A transfer article includes an acrylate layer releasable from a release layer including a metal layer, a metal oxide layer, or a doped semiconductor layer at a release value of from 2 to 50 grams/inch (0.8 to 20 g/cm). A functional layer overlies the acrylate layer, wherein the functional layer includes at least one layer of a functional material selected to provide at least one of a therapeutic, aesthetic or cosmetic benefit on a dental appliance in a mouth of a patient, and wherein the transfer article has a thickness of less than 3 micrometers. A pattern of a transfer material is on a major surface of the functional layer, wherein the transfer material includes an adhesion modifying material chosen from release materials and adhesives.

An oral hygiene composition which relates to oral hygiene compositions. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a toothpaste which combines stannous fluoride and tea tree oil (Melaleuca). The composition prevents tooth decay and new cavity formation on enamel and dentin, reducing dentinal hypersensitivity when used regularly. The present disclosure helps prevent gum disease (Gingivitis) bad breath and improves oral hygiene and overall health.

Aspects relate to systems and methods for synergistic laser cleaning and whitening of teeth. In one aspect a system includes a laser system configured to perform a laser treatment on exposed tooth surfaces on a plurality of a patient's teeth, where the laser system includes a laser arrangement configured to generate a laser beam, an optical arrangement configured to direct the laser beam toward the exposed tooth surfaces, and a laser controller configured to control the laser beam to remove a pellicle from the exposed tooth surfaces, and a tray configured to apply a whitening agent to the exposed tooth surfaces after the laser treatment.
