Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A oral care composition comprising a triple polymer system and a source of fluoride ions for combating (i.e. helping to prevent, inhibit and/or treat) dental erosion and/or tooth wear is described. Such compositions are also of use in combating dental caries.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of providing enhanced protection of teeth against dental erosion and/or toothwear comprising applying to teeth whose enamel has been softened by dietary acid an oral care composition comprising 0.05%-0.5% by weight sodium fluoride, 5% by weight potassium nitrate, and a triple polymer system consisting of 0.005% to 0.02% by weight xanthan gum, 0.1, to 0.4% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.5% to 1% by weight copovidone. 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the composition is in the form of a mouthwash. 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the pH of the composition is in the range 6.5, to 7.5.
