Tooth cleaning device
10980622 · 2021-04-20 · ·

A tooth cleaning device for the specific cleaning of crevices between teeth and gingival pockets having a curved carrier body in the shape of a jaw and a resilient, curable dental impression material, which is applied on both sides of the carrier body. The impression material is applied at a low height such that, during use, only the occlusal surfaces of teeth submerge into the dental impression material, while the crevices between teeth are largely free from the dental impression material. The carrier body has at least one, preferably a plurality of centering projections, which ensure that the tooth cleaning device is inserted in a centric position of the jaw. The device forms a barrier between the actual oral cavity (cavum oris proprium) and the oral vestibule, that is, the space between the lips/cheeks and row of teeth (vestibulum oris). In view of this barrier, the crevices between teeth present the only passage through which a cleaning fluid can be pressed by moving the tongue and/or cheek muscle.
