Patent ID: 8539630

Claim:
An oral care system comprising: an oral care implement comprising: an oral care region having cleaning elements for engaging oral tissue; a body for gripping the oral care implement; a first air reservoir disposed in the body for storing pressurized air; a first air outlet operatively connected to the first air reservoir, the first air outlet disposed in the oral care region for injecting pressurized air for cleaning debris from the oral tissue; an active agent reservoir disposed in the body for storing an active agent; and an active agent outlet operatively connected to the active agent reservoir, the active agent outlet disposed in the oral care region for delivering the active agent to the oral tissue, wherein the active agent outlet is isolated from the first air outlet; and a docking station comprising: a second air reservoir for storing pressurized air; and a compressor operably coupled to the second air reservoir; wherein when the oral care implement is coupled to the docking station, the pressurized air stored in the second air reservoir of the docking station flows into the first air reservoir of the oral care implement, wherein the oral care implement comprises a vibratory device for vibrating the cleaning elements and wherein the body of the oral care implement includes a third actuator; and wherein actuation of the third actuator changes a mode of operation of the oral care implement between an air floss mode, a vibratory mode, and a combination of air floss/vibratory mode.
