- 当該器具は、マウスピースの形式である、請求項1に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、(a)を含み、前記振動アレイは、6〜8の個々の振動要素を含み、各振動要素は、超音波ビームに渡って出力制御を与えるために個別に電動駆動される、請求項2に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、(b)を含み、前記振幅変調は、超音波ビームの出力を最大出力の50%又はそれ以下まで減少させる、請求項1に記載の器具。
- 最も低いレベルにある前記超音波ビームの出力は、前記微小気泡の補充を可能にするのに十分な低さであるが、前記微小気泡のストリーミング効果を遮るほどの低さではない、請求項8に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、毛を含む、請求項1に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、手動器具である、請求項10に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、歯に作用するスクラビングを生成するために前記毛を移動させるための電動システムを含む、請求項10に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、(c)を含み、前記周波数変調は、200〜400KHzの範囲をカバーする、請求項1に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、(b)を含み、変調周波数は、超音波の周波数の約1〜10%である、請求項1に記載の器具。
- 当該器具は、(a)を含み、ブラシヘッド上に取り付けられた毛をもつ電動歯ブラシであり、前記振動要素のアレイは、前記毛のベースで前記ブラシヘッドに取り付けられ、前記微小気泡は、前記ブラシヘッドの近傍で生成される、請求項1に記載の器具。
