摘要： A cleaning element, in particular for cleaning teeth, comprises a flexible thread-like endless carrier, wherein at least sections thereof comprise radially protruding structured elements. To ensure reliable but gentle cleaning of the tooth surfaces, the structured elements are made from an elastomeric plastic which is preferably injection molded onto the endless carrier. A plurality of support bodies made from this elastomeric plastic can be provided on the endless carrier, spaced apart from one another, the outer surfaces of which bear the structured elements in the form of radially projecting nubs, bristles or ribs.

摘要： The present invention relates to a flavor enhanced protective dental floss comprising a dental floss and various dental desensitizing formulations that taste good. Regular use of such a flavor enhanced protective dental floss will therefore provide not only a significant reduction in the incidence of dental hypersensitivity but also provide all other benefits normally associated with flossing. As a result, consumers will now be able to achieved better overall results; inexpensively, safely, and in a much more pleasurable manner than is otherwise possible.

摘要： A dental floss comprising a porous PTFE fiber having a density of less than about 0.7 g/cc. The inventive floss is abrasion resistant, grippable and has a soft feel to the hands and a rough feel in the mouth. The floss is made by an extrusion process with non-contact heating during subsequent expansion with amorphous locking.

摘要： A mouth pad for cleaning teeth crevices has a U-shaped plate sized to cover substantially only the biting surfaces of the upper and lower teeth of the human jaw. The plate is positioned between the upper teeth and lower teeth such that when the teeth are rinsed with a liquid, the liquid flows primarily through the crevices between individual teeth, and physically detaches the adhering residue within. A method of cleaning teeth using a plate positioned between the upper and lower teeth is also disclosed.

摘要： A container and an interpick carried therein. The container is made up of an outer and in inner casing releasably held together. The casings are constricted as an a non-spill device, whereby none of the liquid therein will spill regardless of what position it assumes. An interpick is releasably carried in the container. Sealing elements with at least a predetermined yiedlability are interposed between the interpick and the inner casing and between the casings.

摘要： Embodied in the flexile forms of both an endless-loop and as a linear-tape, a unique tooth flossing device for cleaning away bacteria between the teeth is set forth. Comprised of a nontoxic extrusion-molded thermo-plastic polyurethane having particular properties of excellent elasticity, almost film-like guage of thickness, and a natural random surface-texture serving to aid the flossing procedure. In use, a FLOSS-LOOP™ is simply held in the user's thumb-&-forefinger of both hands, so as to pre-stretch “thin” that portion to be slid vertically between the teeth. The exceptionally high stretched tensile-strength of this device enables it to endure the duress of insertion between the teeth, yet once interposed interstitially adjacent the gum-line, the release of excess tension upon the tensioned segment of the loop enables it to resume it's natural thickness-guage of approximately 0.325 mm(0.0128-inch). This novel variable-guage capability of the device, making it able to more effectively burnish away substances from the tooth and sulcus of the gum-tissue during it's thicker guage modality; then again be retensioned to approximately only 0.200 mm-guage for easy interstitial removal. Either version of the device may be coated with various agents effective in combating diseases of the teeth and gums.

摘要： A prefabricated dental floss device comprises a dental floss holder (10), having the general shape of an elongate rod-like body and consisting of two interconnected but easily separable holder portions (12, 13) , and a piece of dental floss (11), received in a cavity (15) in the dental floss holder (10) and anchored to the two holder portions (12, 13) with opposite end portions thereof and adapted to become uncovered along the major portion of its length when the holder portions (12, 13) are separated from each other. Said cavity is formed by a narrow groove (15), running in the longitudinal direction of the holder (10) and extending into the holder (10) from one side of the holder, said groove (15) containing the dental floss piece (11) within the same in a position adjacent to the bottom of said groove, the end portions of the dental floss piece (11) being permanently fixed to the holder (10) at places (16) located near mutually opposite ends of the holder.
