Abstract

The assembled ionic tooth brush is intended for mass consumption of human, as well as for maintenance of oral hygiene and therapy of the oral cavity. It consists of two components: universal handle and 3 pieces of brush working heads (see fig.1, pos.1.3, 1.4, 1.5). the upper part of the universal handle has a lighting (see fig.1, pos.1.2) and a titanium dioxide (TiO2) plate, (see fig.1, pos.1.6). Figure 1 at the bottom right shows the toothbrush ready for use. After wetting and turning on the lighting the brush is activated in the mouth cavity. The titanium dioxide plate (semiconductor) generates negative charged ions (see fig.1, pos.1, pos.1.3) which interact with the tooth plaque and lead to its dissociation and this way the cleaning of the teeth is effected without any mechanical pressure. The light we use can be white or ultraviolet, or of both types at the same time. It is known that the ultraviolet rays with specific wavelength of the light: and in acceptable doses have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other positive effects. Thus, by using this tooth brush we can do oral hygiene, antibacterial procedures and current therapy of the oral cavity, on all surfaces and difficult to reach areas. Depending on what procedure we are going to apply, we have to select the corresponding operating mode from the control unit mounted in the bottom part of the handle, (see fig.1, pos.1, pos1.1). The set of brush working heads also includes the ones with massaging elements (see fig.1, pos.1.4, pos.1.5). They are designed for gum massaging (deep). Such massage is a major factor for the prevention and treatment of gingival and periodontal structures in the oral cavity. Using these brush working heads brings a pink (healthy) colour to the gums. The toothbrush with such a design and construction has a wide range of options for a current and future oral health and the costs for its maintaining will be lower.

Description

ASSEMBLED IONIC TOOTHBRUSH FOR HYGIENE AND MEDICAL PROCEDURES IN THE ORAL CAVITY
The invention relates to an assembled ionic toothbrusfj hygiene and medical procedures in the oral cavity with a built-in light. It consists of two components: universal handle (see fig.l, pos.l) and a set of brush heads (see fig.l pos.1.3, 1.4, 1.5). Thk upper part of the universal
f
handle has a built-in lighting (see fig.l, pos.1.2) and a titaniumj dioxide plate (Ti02) (see fig.l, pos.1.6). The brush heads are attached properly to the upper part of the universal handle (see
I
fig.l, pos.1.3) as shown in fig.l at the bottom right. So assembled the toothbrush is ready for use.
An ionic brush is described by (a Japanese manufacturer), wlijich has a built-in titanium dioxide plate (Ti02) in the handle, located outside of the mouth cavity! When a light falls on the wet stich/bar, negative ions are released which entering the mouth cavity neutralize tooth plaque and it gets dissociated. Thus, tooth cleaning is done without mechanical effort. The
|
disadvantages of this type of brush come with a special position the user with open mouth has
5
to take opposite the light source so that an ionic cloud could be generated and enter the mouth
1
cavity. Which part of the ionic cloud enters the mouth can't be determined nor whether it is sufficient for carrying out a quality procedure.
The brush is used only for hygiene of teeth and oral cavity.
The purpose of this invention is to create an ionic brush which to generate ionic cloud fully entering the mouth cavity with no special body/head position to be needed. In addition to hygiene in the oral cavity, such brush to enable carrying ou|t of preventive and medical care procedures of gums and the oral cavity.
The puspose is solved by designing an assembled ionic toothbrush consisting of an universal handle (see fig.l pos.l), to which the brush working heads are coupled (see fig.l pos.1.3, 1.4, 1.5). Depending on the brush's construction a titanium dioxide plate (Ti02) is mounted in an appropriate place to be illuminated. It could be placed in the upper part of the universal handle
||
(see fig.l pos.1.6) or at the bottom of the brush working hpads (see fig.la, pos.1.3.1., 1.4.1, 1.5.1). The light for illuminating the plate can be white or ultraviolet (UV), produced by a light lamp with filament (heated wire) as a light source. In case ofjwhite light the wavelength Of the if
light is within 400 to 700 (four hundred to seven hundred) nanometers (nm), in ultraviolet - from
100 to 400 ( one hundred to four hundred) nanometers. Another source of light might be light diodes (LED): hite light with wavelength of the light from 400 to 700 (four hundred to seven hundred) nanometers (nm) or ultraviolet light - from 100 to 400 (one hundred to four hundred)
5
nanometers (nm). The kind of light to illuminate the plate depends on a type of procedure we li
are going to apply and what wavelength of light will be required. We can brush the teeth by generating ionic cloud with white light and the next antibacterial procedure - with ultraviolet light. Various combinations are possible, including using ultraviolet light for both procedures.
Ultraviolet light with specific wavelength of light and in allowable doses is used in medicine for
I
treatment and prophylaxis of many diseases. It increases body resistance in cold conditions with upper respiratory tract symptoms. It is known that UV light stimulate photobiological processes in human body -the production of vitamin D. The UV radiation activates calcium and phosphate metabolism.
The assembled ionic tooth brush according this innovation offers a wide range of combinations j
to be applied, for meeting the needs of dental hygiene, i.e. it offers options, which is a substantial advantage.
Using the brush allows to carry out not only the current prevention but also an early preventive care of the teeth and tooth structures in the oral cavity. With the brush heads having massaging i|
elements (see fig.l, la, pos.1.4, 1.5), an effective deep massage of the gums and teeth
|
surrounding tissues can be done. The gums get a pink (healthy) colour.
As the main advantage we can note that until now the consumer market has not offered a toothbrush with such options.
An exemplle for implementation of the assembled ionic toot hbrush for hygiene and medical li
procedures in the oral cavity is shown in fig. 1 and fig.la. The gures fig. 1 and fig.la is shown a top view and side view of the whole construction of the tootli brush. Those figures show how li
the universal handle is designed. The batteries for power supjply are placed in the bottom part
I
of the universal handle, where also is mounted the control unjit of the bruch (see fig.l and fig.la pos.1.1.). In the upper part of the brush the lighting (see fig.l and fig.la pos.1.2.) and the titanium dioxide plate (see fig.l pos.1.6) are mounted. The figure la shows an option of the universal handle without titanium dioxide plate, having only the lighting. In this case the titanium dioxide plate is set at the bottom of the brush work head (see fig.la |os.l.3.1, 1.4.1, 1.5.1).
The fixing of the brush heads to the universal handle is on a secret button principle (via buttoning up) which is shown in fig.l and fig.la on the bottom right (pos.1.3).
Depending on what kind of procedure we are going to apply, the respective brush head is fixed, which include: brush working head for brushing teeth (see fig.l and fig.la pos.1.3), brush head for brushing teeth and simultaneously brushing and massaging the gums (see fig.l and fig.la pos.1.4) and brush working head only for massage (fig.l, fig.lja, pos.1.5).
1|
In addition to picking up a brush working head, we have to chbose the lighting type as well, or by
jl
what wavelength of light we will be generating the ionic cloud (see fig.l and fig.la, pos.1,1.3). Depending on what kind of light we will use - white light, ultraviolet light or mixed light, we can
ij
obtain a different sized ion cloud, which is a condition for achieving good oral hygiene for all tooth surfaces and access to all the difficult areas of the oral cavity.

The working principle of the assembled ionic toothbrush is as follows: when light falls on a wet built-in titanium dioxide plate (photosensitive semiconductor), it transforms into negatively charged ions. These ions getting in the saliva attract positive! charged hydrogen ions from the acid in the tooth plaque. This way the acid is neutralized andjthe tooth plaque dissociated (see
ij
fig.l pos.l, 1.3). The hygiene of the teeth, the gums and the joral cavity is performed by gentle motions of the ionic brush with no pressing, or in a most sparing way without damaging the its surfaces. The procedure is carried out without using toothpaste, or a little bit of it can be put on the toothbrush.
The regular use of the assembled ionic toothbrush is a guarantee of a good current and future oral health. Costs for maintaining such oral health will be relatively low.
