The invention relates to denture cleansing compositions, in tablet form, comprising a film-forming oil, an effervescence generator, from about 0.1 to about 3 % of a foam-forming surfactant, and a water-insoluble, wettable, particulate foam stabiliser having a weight average particle size of from about 20 to about 400 νm, the foam stabiliser having a Foam Stabilising Index of greater than 120. The compositions of the invention have high, prolonged foaming activity and help prevent plaque build-up on dentures or teeth. The tablets resist breakage and dissolve rapidly. |
