Abstract

The Dent-Chew Brush is an oral appliance designed similarly to a mouth guard, in that it has two inverted channels in which the teeth are positioned when it is placed into the mouth. In its completed design it provides the user with the ability to brush all three exposed surfaces of the teeth of the upper and lower bite, the gingival margin, and the surface of the tongue. The completed process produces clean teeth and freshened breath that is comparable to a traditional brushing. The appliance will provide military personnel in the field the same level of oral hygiene as traditional brushing but without the need for water or a dentifrice. Additionally, the market includes anyone who desires to brush their teeth at their discretion using a completely self contained appliance. The Dent-Chew Brush is a single use disposable piece that is water soluble and bio-degradable.
