Description

tooth cleaner

The present invention relates to a tooth cleaner, which is used to maintain healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity. It is convenient and easy to use, has excellent comprehensive functions, and is selected from the group consisting of toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, tufted brushes, interdental brushes, and polishing brushes. It has multiple functions including tongue cleaner, gum massager, oral mirror, and rinse solution.

In particular, the tooth cleaner of the present invention not only has an excellent function of removing dental plaque or stains, but also has the function of removing tongue dirt (tongue coating) and massaging the gums. Therefore, it not only prevents tooth decay or periodontal disease, but also prevents bad breath. , and keeps teeth white and clean, is easy to carry, does not require water or toothpaste, and can be used anytime and anywhere. Furthermore, it can also be given the function of observing teeth and the inside of the oral cavity.

Teeth, required for ingesting food, are one of the most important parts of the body to maintain good health. You need to develop the habit of brushing your teeth anytime and anywhere after eating to remove tartar (plaque) that is firmly attached to the teeth and prevent tooth decay or periodontal disease. In addition, brushing your teeth not only prevents tooth decay or periodontal disease, but also whitens your teeth and eliminates bad breath, thus giving people a healthy and clean impression. In particular, dental plaque is the residence of bacteria formed on the thin membrane (Pellicle) that covers the tooth surface with glycoproteins contained in saliva. Proteobacteria (caries bacteria) use sucrose to create a glycocalyx on the tooth surface. of sticky matter It also becomes the residence of periodontal bacteria. Then, the dental plaque absorbs the inorganic components of saliva or blood and solidifies into dental calculus, which is not only the cause of tooth decay, periodontal disease, bad breath, etc., but may also become the main cause of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, etc. ( Non-patent literature 1).

Brushing teeth, which is so important for removing dental plaque, usually involves brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste. However, even if the plaque on the tooth surface can be removed with a toothbrush, it is difficult for the front end of the toothbrush to reach the interdental area and remove the dental bacteria between the teeth. The effect of spots is low. Therefore, it has been pointed out that it is better to use dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, tuft brushes, etc. in combination (Non-patent Documents 2 to 5).

In particular, the interdental plaque removal rate when flossing was used together was 86% compared to 58% when only a toothbrush was used (Non-Patent Document 2).

There are two types of dental floss: a roll type in which the floss is cut and wrapped around the fingers, and a handle type in which the floss is placed on an arch-shaped handle. The dental floss itself is made of elastic nylon or a plasticizer containing wax. It is made by twisting a large number of polyester filaments and is still in use today (Non-Patent Documents 6 and 7).

However, for a long time, dental floss has been facing problems such as elasticity, friction, and toughness that are not easy to break and damage the gums; problems in its ability to remove dental plaque efficiently; problems in being easily inserted between teeth, and being embedded after insertion. In order to solve the problem of compression and expansion between teeth, we have made improvements from various perspectives.

Regarding the issue of strength and toughness, technology using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) with extremely high tensile strength is being studied (Patent Document 1). However, the technology of processing ultra-high molecular weight PE into filaments not only requires a lot of labor, but also risks damaging the gums due to the high elasticity of ultra-high molecular weight PE.

Dental floss using water-swellable resin filaments can solve the problem of compression and expansion due to saliva swelling and fit between the teeth after being inserted between the teeth, and can effectively remove dental bacteria. There is a possibility of problems with the ability to remove spots, but the strength of the swollen filaments becomes a weakness (Non-Patent Document 6 and Patent Document 2).

Although it varies depending on the thickness of the filaments of the dental floss, the number of winding filaments, and the number of times of winding, in order to solve the problem that only the surface of the dental floss is used for removing plaque, a dental floss is proposed which is used to remove most of the dental floss at certain intervals. The filaments are bundled (Patent Document 3). However, there is a problem of the filaments getting tangled in the teeth.

Furthermore, in order to improve the operability of the dental floss to slide comfortably between teeth, that is, to improve the user's feel of the dental floss, porous or hollow polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filaments have been proposed (Patent Document 4) . However, the filament surface, which enhances the low friction due to the tactile feel of the material, makes the plaque removal function insufficient, and also causes the problem of breakage due to the insufficient strength and toughness of the material. Due to its low friction, PTFE also has the problem of easily falling off when installed on the handle frame.

In order to solve this problem, it has been proposed to add fumed silica to PTFE, but this causes a further decrease in the strength and toughness of the filament (Patent Document 5).

As a means of making it easier to insert dental floss, it has been proposed to use traditional nylon or polyester twisted yarn to cover water-soluble polymer. However, since saliva dissolves water-soluble polymer during insertion, it cannot solve the problem of traditional nylon or polyester floss at all. The problem of twisting dental floss (Patent Document 6).

In addition, a method is proposed to solve the problem of plaque removal ability of traditional nylon or polyester twisted dental floss by forming the cross-sectional shape of the filament into a multi-lobed shape of 3 to 6 leaves, but based on nylon Dental floss made of polyester or polyester is difficult to compress and deform, so it is difficult to insert between teeth. In addition to the risk of damaging the gums, the problem of easy breakage has not been solved (Patent Document 7).

As a dental floss that is easily compressed and deformed, an elastomer mixed with a plasticizer has been proposed, but the plasticizer significantly reduces the strength of the filament (Patent Document 8).

Thus, the most suitable dental floss has not yet been discovered, but as mentioned above, by using Dental floss can improve the ability to remove interdental plaque that is difficult to remove only by brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Therefore, a tooth cleaner that integrates a toothbrush and a handle-type dental floss has been proposed (Patent Documents 9 and 10).

Both of them are constructed with emphasis on portability, and therefore are not configured to fully utilize the functions of the toothbrush and the handle-type dental flosser. In particular, they are configured to make it difficult to operate the dental floss. In addition, although it is portable, it still requires a paste or liquid toothbrush, water for cleaning the mouth, and a towel to wipe around the mouth or hands.

On the other hand, in order to improve the ability to remove interdental plaque that is difficult to remove only by brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste, an electric toothbrush is also proposed, which not only has a handle-type flosser, but also has an adapter between the teeth. brush or tufting brush (Patent Document 11). In particular, it has been revealed that the interdental plaque removal rate when using an interdental brush in combination is 95% compared to 58% when only a toothbrush is used, which is more effective than dental flossing (Non-Patent Document 4). In addition, although the data is not comparable to dental floss and interdental brushes, tufted brushes are also recognized to significantly improve the removal rate of interdental plaque by using them together with toothbrushes (Non-Patent Document 5). Although not described in Patent Document 11, it is known that toothpicks also have the same effect (Non-Patent Document 3). In this way, it is extremely effective to combine various toothbrush-assisted tooth cleaners that can improve the effect of removing interdental plaque. However, they are electric and have the problem of not being portable enough to be used anytime and anywhere (Patent Document 11).

In this way, by using an auxiliary tooth cleaner such as a toothbrush and floss together, the ability to remove interdental plaque can be improved. However, in order to maintain healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, polyphenols or tobacco caused by the coating and food must be removed. Dirt formed by the combination of fat and the like becomes a stain that causes yellowing or bad breath (Non-Patent Document 8). This is closely related to the fact that the color of teeth has a great influence, and it is even said that the beauty of the mouth is mainly determined by the color of teeth, and the number of people who want to whiten their teeth is increasing.

Teeth whitening performed by dentists and others uses bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide. However, there are chemical methods and physical methods for removing stains through daily brushing (Non-Patent Document 8, Patent Documents 12 and 19).

The chemical method involves brushing your teeth using a paste or liquid containing sodium polyphosphate, ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, and diglycerin with less than 10 carbon atoms.

Physical methods include brushing teeth using a paste or liquid containing abrasives such as fumed silica, calcium carbonate, phosphate, etc.; and using a polisher as a tooth cleaner. Polishers use melamine resin sponges, rubber and toothbrushes containing abrasives such as fumed silica, calcium carbonate, phosphate, etc.

Although the chemical method does not damage the teeth, it has the problem of low stain removal effect; the physical method, although the stain removal effect is high, has the problem of damaging the teeth.

In particular, physical methods do not require special pastes or liquids and can remove stains with just a polisher, so they have been studied in various ways as tooth cleaners. As a result, the polisher has a problem of lowering the strength of the toothbrush itself compared to rubber and toothbrushes containing abrasives, and the contact area with teeth is small due to the material and shape. However, there is no strength problem and it is a foam. Melamine resin sponges that are easily compressed and deformed and have a large contact area with teeth are considered to be better, so manual and electric tooth cleaners using melamine resin sponges have been proposed (Patent Documents 13 and 14).

However, melamine resin sponges are formed by the condensation polymerization of methylol melamine and formaldehyde mixed with foaming agents. Therefore, there are teeth wear problems caused by extremely high hardness and unreacted substances remain in the product and are harmful to patients. The problem caused by formaldehyde is the cause of Sick House Syndrome (Patent Document 15).

Due to the problem of hardness, the usable range of melamine resin sponges has been It turns out that the limited cleaning sponge is widely used. This is because it has a higher hardness than ordinary plastic, so it will damage the surface of glossy plastic products. This hardness is higher than tooth enamel, so tooth cleaners using melamine resin sponges will significantly damage teeth and gums. In addition, rubber and toothbrushes containing abrasives may also cause damage to teeth and gums due to abrasives.

The problem caused by formaldehyde is based on the fact that formaldehyde is a representative substance of sick house syndrome that irritates the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract. Formaldehyde remaining as an unreacted product can be reduced through measures such as cleaning, neutralizing agents, and heat treatment. However, as a tooth cleaner that comes into contact with the mucous membrane in the oral cavity, safety concerns are indispensable.

From this point of view, a method of using a rubber monomer such as adhesive silicone instead of a sponge has been proposed for the polisher (Patent Document 16). However, its stain removal effect is not as good as the sponge structure with countless bubbles.

On the contrary, since the polisher alone can only remove stains and plaque attached to the tooth surface, tooth cleaners that integrate the polisher with floss or toothpicks for removing interdental plaque have also been proposed (Patent Document 17).

Furthermore, in order to keep not only the teeth and the spaces between the teeth but also the tongue and gums in the oral cavity healthy and clean, it is preferable to have a tongue cleaner or a gum massager (Non-Patent Documents 9 and 10).

Tongue, on the surface of the back of the tongue when you open the mouth, there are taste buds for sensing taste, and they are surrounded by rough protruding tongue papillae. Tongue coating, which is a bacterial mass similar to tartar, adheres to the tongue papilla and causes bad breath or periodontal disease, so it is ideal to remove it every day. Gums play an important role in supporting teeth. If they are not healthy, they will become the cause of periodontal disease. Therefore, gum massage is also one of the important habits that cannot be missed.

However, compared with auxiliary cleaning tools such as dental floss, interdental brushes, toothpicks, and tufted brushes, It is less well-known and is rarely used together with brushing your teeth. Therefore, integration with a toothbrush is ideal.

In addition, if it is easy to observe the condition of the teeth, interdental spaces, gums, and tongue, as well as the results of cleaning and implementation using the various tools mentioned above, it will be an incentive to consciously keep the oral cavity healthy and clean. However, since I have no habit of observing the inside of the oral cavity, I rarely prepare an oral mirror. Therefore, like a tongue cleaner, it is ideal to integrate it with a tooth cleaner.

As mentioned above, toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, tufted brushes, interdental toothbrushes, polishers, tongue cleaners, gum massagers, and There are various materials and structures for dental mirrors, etc., but each has its own inherent problems, and a tooth cleaner that solves these problems has not yet been discovered.

On the other hand, tooth cleaners equipped with a toothbrush and dental floss have been proposed from the viewpoint of portability for brushing teeth anytime and anywhere. However, a detergent in the form of paste or liquid is required, and it needs to be used for cleaning. Water around the mouth or in the mouth (Patent Documents 9 and 10).

From the viewpoint of such portability and economy, tooth cleaners with built-in detergents have been proposed (Patent Documents 17, 18, and 19). The so-called economy here refers to traditional disposable tooth cleaning products, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes packaged in plastic bags, such as those found in hotels, etc., which have a heavy burden on material costs and processing costs.

Patent Document 17 describes a tooth cleaner that integrates a polisher and dental floss or toothpicks for removing plaque between teeth through a tubular member, and contains glycerin or menthol in the tubular member. liquid or gel detergent. It is also simple in structure, and in terms of operability, it is only a matter of pressing the tubular member with fingers to send the detergent to the polisher. However, the polishers are sponges or resins containing abrasives such as silica and calcium carbonate, which may cause damage to the teeth. In addition, since it does not function as a toothbrush, the polisher must remove the teeth attached to it. Plaque and stains on the tooth surface put a heavy burden on the polisher. Using a polisher after removing plaque with a toothbrush can effectively remove stains attached to the tooth surface. Therefore, in the case of a sponge, clogging may occur, and in the case of resin containing abrasives, the abrasive may fall off. The effectiveness of stains is significantly reduced. Therefore, this toothbrush cleaner needs to carry an additional toothbrush. Furthermore, water for washing the inside of the mouth is required at least.

Patent Document 18 proposes a toothbrush in which a capsule containing toothpaste is built-in. In this case, there is no floss or toothpick to remove interdental plaque, only the function of a toothbrush. In addition, since toothpaste is used, water is needed for brushing teeth and water for washing the inside of the mouth.

Patent Document 19 proposes a tooth cleaner in which a toothbrush and a toothpick are integrated through a handle formed of thermoplastic rubber, and the root of the toothbrush has a toothbrush containing alkaline amino acids, fluoride ions, and diamine. Abrasives such as silicon oxide and calcium carbonate, and capsules containing water or diluent containing thickening agents. According to this, although there is no polisher that can effectively remove stains, its function is replaced by abrasives, which may cause damage to the teeth. In addition, although it is stated that since the viscosity of the detergent in the capsule is reduced, it is possible to brush teeth without using water, it is considered that in order to discharge the abrasive out of the oral cavity, water is still needed to cleanse the oral cavity.

Above, the results of the discussion of tooth cleaners proposed in the past have not found a tooth cleaner that is used to maintain healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, is convenient and easy to use, and has the function of removing plaque and stains in addition to the function of removing plaque or stains. The function of tongue coating and massaging gums not only prevents tooth decay or periodontal disease, but also prevents bad breath and keeps teeth white and clean without damaging teeth and gums. It does not require water at all and can be used anytime and anywhere. In addition, the function of observing the teeth and the oral cavity has not been examined at all.

Furthermore, in the past, teeth provided with functions based on the intention of the manufacturer Cleaners, but it is difficult to provide tooth cleaners with features valued by users.

The object of the present invention is to provide a tooth cleaner that is used to maintain healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, is convenient and easy to use, has excellent comprehensive functions, and is selected from the group consisting of toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, tufted brushes, and interdental brushes. , polisher, tongue cleaner, gum massager, oral mirror, and rinse liquid are integrated with multiple functions, and the tooth cleaner can be used anytime and anywhere.

In addition, the tooth cleaner of the present invention aims to selectively and easily integrate functions according to the user's needs.

In particular, the purpose of the tooth cleaner of the present invention is to provide a tooth cleaner that not only has an excellent function of removing dental plaque, stains, etc., but also has functions of removing tongue dirt (tongue coating) and massaging the gums, thereby not only preventing tooth decay Or periodontal disease, etc., it can also prevent bad breath and keep teeth white and clean. It is easy to carry, does not require water or toothpaste, and can be used anytime and anywhere. It also aims to provide observation of the functions of teeth and oral cavity.

In addition, the tooth cleaner of the present invention can be selected from the group consisting of toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, tufted brushes, interdental brushes, polishers, tongue cleaners, gum massagers, oral mirrors, and rinse solutions. The purpose is to selectively and easily integrate required functions.

The inventor found that by combining two or three selected from the group consisting of dental floss, toothpick, interdental brush, tufted brush, polisher, tongue cleaner, gum massager, and oral mirror, with a built-in water-soluble film The toothbrush is integrated into the capsule of a special rinse liquid for tooth brushing, which can provide a tooth cleaner that not only has excellent functions of removing plaque and stains, but also has the function of removing tongue dirt (tongue coating) and massaging the gums. Therefore, it not only prevents tooth decay or periodontal disease, but also prevents bad breath, keeps teeth white and clean, is easy to carry, does not require water or toothpaste, can be used anytime and anywhere, and can observe teeth and the inside of the oral cavity, thereby completing the present invention .

That is, the present invention is a tooth cleaner, which is characterized by a toothbrush containing a water-soluble film-encapsulated rinsing liquid capsule for toothbrushing, and a toothbrush selected from the group consisting of dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, tufted brushes, and polishers. It is a combination of two or three of the tongue cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror.

In this way, by integrating 2 or 3 tools other than toothbrushes, in one brushing session, in addition to using the toothbrush to remove plaque on the tooth surface, you can also use dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, and tufts at the same time. Brush any of them to remove plaque between teeth or in places that are hard to reach with a toothbrush; use a polisher to remove stains on the tooth surface; use a tongue cleaner to remove tongue coating on the tongue papilla; massage the gums; and observe the teeth and inside the mouth 2 Or 3, so it’s very convenient. Furthermore, these can be selected based on the features that users value.

In addition, since the toothbrush liquid is built into the toothbrush, there is no need to prepare toothbrush paste or liquid, so it is also convenient to carry. In particular, the toothbrushing liquid of the present invention does not require water, as will be described later, and therefore has the characteristic of being able to brush teeth at any time and place.

More specifically, the tooth cleaner of the present invention is a tooth cleaner provided with three functions. Among them, the tooth cleaner is constituted by joining in the following order: a toothbrush containing a rinse liquid capsule that encapsulates toothbrushing liquid with a water-soluble film; A single-sided head fixed on the head base, a head and neck part, a handle part, a tail part and a tail part, and equipped with dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, tufting brushes, polishers, and tongue cleaners , the tail of any one of the gum massager, and the oral mirror; and on the opposite side of the toothbrush fixing surface of the head base, there is a polisher, a tongue cleaner, a tufted brush, a gum massager, and any of the oral mirror. One.

Furthermore, since the user can freely select and equip the tool with functions that are important to the user, it is preferable that the head and neck part and the handle part and the tail part and the handle part be detachable. In addition, the operations of toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, tufted brushes, polishers, tongue cleaners, gum massagers, and oral mirrors are completely different. Therefore, in order to make individual operations easier, the handle is formed In the case of a flat shape (for example, a drum shape), it is preferable that the head and neck part and the handle part and the tail part and the handle part are pivotally connected and fixedly embedded so that they can rotate freely to easily fixed according to the direction of operation.

In addition, the tooth cleaner of the present invention is a tooth cleaner provided with four functions. Among them, the tooth cleaner is constructed in the following order: a toothbrush containing a rinse liquid capsule encapsulating toothbrushing liquid with a water-soluble film is fixed to the head The single-sided head of the seat has a head and neck, a handle part has a tail and neck, and is equipped with dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, polishers, tufting brushes, tongue cleaners, and gum massagers. device, and the tail of at least one of the dental mirrors; and in The opposite side of the toothbrush fixing surface of the head base is equipped with at least one of a polisher, a tongue cleaner, a tuft brush, a gum massager, and an oral mirror; and is connected to a toothpick installed on the handle side of the head, neck or tail neck. At least any one of interdental brushes, polishers, tufted brushes, tongue cleaners, gum massagers, and oral mirrors can be removable from the handle and stored in the handle, head and neck, and tail neck. The built-in part formed by the inner side of any one of the parts.

This tooth cleaner is also equipped with tools that allow users to freely select functions that are important to them. Therefore, it is preferable that the head and neck part and the handle part and the tail part and the handle part be detachable. In addition, the operations of toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, tufted brushes, polishers, tongue cleaners, gum massagers, and oral mirrors are completely different. Therefore, in order to make individual operations easier, the handle is formed In the case of a flat shape (for example, a drum shape), it is preferable that the head and neck part and the handle part and the tail part and the handle part are pivotally connected and fixedly embedded so that they can rotate freely to easily fixed according to the direction of operation.

Furthermore, from an operability point of view, toothbrushes require the most force, so the ratio of the length (b) from the center of the handle to the front end of the head and the length (c) from the center of the handle to the front end of the tail, Preferably, it is b:c=5:5~8:2, and more preferably, b:c=6:4~7:3. The easy-to-operate length ratio varies among individuals, so by preparing tooth cleaners with different length ratios, a tooth cleaner suitable for individual users can be provided. Although it is generally believed that integrating appliances with different functions will result in reduced operability of individual appliances, the tooth cleaner of the present invention has solved such a problem.

The tooth cleaner of the present invention, as mentioned above, is integrated with various operating tools such as toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, tufted brushes, polishers, tongue cleaners, gum massagers, and oral mirrors. , so the configuration, positional relationship, shape, etc. of the head, head and neck, handle, tail and neck, and tail require careful design.

Regarding the head of a toothbrush fixed on one side of the head base, any one of a polisher, a tongue cleaner, a tufted brush, a gum massager, and an oral mirror is fixed on the opposite side of the head base to which the toothbrush is fixed. Therefore, In order to make brushing the teeth the easiest and properly contact the surface of the teeth, it is better to make the angle (α) between the inclined line (X) of the bristle fixed surface of the head base and the horizontal line 70~95°, from the head and neck. The curvature (D) of the arc section from the side surface of the toothbrush to the rear end of the toothbrush is 0.08~0.50.

Similarly, the length (g), width (h), and length (n) from the front end of the toothbrush to the rear end are preferably 10~16mm, 7~11mm, and 4~10mm respectively; from the front end of the toothbrush to The curvature (B) of the arc part at the rear end is 0.07~0.20.

The size and shape of the toothbrush are designed not only for the operability of the toothbrush, but also for the operability of the appliance equipped on the opposite side of the fixed toothbrush head base. The length of the toothbrush can be uniform or uneven. However, if the length of the toothbrush is too large, the operation of the appliance equipped on the opposite side of the fixed toothbrush head base will be obviously difficult.

In addition, since the rinsing liquid capsule built into the toothbrush is installed in the center of the toothbrush, in order to supply the brushing liquid so that the rinsing liquid capsule is easily destroyed, it is preferable to place a toothbrush that is approximately the same length as the height of the rinsing liquid capsule adjacent to it. It is formed on the flushing fluid capsule and formed on the concentric circles of the flushing fluid capsule. On one side, it draws an elliptical curve to the outer circumference of the toothbrush and gradually forms long bristles, so that the front end of the toothbrush forms a dome-shaped curved surface.

For the same purpose, it is also effective to form a cut toothbrush that is cut into a Y shape from the front end to the rear end of the toothbrush. In particular, the center angle (γ) of the Y-shape is preferably 80 to 160°.

The material of the toothbrush can be commonly used nylon and saturated polyester resin. The hardness can be soft, normal, or hard. The thickness of the bristles can be about 0.1~0.3mm in diameter. You can also prepare a round brush with the front ends of the bristles processed into a round shape. The front ends of the bristles are made from bristles. roots The surrounding area is processed into ultra-fine bristles with a thickness of about 0.01~0.03mm. Furthermore, it is better to have hollow bristles in the center of the bristles, which can also have a high plaque removal effect.

In addition, toothbrushes can be fixed on the headstock one by one like hairs. However, in order to improve the ability to remove interdental plaque, it is better to have several toothbrushes like tufted brushes fixed on the headstock at certain intervals. .

The operation of the tooth cleaner of the present invention is also closely related to the shape of the handle. Preferably, the thickness (f), length (d) and width (e) of the handle are 3~7mm respectively. , 8~30mm, and 5~10mm; the curvature of the contact point between the handle and the head and neck, and the arc section (A) formed by the contact point between the handle and the head and neck, is 0~0.33. In this way, the reason why the handle part needs a broad shape from a drum shape to a barrel shape is because especially in the case of a drum shape, as mentioned above, it is fixed by rotating the handle part, so that the appliance equipped with the tooth cleaner can be set to the direction that is easiest to operate. In addition, in order to prevent the hand from slipping, the handle is preferably provided with a shape that can provide an anti-slip function, such as a groove.

In this way, even if the size or shape of the head or the handle is designed, the polisher and the tongue cleaner are suitable as tools to be installed on the opposite side of the head with the head base provided with the toothbrush.

A toothbrush, a polisher, and a dental flosser equipped with a rinse liquid capsule that encapsulates toothbrushing liquid with a water-soluble film capsule as one embodiment of the present invention have been described, but the technical ideas are included in the patentable scope of the present invention. There are many implementation types of tooth cleaners, and to describe them all would require a huge space. Therefore, below, representative embodiments of the present invention are enumerated to clarify the technical idea of the present invention.

First, FIG. 12 shows the toothbrush shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, and FIGS. 10 and 11, which has a built-in rinsing liquid capsule encapsulating toothbrushing liquid with a water-soluble film, a flat polisher, and a dental flosser. , the front schematic view (a) of the tooth cleaner head 1 of the toothbrush 1-12, which replaces the toothbrush 1-11 with a cutout toothbrush 1-12 with a Y-shaped center portion, and a side schematic view from the right side.

It has been described that the toothbrush 1-11 according to one embodiment of the toothbrush described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 is formed in a concentric circle adjacent to the rinse liquid capsule 1-2 provided in the center of the head 1 The length of the toothbrush 1-11 is approximately the same as the height of the flushing fluid capsule 1-2, and continuously grows from the periphery of the flushing fluid capsule 1-2 to the outermost periphery of the toothbrush 1-11, making the toothbrush 1-11 as a whole dome-like. Example of curved surface. However, the shape of the toothbrush of the present invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in Figure 12, it is also preferable to use a cut toothbrush 1-12 which is cut at a specific slope from the center of the head 1 to its front and rear ends. Here, as an example, it is cut into a Y shape. In order to make the central angle equal to the cutting angle γ, the rinsing liquid capsule 1-2 is easily destroyed when brushing the teeth, so that the brushing liquid contained in the rinsing liquid capsule 1-2 spreads over the entire tooth, and the cutting angle γ is preferably 80~160°.
