Abstract
Abstract An oral composition effective to promote oral hygiene containing as an anticalculus agent a water soluble oligomer of the formula ##STR1## wherein M is a water soluble orally acceptable cation; R 1 , r 2 , r 3 and R 4 are independently H, methyl or ethyl; Y is at least one hydrophilic member of the group consisting of --COOM 1 , --CONH 2 , and --CH 2 OH: X is at least one hydrophobic member of the group consisting of --CN, --COOR, --COOR 5 OR, --CONHR, --COONHR 5 COR, and --OOCR; M 1 is H or M; R is C 1-8 alkyl; R 5 is C 1-4 alkylene; A is 0-7; and A+b is about 4-15.
