Reconfigurable modular brush and associated brush kits
A reconfigurable modular brush has a brush head including brush-head upper and lower surfaces extending longitudinally along a brush-head axis between brush-head first and second ends. Laterally opposed brush-head first and second sides extend between the brush-head upper and lower surfaces and longitudinally between the brush-head first and second ends. A bristle array is defined by a plurality of bristles protruding from the brush-head lower surface. A brush handle includes a grip portion and a brush-head mount, the brush handle having a lengthwise extent disposed generally along a handle axis between handle proximate and distal ends. The brush head and brush-head mount are cooperatively configured such that the handle can selectively capture and retain the brush head. Moreover, the longitudinal orientation in which the brush head is captured and retained by the brush handle is selectively reversible.

Ergonomic Handle Scraper
The Ergonomic Handle Scraper includes an ergonomic handle device that may be adapted to perform a wide variety of tasks such as scrubbing, scraping, scooping, cutting, brushing, painting, sanding, grating, shaving, etc. The device may be produced in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and may be constructed from a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes. The Ergonomic Handle Scraper provides a user with a compact, ergonomic handle which may be used in conjunction with other adjoining and complementary shapes, materials, surfaces, textures or tools. More specifically, the ergonomic handle is the basic component that enables other components to be combined with or extended from the handle.
Toothbrush
The present invention relates to a toothbrush comprising a head portion comprising a cleaning formation for cleaning teeth in use. A handle portion is connected to the head portion. The toothbrush comprises a musical wind instrument, the wind instrument comprising a resonant cavity extending within one or both of the head portion and the handle portion, and an air inlet operatively connected to the cavity and configured to induce resonance with the cavity by exhalation from the user in use.

TISSUE CONTACTING DEVICE FOR ORAL AND OTHER MEDICAL PROCEDURES
A system for laser-based medical use and laser-based oral surgery. The system includes an elongate handle having a proximal end and a distal end; a (e.g., disposable, selectively removable) functional element disposed at the distal end of the elongate handle; and an integral, soft coating material formed about, so as to cover, the functional element and the distal end of the elongate handle. In some implementations, the elongate handle includes a rigid (e.g., polycarbonate) portion and a soft (e.g., thermoplastic elastomer) portion for improving a user's grip of the elongate handle.
INTERDENTAL BRUSH AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR THE SAME
An interdental brush of the present disclosure includes a base part including a handle part that is grippable by a user, and a core part extending from the handle part and having a diameter or thickness that decreases as a distance from the handle part increases, and a soft part including an anti-slip part covering at least a part of the handle part, and an interdental cleaning part covering the core part and including a plurality of projections for removing foreign substances between teeth, the soft part being formed of an elastic material. The base part includes a plurality of through holes disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction, and the soft part is provided in a space formed by at least one of the plurality of through holes.
Oral care system and method
A method for oral care. In one aspect, the method for oral care includes a) receiving sensor data from at least one sensor configured to detect motion of an oral care device during a brushing routine of a user, the sensor data corresponding to the detected motion; and b) determining a target brushing time based on the sensor data. In another aspect, the method for oral care includes a) receiving sensor data from at least one sensor configured to detect brushing intensity during a brushing routine of a user, the sensor data corresponding to the detected brushing intensity; and b) determining a target brushing time based on the sensor data.
Pinch grip toothbrush handle
A toothbrush with a pinch grip toothbrush handle facilitates a healthier brushing technique by encouraging the use of a pinch grip. A pinch grip handle with one or more finger grooves encourages the use of a pinch grip, thereby reducing the amount of pressure a user can apply during brushing at any brushing orientation. A finger groove may be contoured, consisting of concave surface areas and optionally convex surface areas. A handle may feature a pair of finger grooves that resemble a peanut or hour glass shape, which encourages the use of a pinch grip. Embodiments may take the form of a supplemental attachment to a toothbrush, or an integral part of a solid single-piece toothbrush.
