Oral care compositions comprising dicarboxy functionalized polyorganosiloxanes

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating and modifying surfaces and for enhancing delivery of active agents to surfaces treated with the compositions, which comprise siloxane polymers functionalized with pendant moieties comprising anionic groups, specifically carboxylic acid groups. When applied to a suitable surface, the present composition comprising the carboxy functionalized siloxane polymers forms a substantially hydrophobic coating on the treated surface. These polymers effectively deposit on surfaces that have cationic sites, which are capable of forming bonds or linkages with the anionic groups of the polymer. The treated surface becomes hydrophobic due to the deposition of the carboxy functionalized siloxane polymer, which then imparts a variety of end use benefits to that surface such as ease of cleaning, stain removal and prevention, whitening, etc. The carboxy functionalized siloxane polymer further acts as a carrier to deposit active agents onto the surface and to improve retention and efficacy of said actives on the treated surface. The present compositions are useful in a variety of applications including oral care, hair and skin care, personal care, cosmetics, and fabric and hard surface cleaning and conditioning. Examples are oral compositions for use in cleaning and whitening of natural teeth and dental prosthesis; for preventing, reducing or removing plaque, calculus and surface deposited stains on teeth; and for providing shine, smoothness and positive feel benefits to teeth, the compositions comprising at least about 0.1% by weight of a dicarboxy functionalized siloxane polymer in a formulation that effectively deposits the polymer to teeth and other oral surfaces.

Dentifrice compositions

The present invention relates to oral care compositions which provide a means to deliver actives which are useful in the prevention, treatment and / or management of dental and related tissue conditions, including dental caries, dental cavities, microbial flora, tartar, periodontal and related gum disease. In addition, the present invention may be used in the healthy maintenance of teeth and gums. Further aspects of the present invention are related to the present compositions being useful to whiten teeth and otherwise favorably impact the cosmetic appeal of the teeth and gums of a subject or patient. A further aspect of the present invention is directed to the inclusion of effective amounts of colostrum in dental care compositions for the unexpectedly high efficacy such formulations provide in inhibiting, reducing or otherwise preventing microbial growth, dental caries, plaque, cavities and gum disease, including periodontal disease. The use of colustrum with other enzymes as otherwise described herein represents a particularly preferred embodiment for use in the present invention because of the unexpected antimicrobial activity exhibited by the enzyme combination.

The present invention is directed to oral care systems having an oral care tool and a first software application. The oral care tool includes a cleaning module, a sensing module and a communications module. The first software application is run on a computing device, such as a mobile computing device, that receives the data from the sensing module and reproduces a simulated image reflecting the result of brushing. The mobile computing device can be linked to a cloud server that receives data from the first software application and saves detailed brushing data for each user. The first software application visualizes brushing and transforms brush into fun game. The cloud server collects and stores the detailed brushing data and provides it to users and care providers.

Illuminated electric toothbrushes emitting high luminous intensity toothbrush

An illuminated electric toothbrush comprising a light emitting diode emitting light having a flux density of at least about 30 mW / cm2. An illuminated electric toothbrush having this level of flux density can result in an oral care benefit such as whitening. When this toothbrush is used within the oral cavity the heat generated by the toothbrush remains low enough that the surface temperature of the teeth remains below about 43° C. The flux density of at least about 30 mW / cm2 can be achieved by overpowering the light emitting diode, by using a light emitting diode having at least about two dices, and by providing a pulsed or non-continuous current to the LED which results in a pulsing or non-continuous light.
