Abstract

The invention relates to a dental brushing instrument. The brushing head consists of three parts: a central part and two lateral parts inclined at 45 DEG with respect to the central part. The bristles of the lateral parts are arranged at 90 DEG with respect to the bristles of the central part (Figure 2). The use of this brush will permit an identical effectiveness of brushing on all the surfaces of the teeth. This will make a contribution to the prevention of caries (decay) and periodontal diseases, by removing the dental plaque from zones which are inaccessible to currently used conventional means.

Description

INSTRUMENT n1 HYGIENE BUCCODENTAIRE
La présente invention se rapporte- à un instrument de brossage et rinçage dentaire.
INSTRUMENT n1 ORAL HYGIENE
The present invention relates to a dental brushing and rinsing instrument.

Les dispositifs existants sont constitués des brosses à dents à une tête, manuelles ou electriques de différentes tailles et formes, des brosses à dents manuelles à deux têtes pour brossage des deux faes dentaires, vestibulaire (face externe) et linguale (face interne), des brosses à dents avec dentifrice intégré et des appareils de douche buccale. The existing devices consist of toothbrushes with one head, manual or electric, of different sizes and shapes, manual toothbrushes with two heads for brushing the two dental faeces, vestibular (external face) and lingual (internal face), toothbrushes with integrated toothpaste and oral shower devices.

Ceux-ci ont pour but d' éliminer les débris alimentaires et la plaque microbienne collés sur les surfaces dentaires, dans la région cervicale (limite de jonction gencive-dent) et dans les espaces inter-dentaires. These are intended to remove food debris and microbial plaque stuck on dental surfaces, in the cervical region (gum-tooth junction limit) and in the interdental spaces.

L'utilisation de ces dispositifs est longue, d'une efficacité limitée (en fonction des habitudes de chacun) et le rinçage est effectué séparément. The use of these devices is long, of limited effectiveness (depending on the habits of each) and rinsing is carried out separately.

Il est, par ailleurs, souhaitable que ces gestes quotidiens soient simples, efficaces, rapides et de même intensité sur toutes les surfaces dentaires ainsi que les espaces inter-dentaires. It is, moreover, desirable that these daily gestures are simple, effective, rapid and of the same intensity on all dental surfaces as well as the inter-dental spaces.

La présente invention sera décrite à titre d'exemple, non limitatif, au regard des figures 1 à 4, ci-jointes, qui se rapportent respectivement
Figure 1 : montre l'instrument en totalité (vue cavalière)
à l'échelle 1/1 en grandeur nature.
The present invention will be described by way of example, without limitation, with regard to Figures 1 to 4, attached, which relate respectively
Figure 1: shows the entire instrument (view from the side)
1/1 scale full-size.

Figures 2 à 4 : montrent les détails des vues de face, en cou
pe, du manche et de l'adaptateur, grossis à l'échelle 2/1.
Figures 2 to 4: show the details of the front and neck views
eg, handle and adapter, magnified to 2/1 scale.

Dans la figure 2, on observe une vue de face montrant la partie active ou la tête relative au brossage avec l'inclinaison des trois parties de la tête les unes par rapport aux autres, chaque partie est composée de quatre rangées de touffes de poils. La partie centrale, qui se situe à l'horizontale, présente deux rangées de touffes de poils centrales d'une longueur supérieure aux deux autres rangees des extrémités qui se trouvent sous les touffes internes des deux autres parties inclinées. In Figure 2, there is a front view showing the active part or the head relating to brushing with the inclination of the three parts of the head relative to each other, each part is composed of four rows of tufts of bristles. The central part, which is situated horizontally, has two rows of tufts of central bristles of a length greater than the other two rows of ends which are located under the internal tufts of the other two inclined parts.

Chacune des deux parties latérales forme un angle de 450 avec la partie centrale, cette angulation permet aux touffes de poils les plus longs de pénétrer dans le sulcus gingival pour une élimination efficace de la plaque dentaire qui se trouve dans cette région (sulcus : partie gingivale en contact avec le collet de la dent). Les quatre rangées des touffes de chacune des deux parties latérales forment angle de 900 avec l'horizontale et une ligne parallèle aux touffes de la partie centrale. Each of the two lateral parts forms an angle of 450 with the central part, this angulation allows the longest tufts of hair to penetrate into the gingival sulcus for effective removal of the dental plaque which is in this region (sulcus: gingival part in contact with the tooth collar). The four rows of tufts of each of the two lateral parts form an angle of 900 with the horizontal and a line parallel to the tufts of the central part.

La figure 3 montre une coupe suivant la ligne AA' de la figure 2, illustrant ainsi le passage des canaux internes (1) qui permettent à l'eau d'un appareil de douche buccale de sortir par les orifices (2) prévus à cet effet sur chacune des trois parties de l'instrument. Figure 3 shows a section along line AA 'of Figure 2, thus illustrating the passage of the internal channels (1) which allow water from an oral shower device to exit through the orifices (2) provided for this effect on each of the three parts of the instrument.

zLe point (3) illustre une partie mâle avec un joint torique qui pénètre dans la partie femelle du manche (5), figure 4, ou dans une partie femelle d'un adaptateur (4), figure 4, qui s'adaptera à l'aide d'un embout mâle spécifique à chaque type d'appareil de douche buccale commercialisé à l'heure actuelle. zThe point (3) illustrates a male part with an O-ring which penetrates into the female part of the handle (5), figure 4, or into a female part of an adapter (4), figure 4, which will adapt to the '' using a male nozzle specific to each type of oral shower device currently marketed.

Cet instrument, qui vient d'être décrit, apporte une efficacité supplémentaire à l'hygiène bucco-dentaire et à la prévention de la carie dentaire et des maladies parodontales. This instrument, which has just been described, brings additional effectiveness to oral hygiene and to the prevention of dental caries and periodontal diseases.

Un brossage régulier et égal des trois faces des dents pourra être fait simultanément, ceci apporte une diminution du temps de brossage (brossage trois fois plus rapide), une élimination de la plaque dentaire trois fois plus efficace puisque l'inclinaison des différentes parties de l'instrument assure une fonction adaptée à chacune des trois faces des dents, ainsi qu'une élimination de la plaque subgingivale, et une durée de vie trois fois plus longue puisque chaque partie de l'instrument ne brosse qu'une face. Les trois parties ne sont solidaires que par leur extrémité la plus près du manche, ce qui apporte une élasticité limitée au niveau de la partie active et permet l'adaptation de la brosse aux différentes tailles des dents d'adulte ou d'enfant. Regular and equal brushing of the three faces of the teeth can be done simultaneously, this brings a reduction in brushing time (brushing three times faster), a removal of dental plaque three times more effective since the inclination of the different parts of the he instrument ensures a function adapted to each of the three faces of the teeth, as well as an elimination of the subgingival plaque, and a lifespan three times longer since each part of the instrument only brushes one side. The three parts are only joined by their end closest to the handle, which provides a limited elasticity at the level of the active part and allows the adaptation of the brush to the different sizes of the teeth of adult or child.

L'accumulation de la plaque bactérienne sur les dents et au niveau des régions cervicales est à l'origine des caries dentaires et des maladies parodontales. L'élimination de cette plaque est aisée au niveau des faces vestibulaires (externes) des dents, tandis que l'élimination de cette plaque est plus difficile au niveau des faces linguales (internes) ainsi que des faces proximales (inter-dentaires). L'utilisation de cet instrument garantit l'élimination de cette plaque dentaire avec la même efficacité sur toutes les surfaces dentaires ainsi que les espaces inter-dentaires. L'utilisation d'un manche à joint torique ne nécessite, pour toute une famille, que l'achat d'un seul manche. L'emploi des couleurs servira à personnaliser les brosses à chaque membre de la famille.Le joint torique permet un mouvement de rotation du manche avec le poignet, ainte- nant la brosse dans la même position sur les surfaces dentaires au cours de son déplacement sur l'arcade. The accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth and in the cervical regions is the cause of tooth decay and periodontal disease. The elimination of this plaque is easy at the vestibular (external) faces of the teeth, while the elimination of this plaque is more difficult at the lingual (internal) faces as well as the proximal (inter-dental) faces. The use of this instrument guarantees the elimination of this dental plaque with the same efficiency on all dental surfaces as well as the inter-dental spaces. The use of an O-ring handle only requires the purchase of a single handle for an entire family. The use of colors will serve to personalize the brushes to each member of the family. The O-ring allows a rotational movement of the handle with the wrist, holding the brush in the same position on the dental surfaces during its movement on the arch.

La combinaison de cet instrument avec les appareils à douche buccale permet un rinçage puissant et efficace des débris alimentaires délogés par le brossage. Ceci apporte aussi une amélioration à l'efficacité des douches buccales puisque celles-ci ne peuvent accèder qu'aux faces vestibulaires, tandis que, avec notre instrument, le jet d'eau est envoyé simultanément aux faces vestibulaires, linguales et occlusales. Cette fonction combinée permet un rinçage pendant ou après le brossage. The combination of this instrument with oral shower devices allows a powerful and effective rinsing of food debris dislodged by brushing. This also brings an improvement to the efficiency of mouth showers since they can only access the vestibular sides, while, with our instrument, the water jet is sent simultaneously to the buccal, lingual and occlusal sides. This combined function allows rinsing during or after brushing.

La forme de notre instrument réduira l'utilisation des dentifrices puisque le produit dentifrice est réparti directement sur toutes les surfaces dentaires en même temps.  The shape of our instrument will reduce the use of toothpaste since the toothpaste is distributed directly on all dental surfaces at the same time.
