Herkömmliche Zahnbürsten weisen üblicherweise Borstenbü­ schel gleicher Härtegrade auf. Obwohl diese Bürsten in der Regel eine ausreichende Reinigung des Gebisses von Zahnbe­ lag und Speiseresten gewährleisten, kommt es häufig vor, daß die Zahnzwischenräume nicht mit gleicher Intensität gereinigt werden wie die Zahnoberflächen, was darauf be­ ruht, daß der Benutzer der Zahnbürste während des Zähne­ putzens nicht feststellen kann, ob er sich gerade in einem Zahnzwischenraum oder auf der seitlichen Zahnoberfläche befindet. Conventional toothbrushes usually have a bristle brush same degrees of hardness. Although these brushes in the As a rule, adequate tooth cleaning from Zahnbe and food remains, it often happens that the interdental spaces are not of the same intensity be cleaned like the tooth surfaces, what is on it rests that the user of the toothbrush during the teeth cleaning can not determine whether he is currently in one Interdental space or on the side tooth surface located.

Es sind zwar schon zahlreiche Vorschläge zur unterschied­ lichen geometrischen Ausgestaltung der Borstenreihe eines Zahnbürstenkopfes bekannt geworden, jedoch waren alle die­ se Vorschläge nicht geeignet, die Aufgabe zu lösen, dem Benutzer einer Zahnbürste die gezielte Reinigung der Zahn­ zwischenräume neben einer befriedigenden Reinigung der Zahnoberflächen zu ermöglichen.There are already numerous suggestions to differentiate union geometric design of the row of bristles Toothbrush head became known, however, all were These suggestions are not suitable for solving the task Users of a toothbrush do targeted cleaning of the tooth gaps in addition to a satisfactory cleaning of the To enable tooth surfaces.

Vorzugsweise befindet sich diese Borstenreihe im vorderen Teil des Bürstenkopfes.This row of bristles is preferably located in the front Part of the brush head.

Durch diese Anordnung kann der Benutzer bei der üblichen vertikalen Zahnreinigungsbewegung die Zahnzwischenräume mit dieser speziellen Borstenreihe erreichen und von Zahn­ belag und Speiseresten reinigen. Durch systematisches Vor­ gehen kann dabei ein Zahnzwischenraum nach dem anderen ge­ zielt gereinigt werden.With this arrangement, the user can in the usual vertical tooth cleaning movement between the teeth with this special row of bristles and from tooth  Clean the topping and leftovers. Through a systematic approach One tooth space after the other can go ge aims to be cleaned.

Die erfindungsgemäß ausgestaltete Zahnbürste kann als ma­ nuelle Zahnbürste oder auch als Aufsteckbürste für Elek­ trozahnbürsten vorliegen.The toothbrush designed according to the invention can be ma natural toothbrush or as a brush for elec there are toothbrushes.
