Key Characteristics & Benefits
These patents disclose a dentifrice (toothpaste) dispensing electrical toothbrush. Key features include:

• Mini, disposable brush unit (no neck portion) that dispenses toothpaste to the top of bristles
• Permanent driver-pump head with self-sealing spout. This feature prevents the paste from drying (no capping required)
• Refillable toothpaste cartridge – refills in less than 10 seconds, and is refillable at any stage
• Failure-proof pumping: toothpaste can always be pumped out
• Minimal use of battery power as oscillations occur only on the bristle elements without wasting energy on vibrating the drive-shaft support structure  
• Toothpaste pumping does not use battery power
• Brush unit has pushbuttons for snap-on mounting and detaching
• Compact handle with toothpaste cartridge and two AAA batteries – circumferential size is comparable to regular electrical toothbrushes
• Driver-pump head configuration applicable to all modes of bristle oscillations currently used
• Same self-sealing spout, pumping mechanism, and pushbutton mounting features applicable to a manual pump toothbrush
• Working prototypes for both electrical and manual toothbrush models are available for demo and focus group study

Market Potential
This is a key strategic portfolio for manufacturers of electrical toothbrushes as well as dentifrice manufacturers. It provides a dramatic easy-to-understand reason for new and/or replacement purchase.

Companies who have cited the patents include:
Braun, Procter and Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, MediPurpose Private Limited
