Abstract
Film forming compositions and methods for preventing stains and increasing shine and gloss of teeth. The film forming compositions may include a polymer, such as a hydrophobic polymer, and an orally acceptable solvent. The hydrophobic polymer may include an acrylate component and a hydrophobic group coupled with one another. The hydrophobic group may include an alkyl chain, a polyethylene glycol, a polypropylene, a polyester, a polyorthoester, a phospholipid, a long chain fatty acid, a vinyl chloride, fluorethylene, a siloxane, a urethane, an octylacrylamide, a butylaminoethyl, a styrene, and combinations thereof.
Claims23
A film forming composition for preventing stains or increasing shine and gloss of teeth, the film forming composition comprising:
- a polymer, wherein the polymer is a copolymer of octylacrylamide and one or more monomers, wherein the one or more monomers comprises one or more of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and any simple ester thereof, wherein the polymer is present in an amount of about 15 weight % to about 35 weight %;
- an orally acceptable solvent, wherein the orally acceptable solvent comprises ethanol in a concentration of at least 74 wt %;
- and
- a whitening agent comprising a peroxide oxidizing agent.

14-15. (canceled)
A method for preventing stains on teeth, or for increasing shine and gloss of teeth, the method comprising:
- applying a film forming composition to surfaces of the teeth, the film forming composition comprising:
- a polymer, wherein the polymer is a copolymer of octylacrylamide and one or more monomers, wherein the one or more monomers comprises one or more of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and any simple ester thereof, wherein the polymer is present in an amount of about 15 weight % to about 35 weight %;
- an orally acceptable solvent, wherein the orally acceptable solvent comprises ethanol in a concentration of at least 74 wt %;
- and
- a whitening agent comprising a peroxide oxidizing agent;
- wherein the film forming composition is applied using a whitening pen.
