or transparent gel dentifrices which contain components, such as flavoring and surface active agents, which may controllably soften the speckles on storage.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1982Date of Patent: May 5, 1987Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive Co.Inventors: Jordan Barth, James Norfleet
