  • Patent number: 5009886
    Abstract: The disclosed dentifrice is comprised of micro-sized particles or microfibers of nondeleterious organic plant components, specifically the branches or roots of trees, botanically known as the azadirachta or salvadora persica, and commonly known in different parts of the world as the peelu, miswaak, neem or siwak tree. The dentifrice is otherwise void of any and all mineral abrasives commonly used in dentifrice.
