Patent number: 9139731Abstract: Disclosed are oral care compositions comprising selected surface-active organophosphate compounds and methods of use to provide protection of teeth from erosion caused by the action of chemicals, such as harsh abrasives and acids. The surface-active organophosphate compounds are substantive to teeth, the phosphate groups binding the calcium in teeth and thus preventing loss of calcium from dissolution when contacted with acids. The organophosphate compound may also deposit a protective surface coating that prevents contact of teeth with erosive challenges.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Arif Ali Baig, Robert Vincent Faller, George Endel Deckner
