There once was a toothbrush by Rubik™
Clock-worky enough to please Kubrick
Though, when shorts in the show'r
'Twas more deadly than Bauer!
(Then Ralph Nader "brushed up" on his rubric)

One assumes a newer version would have some of the following improvements:
1. A passive tracking system (such as an IR-reflective pattern instead of LED's)
2. LED's for actual sensors, like pressure at the brush head or bristle flex
3. Flossing, tongue-cleaning, gum-stimulation support

It'd be like using those chewable staining tablets every time you brush, but with the advantage that it can prevent over-brushing as well (some people wear the enamel off certain teeth while all but ignoring others). Oral infection is linked with a lot of really serious problems, including (but not limited to) heart disease, chronic depression, and diabetes. Overall levels of inflammation in your body are affected by the strain incoming and resident bacteria put on your immune system.]]>Apr 6th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/06/researchers-turn-brushing-your-teeth-into-childs-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/06/researchers-turn-brushing-your-teeth-into-childs-play/Apr 6th 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/06/researchers-turn-brushing-your-teeth-into-childs-play/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/06/researchers-turn-brushing-your-teeth-into-childs-play/
People does not find "Brushing" boring.
People does not have time for "Brushing"

The key is not make them playable, but make them more time efficient. This will go straight to the garbage just like other playful toothbrush toys.
