DENTAL CREAM COMPOSITION

摘要

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 "It has been found that mixtures of xanthan and alginate binding agent have pseudoplastic viscosity properties which provide desirable non-stringy, easy dispersion character to dental creams containing xanthan and alginate in a broad ratio to each other while also providing desirable texture or "feel" when dispersed in the oral cavity." The dental cream also undergoes slow drainage of liquid from foam produced during toothbrushing.
