TECHNICAL FIELD
5The present invention relates to denti~ice ~ompositions such as toothraete~, which provide improved oral cleaning.
BACKGROUND OF THE I~VENTION
A s~ti~f~ctory dentifrice composition should have a cosmetic effeet upon the lteeth, namely, keeping them light colored. It shou~d also clean and remo~te debris as l~ell, thereby aiding the prevention of tooth decay and promoting gingival health.
Abrasives aid in the removal of the tightly adherent pellicle film. This ~ m usually comprises a thin acellular, glycoprotein-mucoprotein coating which adhleres to the enamel within minutes a~Ler teeth are cleaned. The presence of various food pigrnents lodged within the film accounts for mos~ instances of teeth disc~loration.
]:deally, an abrasive should provide s~ticf~ctory removal (cleaning) of the pellicle film ~vith minim~l damage (abrasion) to oral tissue, i.e. tlle dentin and enamel.
Beyond the pellicle cleaning aspect, incorporating an antiplaque agent(s) provides additional benefits. The formation of dental plaque is the priman~ .source of clerltal caries, gingival and periodontal disease, and tooth loss. Plaque is a mixed rnatrix of bacteria, epithelial cells, leukocytes, macrophages and other oral: exudate 1'he bacteria associated with plaque can secrete enzymes and endotoxins ~A~hieh can ilTitate the gums and cause an infl~mm~tory gingivitis. As the gums blecome increasingly irritated by this process, they have a tendency to bleed, lose their toughness and resiliency, and separate from the teeth. This separation results in periodontal pockets leading in turn to fi~rther accumulation of debris, secretiorls, and more bacteria/toxins. This process eventually leads to destruction of both the hard and so~ tissue of the oral cavity.
The use of a variety of agents to clean the oral cavity and reduce plaq-le and mo~th malodor has been recognized for some time.

While the prior art discloses a variety of silica compositions useful as dental 20 cleaning abrasives, there is still a need for additional compositions providing improved cleaning with minim~l abrasion. The present inventor has discovered amorphous silica abrasive compositions comprising precipitated and gel silicas providing improved dental cleaning with minim~l abrasion.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for the prevention or removal tooth stains. A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for the prevention or removal of plaque. These and other objects will become readily 30 appal enl from the disclosure which follows.

The present invention further relates to dentifrice compositions cont:3inin~

All percentages and ratios herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
PlCR and RDA are unitless. Additionally, all measurements are made at 25~C unless ol:herwise specified.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE TNVENTION
By "safe and effective amount," as used herein, means a sufficient a.mount to reduce stain and/or plaque/gingivitis without harming the tissues and structures of the oral cavity.
By the term "orally-acceptable carrier," as used herein, means a suitable vehicle which can be used to apply the present compositions to the oral cavity in a safe and effective manner.
The pH of the present herein described compositions range from about 4.0 to about 9.5, with the preferred pH being from about 6.5 to about 9.0 and the most CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 plefellèd pH being 7.0 to about 9Ø
The escenti~1 as well as optional components of the compositions of the present invention are described in the following paragraphs.
Abrasive The precipil~ted silicas of the present invention provide unique Radioactive Dentin Abrasion (RDA) values in the dentifrice compositions of the present invention and are characterized by having a mean value particle size (MV) as measured on aMicrotrac Particle Analyzer, in the range of 8 to 14 microns and more preferablyfrom 8-10 microns. The mean value (MV) particle size takes into account skewed o particle sizes and speaks to distribution of the particle. Thus, as the mean particle size increases over the range of 8-14 microns as disclosêd herein, it would be expected that the RDA would also increase. However, the RDA of these silicas is relatively lower and remains relatively constant or increases at a slower rate. These silicas also have good fluoride compatibility.
Certain of these precipitated silicas can also be characterized as agglomerated or cohered silicas wherein subparticles are cohesively bound together during theprocess of acit~ tion and/or curing to form the agglomerated precipitated silicas having the mean particle size of 8 to 14 microns. Preferably greater than about 2%, more preferably greater than about 5%, even more preferably greater than about 10%
20 and most preferably greater than about 15% by weight of the precipitated silica particles of the present invention are made up of these agglomerates. Agglomeration is not a result of the addition of a binding agent to the process, but rather is a natural agglomeration caused by physical binding characteristics of the subparticles. It is theorized that during digestion and subsequent curing, the particles of silica become 2s more uniform in size by a process of cohesion of smaller particles and breaking apart of large agglomerates.
It is therefore theorized that when used in dentifrice formulations, the agglomerated particles break down during the brushing process when in contact with dentin or enamel so that the precipitated silica particles appear to be softer particles 30 when used in the dentifrice formulations. This property, when considered with the fact that thê precipitated silicas already possess lower RDA values than prior art silicas, provides dentifrice compositions with increased cleaning but lower abrasiveness. Therefore, a feature of the precipitated silicas of the invention is that they are agglomerated precipitated amorphous silicas of substantially uniform particle 35 size and having mean particles sizes of 8 to 14 microns, and more preferably from 8 to 10 microns, and which have reduced RDA values as compared to the prior art.
A feature of these precipitated silicas is the relationship of the mean particle CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 WO 96l/34592 PCT~S'~6/~5496 $ize and exhibited RDA. The precipitated silica.s of the invention have a mean ~article size of 8-14 microns and also unexpectedly have a relatively lower abrasivity or hardness. This relatively lower abrasivity for a low structure silica is u~ique to the l~ie~ Led silicas ofthe invention.
The precipitated silicas of the invention are Low Structure silicas in accordance with the definitions set forth in the J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 2'J., 497-521 (August, 1978), and Pigment Handbook: Volume 1, Properties and Economics, 'iecond Edition, Edited by Peter A. Lewis, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 19~,8, p. 139-~L 59. Further, the precipitated silicas may be characterized as having an oil absorption ranging from 60 to 120 cc/lOOg and preferably 80 to 100 cc/lOOg, morepreferably about 90 cc/lOOg. The silicas may also be characterized as having ~ BET
s;urface area in the range of 50 to 250 m2/g.
A further feature of the precipitated amorphous silicas of the inventi:on is theporosity as determined by mercury intrusion (HGI) void volume measurementC,. Thesilicas of this invention have mercury intrusion values in the range of 1.0 to 4.0 cc/g a.nd. preferably 1.5 to 2.5 cc/g. A further feature of the precipitated silicas of the vention resides in the pH which ranges from 4.0 to 8.5 and preferably fi-om 6.5 to .5~ as measured in a 5% aqueous slurry.
The Pellicle Cleaning Ratio (PCR) of the inventive silica, which is a measurement of the cleaning characteristics of a dentifrice, ranges from 70 to 140 and preferably from 100 to 130 for the precipitated silica of the invenl:ion. The Radioactive Dentin Abrasion (RDA) of the inventive silicas, which is a measurement of the abrasiveness of the precipitated silicas of the invention when incorpor,ated into a dentifrice, ranges from 60 to 130, preferably from 60 to 100, and more preferably fi-om 80 to 90.
The silicas of the invention may also be characterized as having a pour density r;mging from 12-16 Ib./ft3, a pack density ranging from 25-30 Ib./ft3 and medianaverage particle size ranging from 7.0 to 11Ø
These silicas, when incorporated into a dentifrice composition provide an irnproved PCR/RDA ratio. The PCR/RDA ratio is used to determine the relative ratio of cleaning and abrasion characteristics of a dentifrice fo~rmulation.
Cornmercially available dentifrice formulations generally have a PCR/RDA ratio in the range of 0.5 to below 1Ø The precipitated silicas used in the compositions of the present invention provide PCR to RDA ratios to dentifrice formulations of greater than 1, usually in the range of 1.1 to 1.9, but more preferably in the range 1.:2 to 1.9.
The precipiLated silicas of the invention are preferably characterized as s~mthetic hydrated amorphous silicas, also known as silicon dioxides or SiO2. This CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 wo 96/34592 PCT/USg6/05496 definition is intptl~led to include gels and hybrids of silicas such as Geltates.
The RDA (Radioactive Dentin Abrasion) values are determined according to the method set forth by Hefferren, Journal of Dental Research~ July-August 1976,pp. 563-573, and described in the Wason U.S. Patent Nos. 4,340,583, 4,420,312 and 4,421,527, which publication and patents are incorporated herein by reference.
The PCR (Pellicle Cleaning Ratio) cleaning values are determined by a slightly modified version of the PCR test described in "In Vitro Removal of Stain With Dentifrice", G. K. Stookey, T.A. Burkhard and B. R. Schemerhorn, J. Dental Research, 61, 1236-9, 1982. Cleaning is ~sessed in vitro by use of the modified o pellicle cleaning ratio test. This test is identical to that described by Stookey et al.
with the following modifications: (1) a clear artificial pellicle film is applied to bovine chips prior to application of the stained film, (2) solution heating is used rather than radiative heating during film application, (3) the number of brush strokes is reduced to 200 strokes and (4) the slurry concentration is I part dentifrice to 3 parts water.
In the present specification, oil absorption is measured using the ASTM rub-out method D281. Surface area is determined by the BET nitrogen adsorption method of Brunaur et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.~ 60, 309 (1938). To measure brightn.oss, fine powder materials that are pressed into a smooth surfaced pellet are evaluated using a Technidyne Brightimeter S-S/BC. This instrument has a dual beam optical system where the sample is illuminated at a angle of 45~, and the reflected light viewed at 0~. It conforms to TAPPI test methods T452 and T646, and ASTM
Standard D985. A series of filters direct to reflected light of desired wavelengths to a photocell where it is converted to an output voltage. This signal is amplified and then processed by an internal microcomputer for display and printout.
The average particle size (mean value and median or 50%) is measured using a Microtrac II apparatus, Leeds and Northrup. Specifically, a laser beam is projected through a transparent cell which contains a stream of moving particles suspended in a liquid. Lights rays which strike the particles are scattered through angles which are inversely proportional to their sizes. The photodetector array measures the quantity of light at several predetermined angles. Electrical signals proportional to themeasured light flux values are then processed by a microcomputer system to form a multi-channel histogram of the particle size distribution.
The pore volumes (mercury pore volume) are determined using an Autopore II 9220 Porosimeter (Micromeritics Corporation). This instrument measures the void volume and pore size distribution of various materials. Mercury is forced into the voids as a function of pressure and the volume of mercury intruded per gram of sample is calculated at each pressure setting. Total pore volume expressed herein CA 0222010~ 1997-10~31 WO 96t34592 PCT/U~96/OS496 rel)rese..l~ the cum~ tive volume of mercury intruded at pressures from v~cuum to ~iO,000 psi. Increments in volume (cc/g) at each pressure setting are plotted against the pore radius corresponding to the pressure setting increments. The pleak in the i~ltruded volume versus pore radius curve corresponds to the mode in the pore size 5 distribution. It identifies the most common pore size in the sample.
Bulk density is measured by measuring the volume in liters occupiecl by a ~;ven weight ofthe abrasive and is reported in pounds per cubic foot.
The silicas can be further characterized using a Einlehner At-1000 .~brader to measure the softness of the silicas in the following manner: A Fourdrinier wire screen is weighed and exposed to the action of a 10% aqueous silica suspem~,ion for a certain length of time. The amount of abrasion is then determined as rnilligrams~eight lost of the Fourdrinier wire screen per 100,000 revolutions Brass E inlehner (lBE) results are expressed in milligrams.
The silicas preferably possess a BE of less than about 7 and preferably 5 between 2 and 5.
These precipitated silicas are prepared by a. fresh water acidulation process ~rherein silica (silicon dioxide or SiO2) is precipitated by reaction of an alkali metal silicate and a mineral acid in aqueous solution. The alkali metal silicate rnay be any alka.li metal silicate, but sodium silicate is plt;felled. While any mineral acicl may be 20 used in the process, sulfuric acid is a prefe"~d reactant.
It is a feature of the invention that the process of preparation is a *esh waterpirocess, that is, no electrolyte such as alum, Na2SO4, or NaCI, is present dllring the reaction.
In the p,~felled process, an aqueous sodium silicate solution is provided 25 wherein the sodium silicate is present in a concentration of about 8.0 to 3S weight percent, preferably 8.0 to 15 weight percent. The Na2O:SiO2 ratio in the silicate solution should range from about I to 3.5:1 and preferably from 2.5 to 3.4:1. The sulfi~ric acid reactant will preferably have a concentration of about 6 to 35~~, in water, pre~erably about 9.0 to 15 weight percent.
In the pl~fel-ed procedure, a small portion of the sodium silicate solution is charged to a reactor for reaction with the sulfuric acid and the remaincler of the silic,ate. In the p- efel, ed embodiment, only about 1 to 5% of the total stoic:hiornetric amount of sodium silicate solution, preferably about 2%, should be initially placed in thie reactor to serve as initiating nuclei for the silica. This aqueous solution of sodium silicate is then preheated to a temperature in the range of about 80 to 90~C with agitation prior to the addition of the sulfuric acid and rern~inder of sodiurn silicate.
Agitation may be provided by conventional stirring of agitation equipment.
CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 Thereafter with continued agitation, the remainder of the sodium silicate and sulfuric acid are separately slowly added to the reactor over a limited period of time. In the ple~.l~:d embodiment, the sodium silicate is metered into the reaction mixture at the rate of about 7 to 12 liters per minute and, more preferably, at the specific rate of 8.94 liters per minute. The sulfuric acid is metered into the reactor at the rate of about 1 to 4 liters per minute but more preferably at the rate of about 2.95 liters per minute.
The sodium silicate solution and sulfuric acid are metered into the sodium silicate solution in the reactor over an addition time of about 40 to 60 minutes, but 0 prc~relably over a 50 minute addition time. At the end of this addition time at which point the silica has precipitated, the sodium silicate solution addition is stopped but sulfilric acid addition is continued with agitation until a final pH of 5.0 to 5.8 is obtained in the reactor. At this stage, the silica has precipitated to provide a mixture of the precipitated silica and the reaction liquor.
After precipitation of the silica and lowering of the pH of the mixture, the reaction mixture is then subjected to digestion and curing. Digestion is carried out by raising the temperature of the mixture to a temperature of 90~ to 98~C, preferably about 95~ to 98~C, with continued agitation, over a residence time of about 5 minllte~S to an hour preferably about 10 to 30 minutes.
Thereafter, the product is cured by further raising the temperature of the mixture to a temperature in the range of about 100~C with continued agitation so as to boil the reaction mixture over a cure time of about one-half hour to about two hours, preferably about 30 minlltes to 80 minutec, more preferably about 1 hour.Digestion and curing procedures are critical features of the invention.
2s On completion of the reaction, the pH is again adjusted to about 5.0, and reaction mixture is filtered and washed with water to remove salts from the filter cake. The filter cake is then dried, preferably by conventional spray drying to produce a precipitated silica containing about 3 to 10% moisture. If necessary, the plecipilaled silica may be milled to desired particle size by adjusting milling 30 conditions. Because of the uniqueness of the process, milling conditions are easily adjusted to produce silica particles of desired mean values.
Preferred precipitated silica materials include those available from the J.M.
Huber Corporation under the tradename, "Zeodent", particularly the silica carrying the designation "Zeodent 128".

TECHNICAL FIELD
5The present invention relates to denti~ice ~ompositions such as toothraete~, which provide improved oral cleaning.
BACKGROUND OF THE I~VENTION
A s~ti~f~ctory dentifrice composition should have a cosmetic effeet upon the lteeth, namely, keeping them light colored. It shou~d also clean and remo~te debris as l~ell, thereby aiding the prevention of tooth decay and promoting gingival health.
Abrasives aid in the removal of the tightly adherent pellicle film. This ~ m usually comprises a thin acellular, glycoprotein-mucoprotein coating which adhleres to the enamel within minutes a~Ler teeth are cleaned. The presence of various food pigrnents lodged within the film accounts for mos~ instances of teeth disc~loration.
]:deally, an abrasive should provide s~ticf~ctory removal (cleaning) of the pellicle film ~vith minim~l damage (abrasion) to oral tissue, i.e. tlle dentin and enamel.
Beyond the pellicle cleaning aspect, incorporating an antiplaque agent(s) provides additional benefits. The formation of dental plaque is the priman~ .source of clerltal caries, gingival and periodontal disease, and tooth loss. Plaque is a mixed rnatrix of bacteria, epithelial cells, leukocytes, macrophages and other oral: exudate 1'he bacteria associated with plaque can secrete enzymes and endotoxins ~A~hieh can ilTitate the gums and cause an infl~mm~tory gingivitis. As the gums blecome increasingly irritated by this process, they have a tendency to bleed, lose their toughness and resiliency, and separate from the teeth. This separation results in periodontal pockets leading in turn to fi~rther accumulation of debris, secretiorls, and more bacteria/toxins. This process eventually leads to destruction of both the hard and so~ tissue of the oral cavity.
The use of a variety of agents to clean the oral cavity and reduce plaq-le and mo~th malodor has been recognized for some time.

While the prior art discloses a variety of silica compositions useful as dental 20 cleaning abrasives, there is still a need for additional compositions providing improved cleaning with minim~l abrasion. The present inventor has discovered amorphous silica abrasive compositions comprising precipitated and gel silicas providing improved dental cleaning with minim~l abrasion.
Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a precipitated2s silica and gel silica compositions providing improved pellicle cleaning without a corresponding increase in dentin or enamel abrasion. Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for the prevention or removal tooth stains. A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for the prevention or removal of plaque. These and other objects will become readily 30 appal enl from the disclosure which follows.

The present invention further relates to dentifrice compositions cont:3inin~
these abrasives and to a method of cleaning teeth reducing plaque, gingivitis and calculus using the above compositions.
All percentages and ratios herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
PlCR and RDA are unitless. Additionally, all measurements are made at 25~C unless ol:herwise specified.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE TNVENTION
By "safe and effective amount," as used herein, means a sufficient a.mount to reduce stain and/or plaque/gingivitis without harming the tissues and structures of the oral cavity.
By the term "orally-acceptable carrier," as used herein, means a suitable vehicle which can be used to apply the present compositions to the oral cavity in a safe and effective manner.
The pH of the present herein described compositions range from about 4.0 to about 9.5, with the preferred pH being from about 6.5 to about 9.0 and the most CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 plefellèd pH being 7.0 to about 9Ø
The escenti~1 as well as optional components of the compositions of the present invention are described in the following paragraphs.
Abrasive The precipil~ted silicas of the present invention provide unique Radioactive Dentin Abrasion (RDA) values in the dentifrice compositions of the present invention and are characterized by having a mean value particle size (MV) as measured on aMicrotrac Particle Analyzer, in the range of 8 to 14 microns and more preferablyfrom 8-10 microns. The mean value (MV) particle size takes into account skewed o particle sizes and speaks to distribution of the particle. Thus, as the mean particle size increases over the range of 8-14 microns as disclosêd herein, it would be expected that the RDA would also increase. However, the RDA of these silicas is relatively lower and remains relatively constant or increases at a slower rate. These silicas also have good fluoride compatibility.
Certain of these precipitated silicas can also be characterized as agglomerated or cohered silicas wherein subparticles are cohesively bound together during theprocess of acit~ tion and/or curing to form the agglomerated precipitated silicas having the mean particle size of 8 to 14 microns. Preferably greater than about 2%, more preferably greater than about 5%, even more preferably greater than about 10%
20 and most preferably greater than about 15% by weight of the precipitated silica particles of the present invention are made up of these agglomerates. Agglomeration is not a result of the addition of a binding agent to the process, but rather is a natural agglomeration caused by physical binding characteristics of the subparticles. It is theorized that during digestion and subsequent curing, the particles of silica become 2s more uniform in size by a process of cohesion of smaller particles and breaking apart of large agglomerates.
It is therefore theorized that when used in dentifrice formulations, the agglomerated particles break down during the brushing process when in contact with dentin or enamel so that the precipitated silica particles appear to be softer particles 30 when used in the dentifrice formulations. This property, when considered with the fact that thê precipitated silicas already possess lower RDA values than prior art silicas, provides dentifrice compositions with increased cleaning but lower abrasiveness. Therefore, a feature of the precipitated silicas of the invention is that they are agglomerated precipitated amorphous silicas of substantially uniform particle 35 size and having mean particles sizes of 8 to 14 microns, and more preferably from 8 to 10 microns, and which have reduced RDA values as compared to the prior art.
A feature of these precipitated silicas is the relationship of the mean particle CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 WO 96l/34592 PCT~S'~6/~5496 $ize and exhibited RDA. The precipitated silica.s of the invention have a mean ~article size of 8-14 microns and also unexpectedly have a relatively lower abrasivity or hardness. This relatively lower abrasivity for a low structure silica is u~ique to the l~ie~ Led silicas ofthe invention.
The precipitated silicas of the invention are Low Structure silicas in accordance with the definitions set forth in the J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 2'J., 497-521 (August, 1978), and Pigment Handbook: Volume 1, Properties and Economics, 'iecond Edition, Edited by Peter A. Lewis, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 19~,8, p. 139-~L 59. Further, the precipitated silicas may be characterized as having an oil absorption ranging from 60 to 120 cc/lOOg and preferably 80 to 100 cc/lOOg, morepreferably about 90 cc/lOOg. The silicas may also be characterized as having ~ BET
s;urface area in the range of 50 to 250 m2/g.
A further feature of the precipitated amorphous silicas of the inventi:on is theporosity as determined by mercury intrusion (HGI) void volume measurementC,. Thesilicas of this invention have mercury intrusion values in the range of 1.0 to 4.0 cc/g a.nd. preferably 1.5 to 2.5 cc/g. A further feature of the precipitated silicas of the vention resides in the pH which ranges from 4.0 to 8.5 and preferably fi-om 6.5 to .5~ as measured in a 5% aqueous slurry.
The Pellicle Cleaning Ratio (PCR) of the inventive silica, which is a measurement of the cleaning characteristics of a dentifrice, ranges from 70 to 140 and preferably from 100 to 130 for the precipitated silica of the invenl:ion. The Radioactive Dentin Abrasion (RDA) of the inventive silicas, which is a measurement of the abrasiveness of the precipitated silicas of the invention when incorpor,ated into a dentifrice, ranges from 60 to 130, preferably from 60 to 100, and more preferably fi-om 80 to 90.
The silicas of the invention may also be characterized as having a pour density r;mging from 12-16 Ib./ft3, a pack density ranging from 25-30 Ib./ft3 and medianaverage particle size ranging from 7.0 to 11Ø
These silicas, when incorporated into a dentifrice composition provide an irnproved PCR/RDA ratio. The PCR/RDA ratio is used to determine the relative ratio of cleaning and abrasion characteristics of a dentifrice fo~rmulation.
Cornmercially available dentifrice formulations generally have a PCR/RDA ratio in the range of 0.5 to below 1Ø The precipitated silicas used in the compositions of the present invention provide PCR to RDA ratios to dentifrice formulations of greater than 1, usually in the range of 1.1 to 1.9, but more preferably in the range 1.:2 to 1.9.
The precipiLated silicas of the invention are preferably characterized as s~mthetic hydrated amorphous silicas, also known as silicon dioxides or SiO2. This CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 wo 96/34592 PCT/USg6/05496 definition is intptl~led to include gels and hybrids of silicas such as Geltates.
The RDA (Radioactive Dentin Abrasion) values are determined according to the method set forth by Hefferren, Journal of Dental Research~ July-August 1976,pp. 563-573, and described in the Wason U.S. Patent Nos. 4,340,583, 4,420,312 and 4,421,527, which publication and patents are incorporated herein by reference.
The PCR (Pellicle Cleaning Ratio) cleaning values are determined by a slightly modified version of the PCR test described in "In Vitro Removal of Stain With Dentifrice", G. K. Stookey, T.A. Burkhard and B. R. Schemerhorn, J. Dental Research, 61, 1236-9, 1982. Cleaning is ~sessed in vitro by use of the modified o pellicle cleaning ratio test. This test is identical to that described by Stookey et al.
with the following modifications: (1) a clear artificial pellicle film is applied to bovine chips prior to application of the stained film, (2) solution heating is used rather than radiative heating during film application, (3) the number of brush strokes is reduced to 200 strokes and (4) the slurry concentration is I part dentifrice to 3 parts water.
In the present specification, oil absorption is measured using the ASTM rub-out method D281. Surface area is determined by the BET nitrogen adsorption method of Brunaur et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.~ 60, 309 (1938). To measure brightn.oss, fine powder materials that are pressed into a smooth surfaced pellet are evaluated using a Technidyne Brightimeter S-S/BC. This instrument has a dual beam optical system where the sample is illuminated at a angle of 45~, and the reflected light viewed at 0~. It conforms to TAPPI test methods T452 and T646, and ASTM
Standard D985. A series of filters direct to reflected light of desired wavelengths to a photocell where it is converted to an output voltage. This signal is amplified and then processed by an internal microcomputer for display and printout.
The average particle size (mean value and median or 50%) is measured using a Microtrac II apparatus, Leeds and Northrup. Specifically, a laser beam is projected through a transparent cell which contains a stream of moving particles suspended in a liquid. Lights rays which strike the particles are scattered through angles which are inversely proportional to their sizes. The photodetector array measures the quantity of light at several predetermined angles. Electrical signals proportional to themeasured light flux values are then processed by a microcomputer system to form a multi-channel histogram of the particle size distribution.
The pore volumes (mercury pore volume) are determined using an Autopore II 9220 Porosimeter (Micromeritics Corporation). This instrument measures the void volume and pore size distribution of various materials. Mercury is forced into the voids as a function of pressure and the volume of mercury intruded per gram of sample is calculated at each pressure setting. Total pore volume expressed herein CA 0222010~ 1997-10~31 WO 96t34592 PCT/U~96/OS496 rel)rese..l~ the cum~ tive volume of mercury intruded at pressures from v~cuum to ~iO,000 psi. Increments in volume (cc/g) at each pressure setting are plotted against the pore radius corresponding to the pressure setting increments. The pleak in the i~ltruded volume versus pore radius curve corresponds to the mode in the pore size 5 distribution. It identifies the most common pore size in the sample.
Bulk density is measured by measuring the volume in liters occupiecl by a ~;ven weight ofthe abrasive and is reported in pounds per cubic foot.
The silicas can be further characterized using a Einlehner At-1000 .~brader to measure the softness of the silicas in the following manner: A Fourdrinier wire screen is weighed and exposed to the action of a 10% aqueous silica suspem~,ion for a certain length of time. The amount of abrasion is then determined as rnilligrams~eight lost of the Fourdrinier wire screen per 100,000 revolutions Brass E inlehner (lBE) results are expressed in milligrams.
The silicas preferably possess a BE of less than about 7 and preferably 5 between 2 and 5.
These precipitated silicas are prepared by a. fresh water acidulation process ~rherein silica (silicon dioxide or SiO2) is precipitated by reaction of an alkali metal silicate and a mineral acid in aqueous solution. The alkali metal silicate rnay be any alka.li metal silicate, but sodium silicate is plt;felled. While any mineral acicl may be 20 used in the process, sulfuric acid is a prefe"~d reactant.
It is a feature of the invention that the process of preparation is a *esh waterpirocess, that is, no electrolyte such as alum, Na2SO4, or NaCI, is present dllring the reaction.
In the p,~felled process, an aqueous sodium silicate solution is provided 25 wherein the sodium silicate is present in a concentration of about 8.0 to 3S weight percent, preferably 8.0 to 15 weight percent. The Na2O:SiO2 ratio in the silicate solution should range from about I to 3.5:1 and preferably from 2.5 to 3.4:1. The sulfi~ric acid reactant will preferably have a concentration of about 6 to 35~~, in water, pre~erably about 9.0 to 15 weight percent.
In the pl~fel-ed procedure, a small portion of the sodium silicate solution is charged to a reactor for reaction with the sulfuric acid and the remaincler of the silic,ate. In the p- efel, ed embodiment, only about 1 to 5% of the total stoic:hiornetric amount of sodium silicate solution, preferably about 2%, should be initially placed in thie reactor to serve as initiating nuclei for the silica. This aqueous solution of sodium silicate is then preheated to a temperature in the range of about 80 to 90~C with agitation prior to the addition of the sulfuric acid and rern~inder of sodiurn silicate.
Agitation may be provided by conventional stirring of agitation equipment.
CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 Thereafter with continued agitation, the remainder of the sodium silicate and sulfuric acid are separately slowly added to the reactor over a limited period of time. In the ple~.l~:d embodiment, the sodium silicate is metered into the reaction mixture at the rate of about 7 to 12 liters per minute and, more preferably, at the specific rate of 8.94 liters per minute. The sulfuric acid is metered into the reactor at the rate of about 1 to 4 liters per minute but more preferably at the rate of about 2.95 liters per minute.
The sodium silicate solution and sulfuric acid are metered into the sodium silicate solution in the reactor over an addition time of about 40 to 60 minutes, but 0 prc~relably over a 50 minute addition time. At the end of this addition time at which point the silica has precipitated, the sodium silicate solution addition is stopped but sulfilric acid addition is continued with agitation until a final pH of 5.0 to 5.8 is obtained in the reactor. At this stage, the silica has precipitated to provide a mixture of the precipitated silica and the reaction liquor.
After precipitation of the silica and lowering of the pH of the mixture, the reaction mixture is then subjected to digestion and curing. Digestion is carried out by raising the temperature of the mixture to a temperature of 90~ to 98~C, preferably about 95~ to 98~C, with continued agitation, over a residence time of about 5 minllte~S to an hour preferably about 10 to 30 minutes.
Thereafter, the product is cured by further raising the temperature of the mixture to a temperature in the range of about 100~C with continued agitation so as to boil the reaction mixture over a cure time of about one-half hour to about two hours, preferably about 30 minlltes to 80 minutec, more preferably about 1 hour.Digestion and curing procedures are critical features of the invention.
2s On completion of the reaction, the pH is again adjusted to about 5.0, and reaction mixture is filtered and washed with water to remove salts from the filter cake. The filter cake is then dried, preferably by conventional spray drying to produce a precipitated silica containing about 3 to 10% moisture. If necessary, the plecipilaled silica may be milled to desired particle size by adjusting milling 30 conditions. Because of the uniqueness of the process, milling conditions are easily adjusted to produce silica particles of desired mean values.
Preferred precipitated silica materials include those available from the J.M.
Huber Corporation under the tradename, "Zeodent", particularly the silica carrying the designation "Zeodent 128".
Precipitated silica suspensions are prepared in accordance with general methods described, for example, in prior U.S. Patents: 3.893~840, issued July 8,1975, to Wason; 3~988~162~ issued October 26, 1976, to Wason, 4~067.746, issued CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 J~muary 10, 1978, to Wason; and 4~340.583. issued July 29, 1982, to Wason; all of which are herein incorporated by reference, varying reaction parameters to form pleci,~ ated silicas having BE values in the range of from about 1.5 mg to about 6.0 mg and PE values in the range of about 4 mg to about 12 mg, an RDA ranging from about 25 to about 90, and an oil absorption of from about 95mUlOOgm to about 1 151nl/lOOgm. Reaction parameters which affect the characteristics of the reslllt~nt si].ica include: the rate at which the various rea~t~nt.c are added; the levels of concentration of the various reactants; the reaction pH; the reaction temper,ature or the rate at which electrolytes are added. The formed suspension is subsequently o filtered, followed by a washing and drying of the filtered precipitate. The resl-lting precipitated silica is next milled to a particle size in which 70% of the partLcle size distribution is below 20 microns.
In a separate process, gel silicas are prepared in accordance with general me,thods described, for example, in prior U.S. Patents: 4~153.680. to Seybert, issued May 8, 1979; 4.303.641. to DeWolfII et al., issued December 1,1981 and 4.632.826.

These patents are incorpolated 15herein by reference.
Preferred anionic surfactants useful herein include the water-soluble salts of al-kyli sulfates having from 10 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and the water-soluble salts of sulfonated monoglycerides of fatty acids having from 10 tO 18 carbon atoms. Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium coconut monoglyceride sulfonates are 20examples of anionic surf~ct~ntc of this type. Mixtures of anionic surfact~,nt.c can also be Ut;1i7.o~
~rerell~zi ca~ionic surf~ct~nte usefui in the present invention can be broadry defined as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium compounds having orle long alkyl chain cont~ining from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms such as lauryl trimethylam-25monhlm chloride; cetyl pyridinium chloride; cetyl trimethylammonium bromide; di-is-obutylphenoxyethyl-dimethylbenzylammonium chloride; coconut alkyltrimethylam-monium nitrite; cetyl pyridinium fluoride; etc. Preferred compounds are the quater-nary ammonium fluorides described in U.S. Patent 3.535.421. October 20, 15~70, to Briner et al., herein incorporated by reference, where said quaternary ammlonium30fluorides have detergent properties. Certain cationic surf~ct~nts can also act as germicides in the compositions disclosed herein. Cationic surfactants such as chlor-hexadine, although suitable for use in the current invention, are not preferred due to theiir capacity to stain the oral cavity's hard tissues. Persons skilled in the art are aware of this possibility and should incorporate cationic surfactants only v~ h this O 35limi.tation in mind.
Preferred nonionic surfactants that can be used in the compositions of the present invention can be broadly defined as compounds produced by the condensa-CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 tion of alkylene oxide groups (hydrophilic in nature) with an organic hydrophobic compound which may be aliphatic or alkylaromatic in nature.

Chelating agents:
Another preferred optional agent is a chelating agent selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid and pharrn~ceutically-acceptable salts thereof, citric acid 25 and alkali metal citrates and mixtures thereof. Chelating agents are able to complex calcium found in the cell walls of the bacteria. Chelating agents can also disrupt plaque by removing calcium from the calcium bridges which help hold this biomassintact. However, it is possible to use a chelating agent which has an affinity for c~ ium that is too high. This results in tooth demineralization and is contrary to the 30 objects and intentions of the present invention.
Sodium and potassium citrate are the preferred alkali metal citrates, with sodium citrate being the most prefe"ed. Also preferred is a citric acid/alkali metal citrate combination. Preferred herein are alkali metal salts of tartaric acid. Most preferred for use herein are disodium tartrate, dipotassium tartrate, sodium potassium 35 tartrate, sodium hydrogen tartrate and potassium hydrogen tartrate. The amounts of ~.hel~ting agent suitable for use in the present invention are about 0.1% to about 2.5%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 2.5% and more preferably from about CA 0222010~ 1997-10~31 WO 96/34592 PCT/US!~6/05496 l.0~/o to about 2.5%. The tartaric acid salt chelating agent can be used alone or in co~ inaLion with other optional chelating agents.
Other optional chelating agents can be used. Preferably these chel~tin~ agents have a calcium binding constant of about 10 1 to 105 provide improved cleaning with 5 reduced plaque and calculus formation.
Another group of agents suitable for use as chelating agents in the present irlvention are the soluble pyrophosphates. The yyrophosphate salts useld i.n thepresent compositions can be any of the alkali metal pyrophosphate salts. Specific s~lts include tetra alkali metal pyrophosphate, diallcali metal diacid pyrophosphate, - 10 trialkali metal monoacid pyrophosphate and mixtures thereof, wherein the alkali metals are preferably sodium or potassium. The salts are useful in both l:heir hy-dlrated and uinhydrated forms. An effective amount of pyrophosphate salt useful in the present composition is generally enough to provide at least 1.0% pyrolphosphate ion, preferably from about 1.5% to about 6%, more preferably from about 3.5% to abollt 6% of such ions. It is to be appreciated that the level of pyrophosphate ions is th.at capable of being provided to the composition (i.e., the theoretical amount at an a~)plol"iate pH) and that pyrophosphate forms other than P207-4 (e.g., (HP207-3)) may be present when a final product pH is established.
The pyrophosphate salts are described in more detail in Kirk & Othmer, l_ncv-clopedia of Chemical Technolo~2y. Second Edition, Volume 15, Interscience Publish-ers (1968), incorporated herein by reference.
Still another possible group of chelating agents suitable for use in the presentinverltion are the anionic polymeric polycarboxylates. Such materials are welll hlown in the art, being employed in the form of their free acids or partially or preferably fully neutralized water soluble alkali metal (e.g. potassium and preferably sodiuîn) or an~onium salts. Preferred are 1:4 to 4:1 copolymers of maleic anhydride or acid w~lth another polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer, preferably methylvi]1yl ether (methoxyethylene) having a molecular weight (M.W.) of about i0,000 to about 1,000,000. These copolymers are available fi~r example as Gantrez AN 139 (~I.W. 500,000), AN 119 (M.W. 250,000) and preferably S-97 Pharmacelltical Grade (M.W. 70,000), of GAF Chemicals Corporation.
Other operative polymeric polycarboxylates include those such as the 1:1 copolymers of maleic anhydride with ethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, N-vi-nyl-2-pyrollidone, or ethylene, the latter being available for example as Monsanto E~ No. 1103, M.W. 10,000 and EMA Grade 61, and 1:1 copolymers of acrylic acid with methyl or hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl or ethyl acrylate, isobutyl vinyl ether or N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.
CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 WO 96134592 PCTrUS96/OS496 Additional operative polymeric polycarboxylates are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4.138.477, February 6, 1979 to Gaffar and U.S. Patent 4~183.914.

Flavoring agents can also be added to dentifrice compositions. Suitable flavor-ing agents include oil of wintergreen, oil of peppermint, oil of spearmint, oil of sassafras, and oil of clove. Sweetening agents which can be used include aspartame, 10 ~ce.~l-lf~me7 saccharin, dextrose, levulose and sodium cyclamate. Flavoring and sweetçning agents are generally used in dentifrices at levels of from about 0.005% to about 2% by weight.
Dentifrice compositions can also contain emulsifying agents. Suitable emulsifying agents are those which are reasonably stable and foam throughout a wide 15 pH range, including non-soap anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic and amphoteric organic synthetic detergents. Many of these suitable surfactants are disclosed by Gieske et al, in U.S. Patent No. 4,051,234, September 27,1977, incorporated herein by reference.
It is common to have an additional water-soluble fluoride compound present in 20 dentifrices and other oral compositions in an amount sufficient to give a fluoride ion concenL~alion in the composition at 25~C, and/or when it is used of from about 0.0025% to about 5.0% by weight, preferably from about 0 005% to about 2.0% by weight, to provide additional anticaries effectiveness. A wide variety of fluoride ion-yielding materials can be employed as sources of soluble fluoride in the present25 compositions. Examples of suitable fluoride ion-yielding materials are found in U.S.

Examples of suitablenonionic surf~ct~ntc include the Pluronics, polyethylene oxide condensates of alkyl phenols, products derived from the condensation of ethylene oxide with the reaction product of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine, ethylene oxide conden~es of aliphatic alcohols, long chain tertiary amine oxides, long chain tertiary phosphine oxides, long chain dialkyl sulfoxides and mixtures of such materials.
Plefe.led zwitterionic synthetic surfactants useful in the present invention canbe broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phos-lo phomium, and sulfonium compounds, in which the aliphatic radicals can be straight chain or branched, and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water-solubilizing group, e.g.,carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate or phosphonate.
Preferred betaine surfactants are disclosed in U.S. Patent 5,180,577 to Polefka et al., issued January 19, 1993. Typical alkyl dimethyl betaines include decyl betaine or 2-(N-decyl-N,N-dimethylammonio) acetate, coco betaine or 2-(N-coc-N, N-dimethyl ammonio) acetate, myristyl betaine, palmityl betaine, lauryl betaine, cetyl betaine, cetyl betaine, stearyl betaine, etc. The amidobetaines are exemplified by cocoamidoethyl betaine, cocoamidopropyl betaine, lauramidopropyl betaine and the20 like. The betaines of choice are preferably the cocoamidopropyl betaine and, more preferably, the lauramido propyl betaine.
Chelating agents:
Another preferred optional agent is a chelating agent selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid and pharrn~ceutically-acceptable salts thereof, citric acid 25 and alkali metal citrates and mixtures thereof. Chelating agents are able to complex calcium found in the cell walls of the bacteria. Chelating agents can also disrupt plaque by removing calcium from the calcium bridges which help hold this biomassintact. However, it is possible to use a chelating agent which has an affinity for c~ ium that is too high. This results in tooth demineralization and is contrary to the 30 objects and intentions of the present invention.
Sodium and potassium citrate are the preferred alkali metal citrates, with sodium citrate being the most prefe"ed. Also preferred is a citric acid/alkali metal citrate combination. Preferred herein are alkali metal salts of tartaric acid. Most preferred for use herein are disodium tartrate, dipotassium tartrate, sodium potassium 35 tartrate, sodium hydrogen tartrate and potassium hydrogen tartrate. The amounts of ~.hel~ting agent suitable for use in the present invention are about 0.1% to about 2.5%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 2.5% and more preferably from about CA 0222010~ 1997-10~31 WO 96/34592 PCT/US!~6/05496 l.0~/o to about 2.5%. The tartaric acid salt chelating agent can be used alone or in co~ inaLion with other optional chelating agents.
Other optional chelating agents can be used. Preferably these chel~tin~ agents have a calcium binding constant of about 10 1 to 105 provide improved cleaning with 5 reduced plaque and calculus formation.
Another group of agents suitable for use as chelating agents in the present irlvention are the soluble pyrophosphates. The yyrophosphate salts useld i.n thepresent compositions can be any of the alkali metal pyrophosphate salts. Specific s~lts include tetra alkali metal pyrophosphate, diallcali metal diacid pyrophosphate, - 10 trialkali metal monoacid pyrophosphate and mixtures thereof, wherein the alkali metals are preferably sodium or potassium. The salts are useful in both l:heir hy-dlrated and uinhydrated forms. An effective amount of pyrophosphate salt useful in the present composition is generally enough to provide at least 1.0% pyrolphosphate ion, preferably from about 1.5% to about 6%, more preferably from about 3.5% to abollt 6% of such ions. It is to be appreciated that the level of pyrophosphate ions is th.at capable of being provided to the composition (i.e., the theoretical amount at an a~)plol"iate pH) and that pyrophosphate forms other than P207-4 (e.g., (HP207-3)) may be present when a final product pH is established.
The pyrophosphate salts are described in more detail in Kirk & Othmer, l_ncv-clopedia of Chemical Technolo~2y. Second Edition, Volume 15, Interscience Publish-ers (1968), incorporated herein by reference.
Still another possible group of chelating agents suitable for use in the presentinverltion are the anionic polymeric polycarboxylates. Such materials are welll hlown in the art, being employed in the form of their free acids or partially or preferably fully neutralized water soluble alkali metal (e.g. potassium and preferably sodiuîn) or an~onium salts. Preferred are 1:4 to 4:1 copolymers of maleic anhydride or acid w~lth another polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer, preferably methylvi]1yl ether (methoxyethylene) having a molecular weight (M.W.) of about i0,000 to about 1,000,000. These copolymers are available fi~r example as Gantrez AN 139 (~I.W. 500,000), AN 119 (M.W. 250,000) and preferably S-97 Pharmacelltical Grade (M.W. 70,000), of GAF Chemicals Corporation.
Other operative polymeric polycarboxylates include those such as the 1:1 copolymers of maleic anhydride with ethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, N-vi-nyl-2-pyrollidone, or ethylene, the latter being available for example as Monsanto E~ No. 1103, M.W. 10,000 and EMA Grade 61, and 1:1 copolymers of acrylic acid with methyl or hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl or ethyl acrylate, isobutyl vinyl ether or N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.
CA 0222010~ 1997-10-31 WO 96134592 PCTrUS96/OS496 Additional operative polymeric polycarboxylates are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4.138.477, February 6, 1979 to Gaffar and U.S. Patent 4~183.914.
