Abstract:
An oral composition comprising:a. a first composition comprising a fluoride ion source and a stannous ion source that delivers from about 3,000 ppm to about 15,000 ppm stannous ions, wherein the stannous ion source comprises a stannous salt other than stannous fluoride or stannous monofluorophosphate and wherein said first composition is essentially free of linear polyphosphate having an average chain length of about 4 or more and is physically separated from a second composition; b. a second composition comprising a linear polyphosphate having an average chain length of about 4 or more, wherein the second composition has a total water content of up to about 20% and is essentially free of a stannous ion source and a fluoride ion source; wherein said polyphosphate binds the stannous ions upon intraoral contact of the first composition and second composition.
