Definitions

  • the metallic bristle carrier or the metal core may cause injuries to the gums and/or the dental enamel, for example, due to cuts or punctures. Furthermore, there is a risk that dental implants will be scratched because of the metallic bristle carrier. Injuries in the oral region lead to the risk of colonization with microorganisms and inflammations, which may lead, for example, even to peri-implantitis, bone loss and/or loss of tooth, especially the loss of an implant as a consequence. To minimize these risks, intensive training of the patient is necessary, so that he will be able to use the prior-art interdental brush as expertly as possible.
  • a basic object of the present invention is to perfect an interdental brush of the type mentioned in the introduction such that cleaning of the interdental space and/or implant is facilitated; in particular, the risk of injury and/or damage during the use of an interdental brush shall be reduced.
  • the entire brush head and thus both the bristles and the bristle carrier can be manufactured from a plastic material in a single manufacturing step.
  • manufacturing the bristle carrier from an injection-moldable plastic material facilitates the manufacture of an elastic and/or flexible bristle carrier and/or brush head.
  • the risk of injury to the gums and/or dental enamel can be reduced hereby.
  • an interdental brush according to the present invention can be embodied in an especially short time and/or in an especially cost-effective manner.
  • the brush head is configured as a rotationally symmetrical brush head in relation to the longitudinal axis or central axis of the bristle carrier.
  • the brush head can thus have an essentially round cross section.
  • the interdental brush according to the present invention can be disinfected and/or optionally even autoclaved more hygienically and/or better, especially because a suitable material is selected.
  • the risk of spreading microorganisms can be markedly reduced hereby in case of multiple use.
  • the risk of an undesired interaction, especially oxidation, of the interdental brush or of the brush head during storage and/or cleaning in a solution, especially in a chlorhexidine solution is considerably reduced and preferably completely eliminated.
  • the brush head with the bristle carrier and with the bristles preferably consists of a single plastic material suitable for injection molding.
  • the brush head can thus be manufactured in a cost-effective manner in a single manufacturing step.
  • the brush head, bristle carrier and/or bristles are preferably elastic and/or flexible.
  • the risk of injury to the gums and/or dental enamel and/or of damage to dental implants is considerably reduced as a result.
  • the cleaning area in an interdental space, especially in a region of the neck of a tooth can be optimized and/or enlarged hereby.
  • the rigidity of the bristles is preferably lower than the rigidity of the bristle carrier. This is achieved, in particular, by the thickness of the material of the bristle carrier being selected to be greater than the thickness of the material of the bristles.
  • the bristle carrier may also be called core, especially of the brush head.
  • the brush head may be pushed, especially optionally, into the interdental space, preferably at least partially through the interdental space, from the lingual direction or from the buccal direction. Due to the elastic and/or flexible properties of the brush head, of the bristle carrier and/or of the bristles, the brush head is compressed in a narrowed middle area of the interdental space. The brush head unfolds again on exiting the narrowed area on the push-out side facing away from the push-in side of the interdental space. As a result, the entire interdental space can be cleaned, especially on both the lingual side and the buccal side.
  • the interdental brush is preferably moved to and fro in the interdental space for cleaning the interdental space.
  • directly adjacent bristles are arranged with an angle difference of less than 90° on the bristle carrier.
  • the angle difference pertains to directly adjacent bristles, which are arranged in a plane extending crosswise and/or at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the bristle carrier.
  • the bristles may be arranged in a plurality of planes, which are arranged transversely and/or at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the bristle carrier and are located at spaced locations from one another in the longitudinal direction of the bristle carrier.
  • at least 15 or at least 18 planes are provided. Twenty-five to 100 planes, especially 18 or 50 planes, are preferably provided.
  • the bristles of two planes directly following each other in the longitudinal direction of the bristle carrier may be arranged offset in relation to one another by half the angle difference between two directly adjacent bristles in the same plane.
  • the angle difference of two directly adjacent bristles preferably equals less than 60°, preferably less than 45° and preferably less than 30°.
  • the angle difference of directly adjacent bristles, especially in a plane extending crosswise and/or at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the bristle carrier especially preferably equals a value between 30° and 40°.
  • the angle difference is especially exactly 36° or 72°.
  • a high density of bristles extending away from the bristle carrier in an radially outward manner can thus be achieved. The cleaning action is considerably improved hereby.
  • the bristles have a bristle length in the range of 1 mm to 2.5 mm.
  • the bristle length equals 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.95 mm or 2 mm.
  • the bristle length is preferably measured or determined from an imaginary center line or central axis of the bristle carrier.
  • the bristles may have an essentially cylindrical configuration.

  • the flat and/or planar wall sections of the bristles may be aligned parallel to one another and/or parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bristle carrier.
  • the flat and/or planar wall sections of the bristles which are arranged in a plane extending transversely and/or at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the bristle carrier, may be aligned parallel to one another.
