The present invention discloses a system and method related to the field of dentistry, specifically dental appliances such as retainers, dentures, grills and athletic mouth-wear and is proposed to provide advanced assembly in providing assistance in cleaning the appliances through improved measures. Currently, there are cleaning methods for retainers and dentures, however they only include liquid solution methods without automatic moving bristles. As per the present art, users soak their retainers or dentures in the solution and then are required to use a toothbrush to scrub off excess liquid solution or built-up plaque that was not dissolved by the solution, making the process too repetitive and time consuming. Additionally, the toothbrush does not provide automatic circular motion, which is preferred in order to produce retainers or dentures that are plaque-free and completely transparent. Finally, appliances can be damaged and break when using a handheld technique with a toothbrush due to lack of support and stability for the appliance. This cleaning device takes into consideration these deficiencies and corrects them to make the process more effective and convenient for all users in any environment.

The present invention relates to an electrochemical device for releasing ions, comprising an electrical circuit comprising a first electrode and a second electrode adapted for providing a galvanic cell when the electrodes are exposed to a fluid constituting an electrolyte, and a boost converter adapted for amplifying a potential generated between the first and the second electrode. The electrical circuit further comprises a third electrode connected with an output side of the boost converter, wherein the second and the third electrode constitutes an electrolytic cell powered by the galvanic cell when the electrodes are exposed to a fluid. The present invention further relates to devices, such as a toothbrush or a shaver, adapted for being used in connection with a fluid, comprising such electrochemical device for releasing ions.

A denture cleaning kit that includes: a wipe; and a cleaning tool, wherein the cleaning tool is used with the wipe to clean dentures. The wipe preferably includes a series of ridges over the surface. The cleaning tool includes a brush at a first end and a knife at a second end. The wipe may be made of cotton and the cleaning tool may be made of plastic.

A denture brush that includes a frame having a plurality of wall pieces disposed at an outer circumferential part of a flat plate-shaped base, and first bristle tufts are arrayed on the wall pieces, and second bristle tufts 6 are arrayed in a center region of the base, and third bristle tufts are arrayed on an outer circumferential side of the second bristle tufts. When the denture brush is not housed in a holder, the wall pieces are positioned radially along the outer circumferential part of the base so as to be horizontal with respect to the base. When the denture brush is housed in the holder, the wall pieces are supported by a wall surface of a denture-brush-housing portion of the holder, and are positioned so as to stand upright with respect to the base.

The present invention relates to an electrochemical device for releasing ions, comprising an electrical circuit comprising a first electrode and a second electrode adapted for providing a galvanic cell when the electrodes are exposed to a fluid constituting an electrolyte, and a boost converter adapted for amplifying a potential generated between the first and the second electrode. The electrical circuit further comprises a third electrode connected with an output side of the boost converter, wherein the second and the third electrode constitutes an electrolytic cell powered by the galvanic cell when the electrodes are exposed to a fluid. The present invention further relates to devices, such as a toothbrush or a shaver, adapted for being used in connection with a fluid, comprising such electrochemical device for releasing ions.

A method of identifying a toothbrush user from among a plurality of different toothbrush users comprises obtaining data indicative of toothbrush motion relative to at least two axes of the toothbrush and filtering the motion data to extract motion data over a predetermined frequency range, such as within a predetermined frequency passband. A motion component distribution of the filtered motion data is determined, and the motion component distribution is compared with a plurality of user-specific motion component distributions to establish the data as indicative of one of said plurality of users. Toothbrushing data captured by a multi-user toothbrush motion tracking system can thereby be ascribed to a correct user within a cohort of users of the system.

An individual-patient one-day oral care kit comprises a housing and a plurality of sealed trays disposed within the housing. Each of the sealed trays contains oral hygiene components. By one approach at least one of the sealed trays contains an oral hygiene component comprising a toothbrush that is unique to that particular tray. By one approach all of the sealed trays contain at least one same oral hygiene component. By one approach each of the sealed trays is configured to serve a patient's oral hygiene compliance requirements in accordance with an event driven schedule during a single day.

A toothbrush comprises a handle section and a brush head. The handle section further comprises a channel having at least one outlet opening which is fluidly coupled to a toothpaste supply, wherein the toothpaste is conveyed from the toothpaste supply via the channel to the at least one outlet opening via a suction process carried out with a mouth of an user.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to an oral cleaning implements having a head and a handle. The implements distal end of the handle may be a tool adapted for removal of denture adhesive from dentures.
