Abstract
Abstract Oral compositions, such as mouthwashes, sprays, gels, oral foams, toothpastes and the like which include a combination of an antibacterial pyrimidine amine base, especially hexetidine, plus one or several zinc salts. This combination inhibits the formation of dental plaque synergistically, without staining the teeth.
