20120020898 | NON-AQUEOUS DENTIFRICE COMPOSITION WITH BIOACCEPTABLE AND BIOACTIVE GLASS AND METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF - The invention encompasses non-aqueous dentifrice compositions containing a bioacceptable and bioactive glass with improved mouth-feel, foam, and product stability. More particularly, the invention encompasses non-aqueous compositions including combinations including carrageenan and/or carboxymethylcellulose gums, glycerin, ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers, and a bioactive glass and methods of use the compositions in an oral care product, for example, a whitening tooth-paste, for hypersensitive teeth. | 01-26-2012 |
20120020899 | ORAL COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING TOOTH SENSITIVITY AND METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF - The invention encompasses oral care compositions comprising one or more active component and one or more adhesive polymers, which cause the active component to adhere to the tooth surface. In certain embodiments the active agent is an occlusion agent. The invention also encompasses methods of treating the teeth or a teeth surface with an active agent. In certain embodiments, the invention encompasses treating the teeth with an occlusion agent to prevent or alleviate tooth sensitivity. | 01-26-2012 |
20120021031 | DUAL ACTION DENTIFRICE COMPOSITIONS TO PREVENT HYPERSENSITIVITY AND PROMOTE REMINERALIZATION - The invention encompasses combinations of bioactive glass composition and potassium salts that are useful in conjunction with delivery agent such as, for example, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and oral gels. In certain embodiments, the compositions of the invention form a rapid and continuous reaction with body fluids (e.g., saliva) to promote the immediate and long-tem release of Ca and P ions to produce a stable crystalline layer deposited onto and into the dentin tubules for the immediate and long term reduction of dentin hypersensitivity and tooth surface remineralization. | 01-26-2012 |
20120244091 | NON-AQUEOUS, SINGLE TUBE DENTRIFICE WHITENING COMPOSITIONS, METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF - This invention relates to oral care composition, methods of use and methods of manufacture thereof including a single-tube, non-aqueous dentifrice whitening composition containing at least an enzyme and a substrate. | 09-27-2012 |
20140335028 | HYDROPHOBIC TOOTH WHITENING SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - A tooth whitening system comprising a dental tray having a surface operable to confront a tooth surface, and a tooth whitening composition comprising a whitening agent and a hydrophobic polymer carrier. The tooth whitening composition is preferably substantially non-water soluble. A tooth whitening kit is also provided using a dental tray and the tooth whitening composition comprising a whitening composition and a hydrophobic polymer carrier. | 11-13-2014 |
