Abstract: A head for an oral care implement has a mounting surface and at least one tuft mounted thereon. The tuft has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The tuft comprises a plurality of substantially cylindrical filaments. Each filament has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The cross-sectional area of an individual filament has a substantially non-circular shape. The plurality of filaments is arranged such that the cross-sectional area of the tuft has a scaled-up shape of the individual filament's cross-sectional area.

Abstract: A brush head for an electric toothbrush comprises an attachable housing and a carrier having a mounting side and mounted for driven oscillatory rotational motion around a rotation axis that extends through a center point on the carrier's mounting side. Each of the tufts has a tufting area of at least about 2.0 mm2. Filaments in each of the tufts have a cross-sectional area perpendicular to their length extension direction that corresponds to a circular cross sectional area having a diameter in the range of between 140 ?m and 102 ?m, wherein the brush head comprises only tufts of the defined type.

Abstract: A cleaning section for an electric oral hygiene device is disclosed. The cleaning section includes at least a first carrier mounted for driven rotation or oscillating rotation around a rotation axis; and at least a plurality of first cleaning elements mounted on the first carrier with their bases arranged on the vertices of a first star-shaped polygon around the rotation axis. All of the first cleaning elements are inclined in a circumferential direction such that the free end of each of the first cleaning elements is farther away in the circumferential direction than the base of the respective first cleaning element; and wherein at least one cleaning element property alternates between adjacent first cleaning elements or between clusters of first cleaning elements.

Abstract: A cleaning section for an electric oral hygiene device having a handle section includes a first end adapted to be connected to the handle section; a second end remote from the first end, the second end including a carrier mounted for rotation or oscillation around a rotation axis; and a plurality of cleaning elements mounted on the carrier, the cleaning elements being arranged in at least an inner band and an outer band. The inner band includes a plurality of first cleaning elements having a first color and a plurality of second cleaning elements having a second color. The outer band includes a plurality of third cleaning elements having a third color and a plurality of fourth cleaning elements having a fourth color. The cleaning elements of the inner band and the cleaning elements of the outer band have a Color Contrast (?E) of from about 85 to about 140.

Abstract: A manual toothbrush with a handle and a toothbrush head mounted on the handle. A pivot bearing for pivoting the toothbrush head relative to the handle is arranged between the toothbrush head and the handle.
