A dentition cleaning device and system is disclosed for cleaning teeth, gums and dentures. The dentition cleaning device utilizes squeegees that protrude from a cleaning head to provide efficient contact of dentition surfaces during cleaning. The dentition cleaning device is particularly useful for cleaning teeth because the squeegee contact surfaces and remove residues, such as plaque, without causing significant abrasion to surrounding gum tissue which can lead to gum recession. The dentition cleaning device can be configured with bristle sections or with squeegees that are configured to retain water in squeegee channels. The dentition cleaning device is adaptable to water assisted tooth cleaning system and motorized electric teeth cleaning systems. The dentition cleaning device is also particularly useful to be used in conjunction with a low viscosity tooth cleaner that is capable of being delivered through a conventional pump dispenser.
A dentition cleaning device comprising a cleaning head, wherein said cleaning head comprises:
A dentition cleaning device comprising an elongated squeegee member, wherein said elongated squeegee member has a terminus end and extends in at least two non-parallel elongation directions.
A dentition cleaning device comprising a dentition cleaning head comprising a set of elongated squeegee members wherein a first elongated squeegee is a continuous squeegee member that forms an inner squeegee region and outer squeegee region and which protrudes with a continuous protruding squeegee cleaning edge and wherein said set of elongated squeegee members further comprises a second elongated squeegee member positioned within said inner squeegee region wherein a portion of said second elongated squeegee extends in at least one elongation direction substantially similar to said first elongated squeegee member.
A dentition cleaning device comprising a squeegee portion, wherein said squeegee portion protrudes with a squeegee cleaning edge in at least two protruding squeegee directions and wherein said dentition cleaning head provides squeegee cleaning action substantially normal to said at least two squeegee protruding directions in at least two non-coincident wiping planes.
A dentition cleaning device comprising a plurality of squeegee compartments enclosed by squeegee walls wherein a portion of said squeegee walls is shared and boundaries at least two of said plurality of squeegee compartments.
A dentition cleaning device comprising a plurality of elongated squeegee members, wherein a first elongated squeegee member has a terminus end and extends in a first elongation direction and a second elongated squeegee member has a terminus end and extends in a second elongation direction, wherein said first and said second elongation directions are non-parallel.
