Oral care implement

An oral care implement comprising:

• a handle;
• a head coupled to the handle, the head comprising a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a central transverse plane, the longitudinal axis intersecting and orthogonal to the central transverse plane;
• an elastomeric soft tissue cleanser comprising a plurality of protuberances extending from the rear surface of the head and terminating in free ends, the free ends of the protuberances collectively forming a longitudinal side profile having a height, measured from the rear surface of the head, that decreases with longitudinal distance from the central transverse plane, and the free ends of the protuberances comprising at least one transverse top profile having a height, measured from the rear surface of the head, that decreases with transverse distance from the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the front surface of the head and terminating in free ends, the free ends of the tooth cleaning elements collectively defining a longitudinal side profile having a height, measured from the front surface of the head, that increases with longitudinal distance from the central transverse plane, and the free ends of the tooth cleaning elements comprising at least one transverse top profile having a height, measured from the front surface of the head, that increases with transverse distance from the longitudinal axis.

An oral care implement comprising:

• a handle;
• a head coupled to the handle, the head comprising a front surface and a rear surface opposite the front surface, the head extending from a proximal end of the head to a distal end of the head along a longitudinal axis;
• an elastomeric soft tissue cleanser comprising a plurality of protuberances extending from the rear surface of the head and terminating in free ends, each of the protuberances having a height measured from the rear surface of the head to its free end, and wherein the free ends of the protuberances comprise at least one convex transverse top profile formed by a variation in the heights of the protuberances along a first transverse plane that intersects and is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the front surface of the head and terminating in free ends, each of the tooth cleaning elements having a height measured from the front surface of the head to its free end, the free ends of the tooth cleaning elements comprising at least one concave transverse top profile formed by a variation in the heights of the tooth cleaning elements along a second transverse plane that intersects and is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.
