Abstract: A dentifrice composition having a low water phase comprising effective amounts of polyphosphate and ionic active ingredients.

Abstract: An oral care composition comprising (a) a silica abrasive having an average particle size of no greater than the diameter of a dentin tubule, or, alternatively 8 microns or less; (b) zinc citrate, (c) a bioadhesive agent, and (d) an anticalculus agent. The oral care composition can reduce or inhibit biofilm formation and/or dentinal hypersensitivity in an oral cavity.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions comprising combinations of metal salts, and methods of preparing and using the same.

Abstract: A dental fluoride foam composition comprising an aqueous solution of a water soluble fluoride ion releasable salt, a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, betaine surfactants and mixtures thereof; and an orally compatible acidifying agent in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the composition to about 3 to about 5. The composition is stable at low temperatures and is a clear solution substantially free of precipitates when held at 4.4° C. for 12 hours. When dispensed from a container into the trough of a dental tray, the composition forms a low density, rapidly collapsible foam which substantially liquefies in about 1 minute after being dispensed from the foam generating container and placed in contact with a patient's teeth.

Abstract: Flavour components for use in oral care compositions containing a metal salt, compositions comprising the flavour components, and methods of making and using the same. The flavour components comprise a taste -masking agent comprising cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol and eucalyptol and one or more flavouring agents selected from L-menthol, N-ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide, anethole, peppermint oil, spearmint oil and corn mint oil. In particular the metal salt is zinc citrate.

Abstract: A two component desensitizing dentifrice composition, having reduced astringency and enhanced taste is disclosed which comprises a first aqueous dentifrice component containing a desensitizing potassium salt, having a water content greater than 44% by weight; and a second anhydrous dentifrice component containing a stannous salt, the first and second dentifrice components being maintained separate from each other until dispensed for application to the teeth.
