A method for cleaning an implant (10) within an interdental space (4) in which an interdental space brush (6) with a non-circular cross-section (15) of the brush head (7) is inserted into an interdental space (4) and moved back and forth.

An interdental cleaner has a gripping portion (3) and a cleaning portion (4) formed by an elongate body made from a thermoplastic material. The cleaning portion (4) has a coating made of a self-adhesive, heat-vulcanized rubber material forming peripheral, flexible brush members (6).

A convenient interdental brush is provided in which a bendable bellows structure similar to the corrugated portion of a straw is implemented in the interdental brush, thereby enabling the direction of bristles to be freely changed within the oral cavity.

The interproximal toothbrush includes an appliance body and neck with a nozzle member having a nozzle tip shaped to fit into interproximal teeth spaces. Bursts of air or air/liquid mixture are generated, exiting through the nozzle tip. A helix member or, alternatively, a spring, is supported within a channel in the nozzle member. The helix member is free to rotate as air or the air/liquid mixture is moved through the channel. A set of bristles is attached to a forward end of the helix member, so that it rotates with the helix member. Alternatively, a set of bristles is attached to the distal end of the spring so that successive bursts of air or the air/liquid mixture produce an in-and-out movement of the set of bristles toward and away from the teeth.

A dental tool is provided which is capable of delivering an oligosaccharide containing composition to an oral biofilm, which can prevent and inhibit periodontal disease and in particular to devices and methods which mechanically and chemically disrupt biofilms formed by S. mutans.

An interdental brush comprising an interdental brush bar and a grip, the interdental brush bar having a central shaft and a joint portion, the central shaft surface axially staggering a plurality of first bristle sets and a plurality of second bristle sets, the first bristle set has two first bristles, and the second bristle set has two second bristles, and each of the first bristles is connected with an adjacent second bristles to form a squeegee. The grip connects the joint portion, and the squeegee can increase the contact area with the teeth to enhance the cleaning effect.

An interdental brush includes a handle, a shank extending therefrom, and a bristle portion disposed around the shank. The bristle portion has a plurality of bristle units, each of which has a loading surface facing the handle and having a diameter larger than a diameter of the shank, and a surrounding wall extending from the loading surface toward a direction opposite to the handle with the extent progressively decreasing therefrom. The loading surface and the surrounding wall converge at a brim. The gradually-reduced arrangement of each surrounding wall facilitates an easy entrance into slits between teeth and provides each loading surface and brim with sufficient support to scrape and remove food debris and tartar while pulling the brush out. The revolution of bristle units around the shank helps the brush touch and massage gingivae in a large area, thereby increasing the effect of cleaning teeth and convenience of use.
