Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2819701A1] The invention relates to a toothbrush comprising bristles disposed in such a way as to create a guide space (E) which, during brushing, ensures that the bristles are kept in close contact with the anatomy of the teeth. Guide bristles delimit the guide space and are disposed in a V-shape with a truncated point so that they are ideally positioned in the dental plaque retention areas. The guide bristles are vertical or angular and are at least 3mm taller than the bristles disposed inside the guide space (E). In the case of brushes with bristles that are disposed outside the guide space (E), the height of said bristles can be smaller than or equal to that of the guide bristles so as to reinforce the action of the guide bristles .
