<p>Oral compositions, such as oral gels and toothpastes, containing a novel abrasive. A dentifrice composition comprising: (a) a precipitated silica, said precipitated silica being a low structure precipitated silica having a narrow particle size range distribution of soft particles and having a mean particle size ranging from 8 to 14 microns, preferably from 7 to 11 microns, an oil absorption ranging from 60 to 120 cc/100g, and a mercury intrusion (HGI) void volume of 1.0 to 4.0 cc/g; said precipitated silica, when formulated into a dentifrice, having a Pellicle Cleaning Ratio (PCR) from 70 to 140 and a Radioactive Dentin Abrasion (RDA) value of from 60 to 130; and wherein the ratio of said PCR to said RDA is at least 1:1; and wherein, as the particle size in microns increases in said silica, the RDA value remains substantially constant; and (b) from 0.1 % to 99 % of an orally-acceptable dentifrice carrier.</p> |
