Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tooth space cleaner, consisting of an elongated cleaning element with or without handle.
  • interdental spaces are difficult to access for normal oral hygiene with manual toothbrushes or electric toothbrushes. So these are a preferred place for the nesting of bacteria with the result of caries or gum diseases such as periodontitis and associated Zahnbettschwund and tooth failure.
  • a fully dentate dentition including wisdom teeth has 30 interdental spaces. Especially with visible enamel lesions, increased caries risk and lying between adjacent teeth crown and filling margins a thorough cleaning of the interdental spaces is indicated, as transitions from the tooth to the dental prosthesis represent bacterial hatching angle or
  • Interdental brushes are particularly effective because they also clean hard-to-reach areas that can not be reached by dental floss. Interdental brushes are effective for open interdental spaces and for periodontitis treatments. Hiding angles between the teeth, under bridges and ridges and on implants as well as tooth surfaces in the area of extracted teeth are effectively cleaned. These brushes are preferably made of a core of double-layered wire, are screwed into the bristles, and therefore have a fairly large cross-section. Therefore, the use of such interdental brushes is very difficult and often even impossible, especially in the case of narrow teeth and in the area of tooth contact points. Furthermore, the wire comes in use with the Teeth in contact, which is often perceived by the user as unpleasant and may cause damage to tooth and gums if used improperly. Also often cost reasons nickel-containing materials are used, which can be triggers for allergies. After the application can be such

  • Such interdental cleaners are very convenient to handle and meet most of the requirements for effective interdental cleaning and have the user-preferred metal freedom.
  • it has been shown in these interdental cleaners that they are not stable enough in use and bend quickly, which is perceived by the user to be detrimental.
  • the invention has the object of providing a tooth space cleaner in such a way that it is stable and easy in the application as a toothpick, can penetrate into narrow interdental spaces and is equipped with a cleaning, massage and brushing, without any risk of injury exists.
  • the cleaning element comprises a core that gives the construction the necessary stability.
  • This core is completely or partially encased with a second material component to a risk of injury from contact with the harder core material to avoid.
  • a third material component is wholly or partially applied, which has the task to clean the interdental spaces thoroughly and gently and to stimulate the interdental papilla by massage action.
  • the stability in the interdental cleaner according to the invention is achieved by a core preferably consisting of a carbon fiber.
  • Carbon fibers are characterized by their excellent properties in terms of weight, strength,
  • Stiffness has the necessary elasticity and because of its small dimensions can penetrate into narrow interdental spaces.
  • the core of the interdental space cleaner according to the invention can also consist of a glass fiber, aramid fiber, natural fiber, plant fiber, a fiber of animal origin, a mineral fiber or a synthetic fiber or of a fiber composite.
