Bentonite - Handy stuff. Some interesting uses:
Bentonite can be used in cement, adhesives, ceramic bodies, and cat litter...Bentonite clay is also used in pyrotechnics to make end plugs and rocket nozzles, and can also be used as a therapeutic face pack for the treatment of acne/oily skin. Clearasil, an acne cream, uses bentonite as an agent to absorb excess sebum, clearing pores.

Now, on to Dentonite:
Dentonite Toothpaste(Licence To Kill)
Gadget: Dentonite Toothpaste
Movie: Licence To Kill
Owner: James Bond
Status: Used
Plastic explosives disguised as ordinary toothpaste, this stuff is stronger than anything you'll ever brush your teeth with. This toothpaste would be enough to remove the thickest build-up of plaque, as well as your head and shoulders.
Use
Bond smothered the paste around the bullet-proof window of Franz Sanchez office at his casino in Isthmus. Bond placed the cigarette come detonator fuse amongst the paste and detonated it from another rooftop, just before he was about to assassinate Sanchez with the camera gun.
Specs
The explosive kit consisted of a tube of plastic explosive paste mixed with ordinary toothpaste as a disguise. The detonator was disguised as a packet of cigarettes, one cigarette was the fuse, which needed to be inserted into a blob of paste, inside the pack was electronics and a radio receiver. A remote control (like a garage door control) could detonate the explosives from a maximum range of 200 yards.

So, if James Bond had had an acne problem, then we might have had bentonite in the dentonite.....or maybe not.
I think we should send some toothpaste to Ross,complete with a letter written by the cat, warning him not to light a cigarette while brushing his teeth.
