Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
An oral composition comprising an oral vehicle, an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof and an effective anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in situ in essentially free form.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
An oral composition comprising an oral vehicle, an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof and an effective anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in situ in essentially free form.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said zinc salt is zinc salicylate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said fluoride salt is a member selected from the group consisting of ammonium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate and an alkali metal and tin fluoride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said zinc salt is zinc salicylate and said fluoride is sodium fluoride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
A water-containing oral composition comprising an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof, an effective anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in situ in essentially free form, and an oral vehicle containing at least sufficient water to solubilize said zinc salt and said fluoride salt.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
75 words
A water-containing oral composition comprising an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof, an effective anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in situ in essentially free form, and an oral vehicle containing at least sufficient water to solubilize said zinc salt and said fluoride salt.

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
62 words
An aqueous solution comprising water and, dissolved therein, an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof and an effective. - anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in solution in essentially free form.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
62 words
An aqueous solution comprising water and, dissolved therein, an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof and an effective. - anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in solution in essentially free form.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
19 words

Claim 16
Dependent Claim
74 words
An aqueous ethanolic solution comprising from about 5 to about 40 percent by weight of ethanol in water and, dissolved therein, an effective mouth odor inhibiting amount of an organic zinc salt selected from the group consisting of zinc salicylate, zinc lactate, zinc gluconate and mixtures thereof and an effective anti-caries amount of a water soluble inorganic ionic fluoride salt, said zinc salt and said fluoride salt being in solution in essentially free form.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
74 words
