The toothbrush consists of a brush head with bunches of bristles ( ) arranged in a longitudinal bristle bed ( ) and a handle ( ), which is connected to the bristle bed ( ) by a connecting part ( ). The length of the bunches of bristles ( ) varies in the longitudinal direction of the bristle bed ( ) in a wave shape. The first bunches of bristles ( ) are situated at the two outer sides of the bristle bed ( ), have split bristle ends and are of essentially the same length. The second bunches of bristles ( ), whose length varies in the longitudinal direction of the bristle bed ( ), are situated between the two outer sides of the bristle bed ( ). The inventive toothbrush has an improved cleaning action, especially for interdental spaces but also for the gingival line.

A water based liquid tooth cleaning gel is presented with a viscosity below 50 Pa&middot;s (20&deg; C.) comprising

Plaque-controlling liquid tooth cleaning gel

A dentifrice in the form of an aqueous paste or liquid dispersion, comprising 10% to 30% by weight of a combination of silica polishing agents and aluminum oxide in a ratio by weight of 10:0.2 to 10:2, 20% to 50% by weight of a humectant selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, glycerol, 1,2-propylene glycol, and mixtures thereof, and 2% to 12% by weight of a condensed phosphate selected from the group consisting of tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate, trimetaphosphate, and mixtures thereof. The condensed phosphates are in the form of an alkali metal or ammonium salt.

Cleaning agent for dental use comprising a combination of polishing agents based on a silicic acid and aluminum oxide

The present invention relates to a dental care composition containing (a) at least one panthenol compound, (b) at least one retinol compound, and (c) at least one antibacterial compound. The composition is particularly useful for reducing inflammation of the gums.

Anti-plaque toothpaste

Aqueous homogeneous preparations containing 0.0025 to 0.1% by weight antimicrobial biguanide compounds, 0.005 to 0.2% by weight of an alkyl glycoside, 0.01 to 0.3% by weight of a water-insoluble aromatic oil, 0.01 to 0.3% by weight of a solubilizer from the group consisting of ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, ethoxylated fatty acid sorbitan partial esters or fatty acid partial esters of glycerol or sorbitan ethoxylates show high activity despite the low concentration of antimicrobial biguanide compounds. The clear solubility is obtained without ethanol or with only very small contents of up to 15% by weight of ethanol. The preparations are particularly suitable as mouthwashes.
