abstract |
Dental cream which readily disperses when agitated in the presence of water or saliva. The gel system of the dentifrice contains xanthan and an alginate in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 1:3, preferably about 3:1 to 1:1. The dental cream also has desirable texture or "feel" in the mouth and undergoes slow drainage of liquid from foam produced during toothbrushing. |
