Abstract: A toothbrush capable of permitting tips of fillings thereof to enter or reach areas such as recesses between teeth, boundaries between teeth and gingivae, and the like to effectively remove dental plaque and the like and exhibit a soft feeling sufficient to prevent damage to gingivae. The toothbrush includes fillings made of a synthetic filament material. The fillings are each formed at both tips thereof into a pointed tapered shape and tied up into a plurality of bundles. The pointed tapered tips of the fillings are each formed with a length of 4 to 8 mm and a non-tapered section of each of the fillings is formed with a maximum diameter of 0.16 to 0.20 mm. Filling setting holes of a filling setting base provided at distal end of a handle of the toothbrush so as to set the bundles of the fillings thereon are formed with a diameter of 1.5 to 2.0 mm and spaced from other holes at an interval of 1.0 to 1.2 mm in the longitudinal direction of the handle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brush which comprises a handle portion, a base portion formed with recesses for holding filaments or bristles, an insert which acts as holding means for holding the filaments or bristles in the recesses, and filaments or bristles held in the recesses by the insert. According to the invention, the base portion of the brush, and possible also the handle portion, is formed of a particular plastic which permits the insert which holds the filaments or bristles to press into the sides of the recesses with considerable pressure without cracking the sides so as to permit better holding of the filaments or bristles in the brush base.
