Refill head and oral care implement including the same

An oral care implement comprising:

• a handle component comprising:
• a gripping section extending from a proximal end to a distal end;
• a stem extending from the distal end of the gripping section, the stem comprising a stem cavity and terminating in a sealed distal end;
• a power source;
• and
• a vibratory source disposed in the stem cavity and operably coupled to the power source;
• a refill head comprising:
• a sleeve portion having a sleeve cavity extending along a longitudinal axis from a blind top end to an open bottom end located at a proximal end of the sleeve portion;
• a head portion located at a distal end of the sleeve portion, the head portion and the sleeve portion formed of a rigid material;
• a passageway extending through the head portion from a rear surface of the head portion to a front surface of the head portion;
• a plurality of bristle tufts mounted to the head portion and extending from the front surface of the head portion;
• and
• an integrally-formed monolithic mass of an elastomeric material comprising:
• (1) an elastomeric pad portion located on the rear surface of the head portion and comprising a plurality of elastomeric protuberances extending from the elastomeric pad portion;
• (2) an elastomeric tooth contact element extending from the front surface of the head portion;
• and (3) an elastomeric anchor portion in the passageway connecting the elastomeric tooth contact element and the elastomeric pad portion;
• and
• the refill head alterable between:
• (1) a decoupled state in which the refill head is separated from
• the handle component;
• and (2) a coupled state in which the stem of the handle component is disposed within the sleeve cavity of the refill head such that vibrational energy generated by the vibratory source imparts vibrational movement to the bristle tufts and the elastomeric tooth contact element.
