DEFINITION

Classification: 424/49

(under the class definition) Compositions which function primarily in the normal hygiene of the oral cavity; e.g., tooth pastes, mouth washes, gargles, etc.

A composition intended to be employed regularly in normal mouth-care is placed herein even if the composition contains ingredients of specific value in killing micro-organisms or in the treatment or prevention of specific mouth diseases or malfunctions such as pyorrhea trench mouth, gingivitis, etc.

For a particular ingredient containing composition not specifically provided for by said indents, a search through this and the indented subclasses will be necessary.
