The application relates to novel aqueous oral care compositions useful for combining and delivering incompatible stannous fluoride or stannous chloride or stannous pyrophosphate, potassium salts, and an amino acid (e.g., a basic amino acid) in a high-water composition, for example, to provide effective caries prevention, protection against dental erosion, and relief from dental hypersensitivity. Additionally, oral care compositions described here useful in order to naturally promote nitrate reduction from the oral microbiome, which can eventually result in systemic increases of nitric oxide in blood plasma, and can form part of an overall regimen to maintain or control blood pressure. Compositions comprise stannous fluoride, stannous chloride or stannous pyrophosphate, nitric acid or a water-soluble nitrate salt such as potassium nitrate, a water-soluble alkali metal polyphosphate such as tetrasodium pyrophosphate or trisodium polyphosphate, a basic amino aid such as arginine and more than 10 wt % water.

Described is a method for producing fluorapatite crystals, the method having the steps of: a) providing a first aqueous solution comprising a phosphate source and a fluoride source, said first aqueous solution being supersaturated with respect to the phosphate source and the fluoride source, b) providing a second aqueous solution comprising a calcium source, said second aqueous solution being unsaturated with respect to the calcium source, c) mixing the first aqueous solution and the second aqueous solution thereby providing a mixture containing fluorapatite crystals and a further aqueous solution, d) optionally stirring the mixture of step c), e) optionally heating the mixture of step c) and/or step d), f) separating the fluorapatite crystals from the further aqueous solution, g) optionally drying the fluoroapatite crystals of step f), and h) optionally milling the fluorapatite crystals obtained in step f) or step g).

The present invention relates to an antibacterial composition which, when applied to the surface of a tooth, allows remineralisation of the enamel to occur, said composition having very low toxicity for human use. When applied, the composition leaves no stains and does not alter the visible colour characteristics of the teeth to which it has been applied.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of dental caries comprising a fluoride varnish and an antibacterial substance as active ingredients. The fluoride varnish composition comprising xanthorrhizol, bakuchiol, bavachalcone, isobavachromene or bavachromene according to the present invention exhibits significant antibacterial activities against the strain Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), which causes dental caries. In particular, the composition exhibits remarkable antibacterial activities compared xanthorrhizol, bakuchiol, bavachalcone, isobavachromene, bavachromene or a fluoride varnish. Therefore, the fluoride varnish comprising xanthorrhizol, bakuchiol, bavachalcone, isobavachromene or bavachromene can be usefully used for prevention and treatment of dental caries.
