Abstract

PURPOSE:To substantially prevent the sticking of the contaminants, such as bacteria, to the nylon bristle and to easily remove the contaminants by washing with water by treating the surfaces of the bristle using a sulfonated phenol formalin condensate. CONSTITUTION:The sulfonated phenol formalin condensate to be used is the formalin condensate of the diphenyl sulfone and sodium phenol sulfonate expressed by formula I, and usually, the range of m:n=1:0.5 to 1:5 (m+n=2 to 10) in the formula is applied. The bristle consisting of the blank material of the bristle subjected to stainproofing by this sulfonated phenol formalin condensate is flocked to the tooth brush. The tooth brush and the bristle for the brush with which the bacteria, etc., hardly stick to the bristle and the contaminants are easily removed by washing with water are thereby obtd.

The toothbrushes used therein should be subject to sufficient hygienic management, just like other medical instruments. However, at present, it cannot be said that sufficient consideration is given to hygiene management of toothbrushes after brushing. After brushing, the surface of the toothbrush bristle is covered with plaque,
Various stains such as food residue and toothpaste ingredients often remain attached, and if sufficient water is not washed, there is a risk that the toothbrush will become a breeding ground for microorganisms. These microorganisms not only cause bad odors, but also pose a risk of causing infections.

On the other hand, the current state of sanitary management of toothbrushes is as simple as washing them with water to remove dirt and then storing them in a well-ventilated place. Various devices have been devised for storing toothbrushes, such as drying them with hot air or sterilizing them with ultraviolet rays, but there are few examples of sanitary treatments applied to the toothbrushes themselves. There are only antibacterial coated toothbrushes on the market.
