Oral care implement with cavitation system

摘要

An oral care implement generates cavitation within the oral cavity. One or more cavitation cleaning elements may be located in the head area of the oral care implement. The cavitation cleaning element vibrates at a frequency that produces cavitation of fluids within the oral cavity. The oral care implement may include an elastomeric cavitation cleaning element. A cleaning element may be configured to vibratory release an oral care substance from a container; and a body for gripping the implement.

主权项

1. An oral care system comprising:
an oral care implement comprising:
a handle;a head attached to the handle and defining an oral care region, the oral care region further comprising:
at least one vibratory cavitation cleaning element operably connected to a motion-producing device that vibrates the vibratory cavitation cleaning element at a predetermined breaking frequency; andan oral care substance comprising at least one rupturable capsule containing an oral care active agent, the capsule being formed with frangible thin walls and configured to rupture at the predetermined breaking frequency; and wherein the capsule ruptures to release the active agent when the vibratory cavitation cleaning element vibrates at the predetermined breaking frequency.
