Facile Preparation of Ultrafine Aluminum Hydroxide Particles with or without Mesoporous MCM-41 in Ambient Environments

An aqueous suspension of nanogibbsite was synthesized via the titration of aluminum aqua acid [Al(H2O)6]3+ with L-arginine to pH 4.6. Since the hydrolysis ...

Colgate Simply White Clear Whitening Gel, an at-home tooth-whitening product purchased over the counter, contains 18% carbamide peroxide (equivalent to 6.5% hydrogen peroxide) as the active ingredient in a brush-applied liquid gel. The excipients include ingredients commonly used in dentifrices. The potential for effects on the tooth pulp, oral soft tissue irritation, enamel damage, and tooth sensitivity with this peroxide-containing product have been evaluated. An in vitro study demonstrated that pulpal chamber hydrogen peroxide levels are well below those considered to cause an effect on pulpal tissue. An exaggerated-use (4 applications per day for 3 weeks) clinical study showed that no oral irritation occurred during 3 weeks of use. A study measuring peroxide salivary concentration after use of Colgate Simply White Clear Whitening Gel showed that the concentration of peroxide in the saliva after use of the product was extremely low, further supporting the position that this product has a low potential for causing oral irritation. Additional studies demonstrate that Colgate Simply White Clear Whitening Gel does not harm the enamel surface or produce demineralization after exposure equivalent to 3 weeks of normal use and over 6 weeks of exaggerated use. Colgate Simply White Clear Whitening Gel has not produced oral irritation (hard and soft tissues) or tooth hypersensitivity in a clinical subject population of 141 individuals using varying treatment regimens. These studies prove that Colgate Simply White Clear Whitening Gel is safe for daily use as directed.

Safety profile of a new liquid whitening gel.

Limited data are available to assess the safety of high levels of hydrogen peroxide in overnight tooth-whitening formulas. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of hydrogen peroxide on enamel microhardness, pulp penetration, and enamel morphology.

High levels of hydrogen peroxide in overnight tooth-whitening formulas: effects on enamel and pulp.

To ascertain the mode of action of a new Pro-Argin formula desensitizing dentifrice with a gentle whitening benefit containing 8.0% arginine, a high cleaning calcium carbonate system and sodium monofluorophosphate, utilizing a range of state-of-the-art surface techniques.

Mode of action studies on a new desensitizing dentifrice containing 8.0% arginine, a high cleaning calcium carbonate system and 1450 ppm fluoride.

To evaluate the laboratory dentin occlusion efficacy and effects on dentin permeability of a new multi-benefit dentifrice in order to gain insight into the mechanism of action of a novel technology for dentin hypersensitivity relief based on a specially-designed silica and copolymer system.

Anti-hypersensitivity mechanism of action for a dentifrice containing 0.3% triclosan, 2.0% PVM/MA copolymer, 0.243% NaF and specially-designed silica.

The mode of action of an arginine mouthwash using the Pro-Argin™ Mouthwash Technology, containing 0.8% arginine, PVM/MA copolymer, pyrophosphates and 0.05% sodium fluoride, has been proposed and confirmed as occlusion using a variety of in vitro techniques.

Mode of action studies of a new desensitizing mouthwash containing 0.8% arginine, PVM/MA copolymer, pyrophosphates, and 0.05% sodium fluoride.

To investigate the possible mode of action of a dentifrice containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate (Pro-Argin Technology), and sodium monofluorophosphate in delivering the benefits of preventing acid erosion and rehardening acid-softened enamel.

In vitro study of the effect of a dentifrice containing 8% arginine, calcium carbonate, and sodium monofluorophosphate on acid-softened enamel.

A novel water-soluble cationic zinc lysine coordination compound, [Zn[(C6H14N2O2)]2Cl]Cl·2H2O (1), has been designed and synthesized and its crystal structure determined. The aqueous solution of this coordination compound is not only transparent and stable at room temperature but it is also nearly neutral (pH ∼ 7). It is worth noting that zinc oxide (ZnO) forms in situ upon dilution of a solution of the compound. The bioactivity of ZnO has been confirmed using an Alarma Blue assay. These unique properties allow the coordination compound to gently grow ZnO coating with excellent antibacterial benefits onto biomaterial surfaces in a facile and safe manner.
