DENTIFRICE COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING .BETA.-PHASE CALCIUM PYROPHOSPHATE, AN ANTICALCULUS AGENT, AND FLUORIDE

摘要

Disclosed are dentifrice compositions comprising from about 30% to about 45% of .beta.-phase calcium pyrophosphate, an anticalculus agent, a soluble fluoride ion source capable of providing from about 50 ppm to about 3500 ppm of free fluoride ions, and one or more aqueous carriers. The anticalculu s agent may be a polyphosphonate source, a polyphosphate source, or a pyrophosphate source.
