A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11986086B2) discloses an interdental cleaning tool designed to effectively clean the spaces between teeth. The tool comprises a base portion with a shaft insertable in the interdental space, a top end side cleaning portion with softer bristles covering the top end side of the shaft, and a base end side cleaning portion with harder bristles covering the base end side of the shaft. The top end side body and bristles have lower hardness compared to the base end side body and bristles, ensuring efficient cleaning while being gentle on the gums.

Furthermore, the interdental cleaning tool features a design where the top end side cleaning portion has a different hue from the base end side cleaning portion, allowing for easy identification and differentiation between the two sections. The base end side cleaning portion is constructed using a composite material comprising elastomer and a reinforcing material, ensuring durability and effectiveness in removing plaque and debris from interdental spaces. This innovative tool provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining oral hygiene by targeting hard-to-reach areas between teeth with varying levels of hardness and materials for optimal cleaning results.
