- NOTE 1:In laboratory experiments, researchers used infrared motion analysis to track consumers’ brushing movements and consequent levels of plaque removal. NOTE 2:CP developed a unique brush with bristles of three different lengths and orientations. NOTE 3:The longer outer bristles cleaned around the gum line, the long inner bristles cleaned between teeth, and the shorter bristles cleaned the teeth surface. The result was a triple-action brushing effect.

NOTE 2: The tests revealed that CP’s new design was superior to both Oral-B and Reach in accessing front and back teeth, using either horizontal or vertical brushing. NOTE 3: a disclosing solution was used to reveal the colorless plaque, and each tooth was divided into nine specific areas. Presence of plaque was measured on each tooth area. NOTE 4: Three similar designs evolved all incorporating bristles of different lengths that allowed free movement of each individual tuft of bristles which enabled different bristle tufts to target different areas of the mouth helping to reduce the probability of gum disease.
