  • Compositions and methods for preventing dental stain
    Publication number: 20060159631
    Abstract: This invention relates to compounds and their use in oral hygiene compositions as anti-stain, anti-calculus, anti-bacterial, and anti-malodor agents. These agents are characterized by having two basic building blocks, one with the ability to strongly bind to the tooth surface by containing a functional group that allows the molecule to adsorb to the surface of teeth, the other by having a number of chemical moieties that are capable of binding strongly to water, preferably, to at least two water molecules.
