Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0481926A1] The present patent concerns an object to be used for the cleaning of teeth and gums, of a different form from those generally used at present, which are in the form of a toothbrush, with a different method of use from that of a toothbrush. The invention is constituted by a tool which at one end has a haired structure (1) for a cleaning action (rubbing) on the teeth and, at the opposite end, a profile of the toothpick type (3) to remove food debris from the teeth. The haired section (1) or brush, is protected by a cap (4) which can contain a certain quantity of product suitable for the cleaning and treatment of teeth. The object is profiled in such a way that the action of the brush (1) and of the toothpick (3) can be applied either to the outside surfaces or to the inside surfaces of the teeth. <IMAGE>
