robotic toothbrush created to allow people with disabilities to brush their teeth effectively and independently .

People with physical and mental disabilities currently only have two options for brushing their teeth , rely on a family member or a caregiver , or brush on their own and compromise their health with subpar cleaning . Studies have shown that a staggering 88 % of individuals with disabilities suffer from dental problems , highlighting the urgent need for a tailored solution .

Developed for over eight years , Samba utilises a pioneering combination of low and high-frequency oscillations , propelling 12,900 soft bristles along the teeth with a dynamic brushing motion that helps remove plaque and debris thoroughly from the teeth and gums . This technology eliminates the need for manual hand movements , granting individuals newfound independence in their oral care routine .

" Samba was developed with the belief that everyone , regardless of their abilities , deserves a healthy mouth ; having a disability should not stand in the way of good oral hygiene ," said Eran Eyal , an Inventor of Samba .

" Samba is a pioneering innovation at the intersection of technology and oral health , exemplifying our commitment to inclusivity and the well-being of all individuals , regardless of their physical or mental abilities ," added Steffen Mueller , Managing Director , Curaden , USA . " By eliminating barriers and empowering people with disabilities to brush their teeth effectively and independently , Samba opens the door to a healthier future for millions of individuals worldwide . We are proud to introduce this much-needed solution , which embodies our dedication to premium oral care and signifies our unwavering belief in promoting inclusivity and improving lives ." �
