[This Product] Korea's First Medical Toothbrush 'Paditu'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] As the importance of dental health is highlighted due to aging, interest in toothbrushes and toothpaste is also growing. However, in reality, toothbrushes receive relatively less attention compared to toothpaste.

Amid this, a toothbrush that has obtained the first medical patent for the toothbrush bristle head in Korea has emerged, attracting attention.

'Idea Company' (CEO Ha Yong-gil), located in Useong-myeon, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do, launched the 'ParDeToo toothbrush' after more than 20 years of research at the end of last year.

ParDeToo earned the nickname 'medical toothbrush for gum massage and plaque removal' upon its release. This is due to it being the first in Korea to receive a medical patent from the Korean Intellectual Property Office for the toothbrush bristle section. Since its launch, ParDeToo has swept the Gold Prize at the Korea Invention Patent Exhibition and the Bronze Prize at the Seoul International Invention Fair, opening a new horizon for toothbrushes.

The greatest advantage of ParDeToo is that the toothbrush head is composed of dual bristles made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and silicone. As a result, the elasticity of the bristles is superior compared to competing products.

Even when the bristle support protrusions directly touch the teeth, the impact is minimal. It also helps prevent damage to the user's teeth. Because the bristles are elastic, they clean every nook and cranny well as a bonus. Furthermore, plaque removal and gum massage effects can be expected. Since the material is silicone, the toothbrush's lifespan is relatively long. After brushing, it also provides an astonishingly refreshing feeling.

The company explains that with consistent use, the scaling interval can be extended, and overall oral care is possible with just one toothbrush.

In particular, this product has a thin toothbrush head thickness to allow users to use it comfortably inside the mouth.

Ha Yong-gil, CEO of Idea Company, introduced, "The ParDeToo toothbrush is recognized as medical-grade for its excellent plaque removal and gum massage effects, while causing minimal tooth damage."

He added, "By creating protrusions of different heights on the toothbrush body, the lengths of the bristles vary, and by varying the friction force generated between the bristles and teeth depending on the contact area during brushing, it efficiently removes food debris and plaque stuck between teeth, while also allowing the elasticity of the bristles to massage the gums."

The ParDeToo toothbrush is available for purchase on Naver Storefarm and Ol-eun Saenghwal.
