Provided is a method of surveillance for hazardous materials, e. g. , chemical, biological and radiological agents. The method comprises assaying a sample derived from materials collected from a sample domain for the presence of a chemical, biological, or radiological agent. The sample domain comprises at least one collection point from which the materials are collected in a pre-existing operation unrelated to surveillance.

This invention relates to a mild oral hygiene composition such as a toothpaste, dental gel, mouthrinse or tooth powder containing a mild surfactant, protein fatty acid condensate or acid hydrolyzed, hydrolyzed animal protein or the mixtures thereof, and in combination therewith, mild high foaming surfactant, e. g. , disodium cocoamido MIPA sulfosuccinate or disodium oleamido PEG-2 sulfosuccinate or disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate or the mixtures thereof; or a natural emulsifier, e. g. , lecithin, or both a mild surfactant and a nautral emulsifier.

A dental prophylactic device has a handle section containing a drive member and a driven section at a substantial angle to the handle section containing a driven member also at an angle to the driving member. The handle section includes a longitudinally oscillatable cam follower supported parallel to the handle axis. When the cam follower is translated around the axis by the rotation of the drive shaft, it is caused to oscillate by one end contacting the stationary cam follower track. The other end engages a slot parallel to the axis of a cam at an angle to the cam follower thereby causing the cam to oscillate back and forth over an arc of at least 50. degree. to approximately 150. degree. , maintaining the connection between the cam follower and the cam by the use of the slot which permits the cam follower, in effect, to move up and down with respect to the cam as it oscillates. The cam oscillates a cup which may contain prophylactic material and the reversing action limits the ability of the material to be thrown out of the cup and obviates unintended movement of the cup over the surface of a tooth which occurs in the case of rotation in a single direction.

Synergistic compositions comprising an antioxidant and an arylpropionic, non-steroidal anti-imflammatory drug used to treat certain diseases are disclosed. The compositions inhibit production of arachidonic acid cascade end-products which have been implicated as causes of tissue-destruction in periodontal disease. The compositions are administered in combination with a carrier, which may be a mucosal-tenacious polymer selected from the groups of semi-solid pastes, gels, ointments, liquids or films.
