A powered toothbrush refill head combines a typical round oscillating or primary tuft block which oscillates in a rotational manner with a secondary tuft block. The secondary tuft block may be oscillated in a rotational manner or may oscillate linearly back and forth in the same direction as the handle of the toothbrush. The secondary tuft block could be in the form of a pair of side by side plates mounted on the head adjacent to the round oscillating block. The invention could also be practice where the secondary tuft block is in the form of a plurality of sets of rows of bristles mounted for back and forth movement in a direction perpendicular to the handle.

Powered toothbrush

Electric toothbrush head

An electric toothbrush brush section and method of use thereof is disclosed, the brush section having a generally disk shaped bristle carrier from which extend one or more bristle bearing fingers of varying length and width, which fingers provide increased contact area between bristles and oral gingival tissue for enhanced massaging thereof.

Brush section for an electric toothbrush

The present invention relates to an enhanced cleaning toothbrush bristle pattern, wherein two rows of taller bristle tufts transversely divide the toothbrush head into three sections, the bristle tufts within each section having a trim pattern which in profile is convex in relation to the toothbrush face; wherein the two rows of taller bristle tufts penetrate between teeth, while the curved trim profile of each section provides for good conformity to the curved tooth surfaces and for an improved sweeping action.

Toothbrush having an efficacious bristle pattern

Electric toothbrush

The present invention relates to a toothbrush having a handle formed of interlocking opposed S-curved sections, the first being relatively rigid and the second relatively resiliently flexible, the opposed S-curved sections forming a generally elongated FIG. , having a transverse aperture within each segment of the FIG. , such that during brushing the user can manipulate the relatively rigid and resiliently flexible section to position the bristle bearing face of the toothbrush to conform to the arcuate configuration of the dentiture.

Self-standing toothbrush handle

The present invention relates to a toothbrush having a handle formed of interlocking opposed S-curved sections, the first being relatively rigid and the second relatively resiliently flexible, the opposed S-curved sections forming a generally elongated figure 8, having an aperture within each segment of the figure 8, such that during brushing the user can manipulate the relatively rigid and resiliently flexible section to position the bristle bearing face of the toothbrush to conform to the arcuate configuration of the dentiture.
