Description

Dental cleaner

The present invention provides a dental brush, dental floss, dental pick, tuft brush, interdental brush, polisher, tan cleaner, which is convenient, easy to use, and has excellent comprehensive functions for maintaining healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity. It relates to a gum massager, a dental mirror, and a dental cleaner with a plurality of functions selected from a rinse.

In particular, the dental cleaner of the present invention not only has an excellent function of removing plaque and stains, but also can remove stains on the tongue (tongue coating) and impart a function of massaging the gums, so that tooth decay and periodontal disease can be imparted. It not only protects against illness, but also prevents bad breath, keeps teeth white and clean, is easy to carry, does not require water or paste, and can be used anytime, anywhere. Have. Furthermore, the function of observing the teeth and the oral cavity can be imparted.

The teeth needed to eat food are one of the most important parts of maintaining physical health. It is necessary to get into the habit of brushing teeth after eating and drinking anytime, anywhere, remove plaque that is firmly attached to the teeth, and protect them from tooth decay and periodontal disease. In addition, toothpaste not only protects against tooth decay and periodontal disease, but also makes the teeth look white and eliminates bad breath, so it can give a healthy and clean impression to people. In particular, plaque is a habitat for bacteria in which sugar proteins contained in saliva are formed on a thin film (pellicle) that covers the surface of teeth, and mutans bacteria (dental caries bacteria) use sucrose to make glycocalyx sticky. It creates a substance on the surface of teeth and is also a habitat for periodontal disease bacteria. When this plaque becomes a hardened tartar by sucking the inorganic components of saliva and blood, it not only causes tooth decay, periodontal disease, bad breath, etc., but also causes heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, etc. There is also (Non-Patent Document 1).

An important toothpaste for removing plaque in this way is generally toothpaste using a dental brush and a paste, but even if the dental brush can remove plaque on the tooth surface, the dental brush The tip of the toothpaste is hard to reach the interdental part, and the effect of removing plaque between the teeth is low. Therefore, it has been pointed out that the combined use of dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush and the like is preferable (Non-Patent Documents 2 to 5).

In particular, the interdental plaque removal rate when dental floss is used together reaches 86%, compared with 58% when only the dental brush is used (Non-Patent Document 2).

There are two types of such dental floss: a roll type in which the dental floss is cut and wrapped around the finger, and a holder type in which the dental floss is attached to an arch-shaped holder. The dental floss itself is made of elastic nylon, wax, etc. A large number of twisted polyester filaments containing the plasticizer of the above are still used (Non-Patent Documents 6 and 7).

However, conventionally, dental floss has problems such as elasticity, friction, and toughness that are difficult to cut and damage the gingiva, problems with the ability to remove plaque efficiently, easy to insert between teeth, and teeth after insertion. Improvements have been made from various points of view to the problem of compressive expansion that fits between them.

For the problem of toughness, a technique of using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) having extremely high tensile strength is being studied (Patent Document 1). However, the technique of processing ultra-high molecular weight PE into thin filaments not only requires a great deal of labor, but also has a risk of damaging the gingiva because the elasticity of the ultra high molecular weight PE is too high.

Dental floss using filaments made of water-swellable resin has problems with compression expansion that fits between teeth by swelling with saliva after being inserted between teeth, and problems with removal ability to efficiently remove plaque. Although it may be solved, the problem of the strength of the swollen filament becomes a weak point (Non-Patent Document 6 and Patent Document 2).

Dental floss with a large number of filaments bundled at regular intervals to solve plaque removal, which depends on the thickness of the dental floss filament, the number of twisted filaments, and the number of twists, but is performed only on the surface of the dental floss. It has been proposed (Patent Document 3). However, there is a problem that the filament gets entangled with the teeth.

In addition, porous or hollow polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filaments have been proposed to improve the operability of dental floss to slide comfortably between teeth, i.e., the user's tactile sensation to dental floss (patented). Document 4). However, the filament surface has a low friction property that improves the tactile sensation derived from the material, and conversely, the plaque removing function is insufficient, and cutting due to the lack of toughness derived from the material is also a problem. The low friction property of this PTFE also has a problem that it can be easily removed by being attached to a holder.

In order to solve this problem, PTFE to which fumed silica is added has been proposed, but it becomes a factor that further reduces the toughness of the filament (Patent Document 5).

As a means for facilitating the insertion of dental floss, a conventional dental floss in which a water-soluble polymer is coated on a twisted yarn of nylon or polyester has been proposed. However, since the water-soluble polymer is dissolved in saliva for insertion, the conventional method has been used. The problem of dental floss of twisted yarns of nylon and polyester cannot be solved at all (Patent Document 6).

Further, a method has been proposed in which the plaque removing ability of dental floss using a conventional twisted yarn of nylon or polyester is solved by making the cross-sectional shape of the filament a multi-leaf shape of 3 to 6 leaves. Since it is difficult to compress and deform dental floss based on the material of Nylon, it is difficult to insert it between teeth, there is a risk of damaging the gingiva, and the problem of easy cutting cannot be solved (Patent Document 7).

An elastomer mixed with a plasticizer has been proposed as a dental floss that is easily deformed by compression, but the plasticizer significantly reduces the toughness of the filament (Patent Document 8).

Such optimal dental floss has not yet been found, but as mentioned above, the use of dental floss improves the ability to remove interdental plaque that is difficult to remove by brushing with a dental brush and paste alone. Therefore, a dental cleaner in which a dental brush and a holder-type dental floss are integrated has been proposed (Patent Documents 9 and 10).

Since all of them are configured with an emphasis on portability, they are not configured to fully demonstrate the functions of the dental brush and holder type dental floss, and in particular, the configuration is such that it is difficult to operate the dental floss. Also, although it is portable, it requires paste or liquid dentifrice, water to clean the mouth, towels around the mouth and to wipe hands.

On the other hand, in order to improve the ability to remove plaque between teeth that is difficult to remove by brushing teeth with a dental brush and paste, not only holder-type dental floss but also electric dental brushes equipped with interdental brushes and tuft brushes as adapters are available. It has been proposed (Patent Document 11). In particular, the interdental plaque removal rate when the interdental brush is used together reaches 95%, compared with 58% when the dental brush alone is used, and it is reported that the effect is higher than that of dental floss (Non-Patent Documents). 4). In addition, although the data cannot be compared with dental floss and interdental brushes, tuft brushes have also been found to have a significant improvement in the removal rate of interdental plaque when used in combination with dental brushes (Non-Patent Document 5). Although not described in Patent Document 11, it is known that dental pick has the same effect (Non-Patent Document 3). In this way, it is extremely effective to combine various auxiliary dental cleaners of the dental brush that can enhance the effect of removing interdental plaque, but it is electric and does not have portability that can be used anytime and anywhere. There is a problem (Patent Document 11).

In this way, the combined use of a dental brush and an auxiliary dental cleaner such as dental floss can improve the ability to remove plaque between teeth, but in order to maintain healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, It is necessary to remove stains that cause yellowing and bad breath due to stains in which plaque and food polyphenols, tobacco fat, etc. are combined (Non-Patent Document 8). It is said that the beauty of the mouth is dominated by the color of the teeth, which is closely related to the large influence of the color of the teeth, and the number of applicants for whitening teeth is increasing.

Tooth whitening performed by a dentist or the like uses a bleaching agent such as hydrogen peroxide, but there are chemical and physical methods for removing stains by brushing the teeth on a daily basis (Non-Patent Document 8 and Patent Documents 12 and 19).

The chemical method is a method of using sodium polyphosphate and a paste or liquid containing glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerin having 10 or less carbon atoms, and diglycerin for toothpaste.

Physical methods include a method of using a paste or liquid containing an abrasive such as fumed silica, calcium carbonate, or phosphate for brushing teeth, and a method of using a polisher as a dental cleaner. The polisher is a method using a melamine resin sponge and a rubber and dental brush containing abrasives such as fumed silica, calcium carbonate and phosphate.

The chemical method does not damage the teeth, but has the problem that the effect of removing stains is low, and the physical method has the problem that the effect of removing stains is high, but the effect of removing stains is low.

In particular, the physical method does not require a special paste or liquid, and stains can be removed only with a polisher, so various studies have been conducted as a dental cleaner. As a result, even in the polisher, the rubber containing the abrasive and the dental brush have a problem that the strength of the dental brush itself is lowered and the contact area with the teeth is small due to the material and shape, whereas the strength is high. Since it was considered that a melamine resin sponge having no problem, being easily compressed and deformed because it was a foam, and having a large contact area with teeth was preferable, a dental cleaner using a manual or electric melamine resin sponge was proposed. (Patent Documents 13 and 14).

However, since the melamine resin sponge is formed by condensation polymerization of methylol melamine mixed with a foaming agent and formaldehyde, the problem of tooth wear due to extremely high hardness and the sick house syndrome that remains in the product as an unreacted product. There is a problem caused by formaldehyde, which is the cause (Patent Document 15).

The problem caused by hardness is understood from the fact that melamine resin sponges are widely used as cleaning sponges with a limited usable range. This is because it has a higher hardness than general plastics and therefore damages the surface of glossy plastic products and the like. This hardness is higher than that of tooth enamel, and melamine resin sponge dental cleaners significantly damage teeth and gums. Rubber and dental brushes containing an abrasive also have a problem of damage to teeth and gums due to the abrasive.

The problem caused by formaldehyde is based on the fact that formaldehyde is a typical substance of sick building syndrome that irritates the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract. Formaldehyde remaining as an unreacted product has been reduced by measures such as cleaning, neutralizing agent, and heat treatment, but consideration for safety is indispensable for use as a dental cleaner that comes into contact with the mucous membrane in the oral cavity.

From this point of view, a method of using a single rubber such as silicone having adhesiveness as a polisher instead of the sponge can be considered (Patent Document 16). However, it is considered that the stain removing effect due to the structure of the sponge having innumerable bubbles is not achieved.

On the contrary, since the polisher alone can remove only stains and plaque adhering to the tooth surface, a dental cleaner that integrates the polisher and dental floss or dental pick that removes plaque between teeth has also been proposed ( Patent Document 17).

Further, in order to keep the tongue and gums in the oral cavity healthy and clean as well as between the teeth and the teeth, it is preferable to provide a tan cleaner and a gum massager (Non-Patent Documents 9 and 10).

The tongue has taste buds that sense the sense of taste on the surface of the back of the tongue, which appears to be open, and has a rough protruding tongue papilla that surrounds it. Similar to plaque, tongue coating, which is a mass of bacteria, adheres to the papillae of the tongue and causes bad breath and periodontal disease, so it is desirable to remove it daily. Gingiva plays an important role in supporting the teeth, and if it is not healthy, it causes periodontal disease, so massage of the gums is also one of the important habits.

However, compared to auxiliary cleaning tools such as dental floss, interdental brushes, dental picks, and tuft brushes, it is less well known and is rarely used with toothpaste. Therefore, it is desirable that it is integrated with the dental brush.

In addition, if the condition of teeth, interdental teeth, gums, and tongue, and the results of cleaning and performing with the various tools described above can be easily observed, the oral cavity will be consciously healthy. It is an incentive to keep it clean. However, since there is no habit in the oral cavity and it is rare to prepare a dental mirror, it is desirable to integrate it with a dental brush like a tan cleaner.

As described above, as dental cleaners for maintaining healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, dental brushes, dental floss, dental picks, tuft brushes, interdental brushes, polishers, tan cleaners, gum massagers, dental mirrors, etc. Although various materials and configurations have been studied, each has its own inherent problems, and no dental cleaner has been found that solves these problems.

On the other hand, a dental cleaner equipped with a dental brush and dental floss based on the viewpoint of portability that allows you to brush your teeth anytime and anywhere has also been proposed, but a cleaning agent such as paste or liquid is required and the mouth Water is required to clean the area around the toothpaste and the oral cavity (Patent Documents 9 and 10).

From the viewpoint of such portability and economy, a dental cleaner containing a cleaning agent has been proposed (Patent Documents 17, 18, and 19). Here, the economic efficiency is that the conventional disposable dental cleaner products are set products in which the dental brush and the paste tube are wrapped in a plastic bag, as seen in hotels, etc., and the material cost and processing cost are borne. It's big.

Patent Document 17 integrates a polisher and dental floss, dental pick, etc. for removing plaque between teeth via a tubular member, and liquid or gel-like detergent containing glycerin, menthol, etc. in the tubular member. The built-in dental cleaner is listed. The structure is simple, and the operation is as simple as sending the cleaning agent to the polisher by pressing the tubular member with a finger. However, the polisher is a resin containing an abrasive such as sponge, silica, and calcium carbonate, and has a problem of damaging teeth. In addition, since the dental brush does not function, the polisher must remove plaque and stains adhering to the tooth surface, which puts a heavy burden on the polisher. By using a polisher after removing plaque with a dental brush, stains adhering to the tooth surface can be effectively removed, so in the case of sponge, it will be clogged, and in the case of resin containing an abrasive, it will be polished. The effect of removing stains is significantly reduced due to dropping of the agent or the like. Therefore, it is necessary to carry a dental brush with this dental cleaner. In addition, at least water is needed to clean the oral cavity.

Patent Document 18 proposes a dental brush containing a capsule containing a paste. In this case, there is no dental floss or pick to remove plaque between the teeth, only the function of a dental brush. In addition, since the paste is used, water for brushing teeth and water for cleaning the oral cavity are required.

In Patent Document 19, a dental brush and a dental pick are integrated via a handle molded of a thermoplastic rubber, and an abrasive such as a basic amino acid, a fluoride ion, silica, and calcium carbonate is attached to the base of the dental brush. , And a dental cleaner with capsules containing water containing a thickener or thinner has been proposed. According to this, although it does not have a polisher that can effectively remove stains, there is a problem that the teeth are damaged because the substitute function is left to the abrasive. In addition, it is stated that because the viscosity of the cleaning agent in the capsule is adjusted to be low, it is possible to brush teeth without using water, but in order to discharge the abrasive to the outside of the oral cavity, it is necessary to clean the inside of the oral cavity. Water is considered necessary.

As a result of examining the dental cleaners that have been proposed in the past, in addition to the convenient and easy-to-use function for maintaining healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, and removing plaque and stains, the tongue moss is removed and the gums are massaged. It has a function, not only protects against tooth decay and periodontal disease, but also prevents bad breath, keeps teeth white and clean, does not damage teeth and gums, and does not require water at all, at any time. No dental cleaner that can be used anywhere has been found yet. Moreover, the function of observing the teeth and the oral cavity has not been investigated at all.

Furthermore, conventionally, dental cleaners with functions based on the manufacturer's intention have been provided, but it has been difficult to provide dental cleaners with functions that the user emphasizes.

The present invention is convenient, easy to use, and has excellent overall functions for maintaining healthy and clean teeth and oral cavity, and has a dental brush, dental floss, dental pick, tuft brush, interdental brush, polisher, tan cleaner, and gum. It is a dental cleaner in which a plurality of functions selected from a massager, a dental mirror, and a rinse are integrated, and an object thereof is to provide a dental cleaner that can be used anytime and anywhere.

Further, the dental cleaner of the present invention aims to be able to selectively and easily integrate functions according to the user's request.

In particular, the dental cleaner of the present invention not only has an excellent function of removing plaques, stains, etc., but can also remove stains on the tongue (tongue coating) and impart a function of massaging the gums. A dental cleaner that not only protects against illness, but also prevents bad breath, keeps teeth white and clean, is easy to carry, does not require water or paste, and can be used anytime, anywhere. It is intended to provide, and also to provide the function of observing the teeth and the oral cavity.

In addition, the dental cleaner of the present invention selects a function according to the user's request from dental brush, dental floss, dental pick, tuft brush, interdental brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, dental mirror, and rinse. The purpose is to easily integrate multiple units.

The present inventor has a dental brush with a built-in rinse capsule in which a special toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film, dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, and By integrating two or three selected from the dental mirror, it not only has an excellent function of removing plaques and stains, but also has a function of removing dirt (halitosis) on the tongue and massaging the gums. Not only protects against tooth decay and periodontal disease, but also prevents bad breath, keeps teeth white and clean, easy to carry, does not require water or paste, and is always available. It has been found that a dental cleaner that can be used anywhere and can observe the teeth and the oral cavity can be provided, and the present invention has been completed.

That is, the present invention includes a dental brush containing a rinse capsule in which a toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film, dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental. It is a dental cleaner characterized in that two or three selected from mirrors are integrated.

By integrating two or three tools other than the dental brush in this way, in addition to removing plaque on the tooth surface with the dental brush, dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, and tuft brush can be brushed once. Remove plaque between teeth or in hard-to-reach areas with a dental brush, remove stains on the tooth surface with a polisher, remove tongue papilla tongue moss with a tan cleaner, massage the teeth, and in the teeth and oral cavity It is very convenient because any two or three of the observations can be performed at the same time. Then, these can be selected based on the function that the user emphasizes.

Also, since the toothpaste liquid is built into the dental brush, there is no need to prepare toothpaste or liquid, so it has the advantage of being easy to carry. In particular, the toothpaste liquid of the present invention does not require water, as will be described later, and is therefore characterized in that the toothpaste can be brushed at any time and place.

More specifically, the dental cleaner of the present invention has a head portion in which a dental brush containing a rinse capsule in which a toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film is fixed to one side of the head base, and a head portion having a head neck. And the handle part, the tail neck part with the tail neck, and the tail part with any one of dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror. In a dental cleaner that is joined in this order, one of a polisher, a tan cleaner, a tuft brush, a gum massager, and a dental mirror is provided on the opposite surface of the head base's dental brush fixing surface. It is a dental cleaner with three functions.

Then, it is preferable that the head neck portion and the handle portion and the tail neck portion and the handle portion are detachable so that the tool having the function to be emphasized by the user can be freely selected and provided. Also, since the operation of the dental brush and the dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror are completely different, the handle part is flat so that each can be operated easily. The head neck part and the handle part and the tail neck part and the handle part are pivotally connected and can be fixed so that the head neck part and the handle part and the tail neck part and the handle part can be freely rotated and fixed in a shape that is easy to operate, for example, a drum shape. It is preferably fitted.

Further, the dental cleaner of the present invention includes a head portion in which a dental brush containing a rinse capsule in which a toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film is fixed to one side of a head base, and a head portion having a head neck. A handle, a tail neck with a tail neck, and a tail with at least one of dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, polisher, tuft brush, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror. However, in a dental cleaner formed by joining in this order, at least one of a polisher, a tan cleaner, a tuft brush, a gum massager, and a dental mirror is provided on the opposite surface of the dental brush fixing surface of the head base. At least one of the dental pick, interdental brush, polisher, tuft brush, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror, which are connected to the handle side of the neck or tail neck, can be attached to and detached from the handle part. This is a dental cleaner that is housed in a built-in portion formed inside any of the head neck portion and the tail neck portion and has four functions.

Even in this dental cleaner, the head neck part and the handle part, and the tail neck part and the handle part must be removable so that the tool of the function that the user attaches importance to can be freely selected and provided. Is preferable. Also, since the operation of the dental brush and the dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror are completely different, the handle part is flat so that each can be operated easily. The head neck part and the handle part, and the tail neck part and the handle part are pivotally connected and can be fixed so that the head neck part and the handle part and the tail neck part and the handle part can be freely rotated and fixed in a shape that is easy to operate, for example, a drum shape. It is preferably fitted.

Further, from the viewpoint of operability, since the dental brush requires the most force, the length from the center of the handle portion to the tip of the head portion (b) and the length from the center of the handle portion to the tip of the tail portion (c). ) Is preferably b: c = 5: 5 to 8: 2, and more preferably b: c = 6: 4 to 7: 3. Since there are individual differences in the length ratio that is easy to operate, it is possible to provide a dental cleaner suitable for each user by preparing dental cleaners having different length ratios. It is generally accepted that the operability of each tool is lowered by integrating the tools having different functions, but the dental cleaner of the present invention solves such a problem.

As described above, the dental cleaner of the present invention integrates various operation tools such as a dental brush, dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, polisher, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror. Therefore, it is necessary to devise various ideas such as the arrangement, positional relationship, and shape of the head portion, head neck portion, handle portion, tail neck portion, and tail portion.

For heads with a dental brush fixed to one side of the head base, one of a polisher, tan cleaner, tuft brush, toothpaste massager, and dental mirror is placed on the opposite side of the head base to which the dental brush is fixed. Since it is fixed, it is easiest to brush the teeth, and the angle (α) formed by the brush fixing surface inclination line (X) and the horizontal line of the head base of the head part is 70 to 95 ° so that it makes proper contact with the tooth surface. The curvature (D) of the arc portion of the cross section from the surface of the head neck on the dental brush side to the rear end of the dental brush is preferably 0.08 to 0.50.

Similarly, the length (g), width (h), and length (n) of the dental brush from the front end to the rear end are 10 to 16 mm, 7 to 11 mm, and 4 to 10 mm, respectively. The curvature (B) of the arc portion from the tip end to the rear end of the dental brush is preferably 0.07 to 0.20.

The size and shape of such a dental brush are designed in consideration of not only the operability of the dental brush but also the operability of the tool provided on the opposite surface of the head base to which the dental brush is fixed. The length of the dental brush may be uniform or non-uniform, but if the length of the dental brush is too large, it becomes extremely difficult to operate the tool provided on the opposite surface of the head base to which the dental brush is fixed.

Also, since the rinse capsule built into the dental brush is attached to the center of the dental brush, it is as long as the height of the rinse capsule so that the rinse capsule is easily broken and the toothpaste liquid is supplied. A dental brush is formed adjacent to the rinse capsule on the concentric circles of the rinse capsule, and a long brush is gradually formed while drawing an elliptical curve to the outer periphery of the dental brush so that the tip of the dental brush becomes a dome-shaped curved surface. Is preferable.

For the same purpose, it is also effective to use a Y-shaped cut dental brush from the tip to the rear end of the dental brush. In particular, the Y-shaped central angle (γ) is preferably 80 to 160 °.

As the material of the dental brush, commonly used nylon and saturated polyester resin can be used. The hardness can be soft, normal, and hard, and the thickness of the brush can be uniform with a diameter of about 0.1 to 0.3 mm, but the tip of the brush is round. It is also possible to prepare a round brush that has been processed and an ultrafine brush that has been processed from the vicinity of the base of the brush so that the tip of the brush has a thickness of about 0.01 to 0.03 mm. Further, a hollow brush in which the center of the brush is hollow is also more effective in removing plaque and is more preferable.

In addition, dental brushes may be fixed to the head base one by one like hair, but in order to enhance the ability to remove plaque between teeth, several dental brushes like tuft brush are used as head base. It is preferable to fix the teeth at regular intervals.

The operation of the dental cleaner of the present invention is closely related to the shape of the handle portion, and the thickness (f) of the handle portion, the length (d) of the handle portion, and the width (e) are 3 to 7 mm, respectively. , 8 to 30 mm, and 5 to 10 mm, and the curvature of the cross-sectional arc portion (A) formed by the contact point between the handle portion and the head neck portion and the contact point between the handle portion and the head neck portion is 0 to 0. It is preferably .33. In this way, the handle portion requires a wide range of shapes from drum-shaped to barrel-shaped, especially in the case of a drum-shaped handle, as described above, by rotating and fixing the handle portion, it becomes a dental cleaner. This is because it is possible to set the provided equipment in the direction that is easiest to operate. Further, it is preferable that the handle portion is provided with a shape capable of imparting a non-slip function, for example, a creek or the like, so that the hand does not slip.

As described above, even if the size and shape of the head portion and the handle portion are devised, a polisher and a tongue cleaner are suitable as tools to be attached to the opposite surface of the head base provided with the dental brush of the head portion. This is because the dental brush, polisher, and tongue cleaner are easy to operate, and each function can be exhibited most effectively. In addition, by deploying a polisher or tongue cleaner on the head part, other tools such as dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, gum massager, and dental mirror can be attached to the tail part or handle part, head. This is because it can be deployed in the internal portion formed inside either the neck portion or the tail neck portion, and different functions can be imparted to the dental cleaner in a well-balanced manner.

Therefore, the head part with a dental brush containing a rinse capsule in which the toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film is fixed to one side of the head base, the head neck part with the head neck, the handle part, and the tail neck. The tail neck portion provided and the tail portion provided with any one of dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror are joined in this order. In the dental cleaner, a dental cleaner having a polisher on the opposite surface of the fixed surface of the dental brush of the head base is preferable.

In addition, the head part with a dental brush containing a rinse capsule in which the toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film is fixed to one side of the head base, the head part with the head neck, the handle part, and the tail neck. The tail neck provided and the tail provided with any one of dental floss, dental pick, interdental brush, tuft brush, tan cleaner, gum massager, and dental mirror are joined in this order.

Rinse capsules are generally called soft capsules, and the manufacturing methods thereof include seamless manufacturing methods and rotary manufacturing methods that have already been technically established (Non-Patent Document 15). In the seamless manufacturing method, a chemical solution contained from the inside of a concentric double nozzle and a coating solution containing a gelling agent or the like are dropped from the outside, and a sphere having a double structure is used by interfacial tension. This method is also called a dropping method for producing capsules. The rotary manufacturing method is a more general soft capsule manufacturing method, in which two film sheets are sandwiched between a pair of cylindrical molds so as to overlap each other, and a chemical solution contained between the two sheets is sandwiched between the two sheets. This method is also called a punching method in which injection is performed and pressure cutting and crimping are performed simultaneously with a die. In this embodiment, the latter rotary manufacturing method is used. As a result, a rinse capsule 1-2 having a diameter of about 5.0 mm containing the toothpaste liquid in the film can be stably produced, and the head base 1-61 of the head portion 1 of the dental cleaner of the present invention can be stably produced. It was placed in a recess and held by capsule pins 1-3.

When I brushed my teeth with the dental cleaner manufactured in this way, it was convenient and easy to use, it had an excellent function of removing plaque and stains, it was easy to carry, and it did not require any water or paste, anytime, anywhere. It has been demonstrated that it can be used.

An embodiment of the present invention, which describes a dental brush including a rinse capsule in which a toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film, a polisher, and a dental floss, has been described. The dental cleaner included in the technical idea of the range has many embodiments, and it takes a huge amount of space to explain all of them. Therefore, a typical embodiment of the present invention will be taken up below to clarify the technical idea of the present invention.

First, FIG. 12 shows a dental brush, a flat type polisher, and a dental floss containing a rinse capsule in which the toothpaste liquid is encapsulated with a water-soluble film, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 and 10 and 11. In the provided dental cleaner, the front schematic view (a) of the dental cleaner head portion 1 in which the dental brush 1-11 is replaced with the cutting dental brush 1-12 whose central portion is cut in a Y shape, and from the right side thereof. The side schematic view which was seen is shown.

The dental brush 1-11, which is an embodiment of the dental brush described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, has concentric circles of the rinse capsules 1-2 adjacent to the rinse capsules 1-2 arranged in the center of the head portion 1. The length of the dental brush 1-11 is made substantially the same as the height of the rinse capsule 1-2, and the length is continuously increased from the periphery of the rinse capsule 1-2 toward the outermost periphery of the dental brush 1-11 to make the dental. An example in which the entire brush 1-11 is formed to have a dome-shaped curved surface has been described. However, the shape of the dental brush of the present invention is not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 12, a dental brush 1-12 in which the dental brush is cut from the center of the head portion 1 to the front end and the rear end thereof with a certain inclination is also preferably used. Here, as an example, it is cut into a Y shape. Assuming that the central angle is the cutting angle γ, the rinse capsule 1-2 is easily destroyed when brushing the teeth, and the toothpaste liquid contained in the rinse capsule 1-2 is cut in order to spread over the entire tooth. The angle γ is preferably 80 to 160 °. Further, the dental brush 1-12 drawn in FIG. 12 is a portion in which several hair bundles such as a tuft brush are fixed to the head base 1-61 at regular intervals and cannot be reached by a normal dental brush.
