Toothpaste testing in a brushing simulator
A demonstration of toothpaste testing in a tooth brushing simulator.
Toothpaste testing
The Mach-1 can be used to simulate teeth brushing with a controlled offset of pressure on the brush and controlled horizontal brushing movement. In this case, a Mach-1 v500cs was used to produce a mechanical shear force. This method could allow for wear testing alongside the "Find Contact" function in Mach-1 Motion before and after the brushing cycle. A change in height due to constant wear could then be determined quantitatively. A liquid bath could also be used in further testing to better simulate a physiological environment.
