Preferred ester salts are those of calcium, sodium and magnesium e.g. calcium sucrose phosphate, calcium lactose phosphate and calcium glucose phosphate. The dentifrice may be liquid paste or powder and apart from conventional ingredients may contain fluorides in addition to the phosphate ester. The pharmaceutical preparation may be in the form of a tablet or lozenge. Sugar may be coated with the cariostatic agent. Specification 572,352 is referred to. |
