Synopsis: Swiss oral care brand Curaprox introduces Samba, a groundbreaking robotic toothbrush that caters specifically to individuals with disabilities, revolutionizing oral hygiene practices while promoting autonomy and enhancing overall oral well-being. Recognizing the long-standing issue of poor oral hygiene among individuals with disabilities, Curaprox has taken a pioneering step by introducing Samba.

Introduction
Samba, the world's first robotic toothbrush designed explicitly for individuals with disabilities, is set to revolutionize oral hygiene routines. Developed by an Israeli startup and introduced by Swiss premium oral care brand Curaprox, Samba brings newfound independence and improved oral health to millions of people worldwide.
Main Item
People with physical and mental disabilities currently have two options when it comes to brushing their teeth - rely on a family member or a caregiver, or brush on their own and compromise their health with subpar cleaning. Shockingly, 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 8 years by an Israeli startup, Samba utilizes 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 more thoroughly from the teeth and gums. This technology eliminates the need for manual hand movements, granting individuals a newfound level of independence in their oral care routine.
Recognizing the long-standing issue of poor oral hygiene among individuals with disabilities, Curaprox has taken a pioneering step by introducing Samba. This marks the first time a global oral care brand is addressing this underserved community's needs with a toothbrush specifically designed for their unique requirements.
Recognizing the impact of Samba, dental professionals have expressed their enthusiasm for this user-focused solution.
Prof. Mario Giorgi, a renowned dentist from Brazil, comments;
"Samba is a game-changer for our patients. Its innovative technology and user-friendly design empower individuals to take control of their oral health independently. This can lead to a significant improvement in their overall well-being."
Dr. Shalhav Malamud, a special care dentist from Israel whose daughter lives with Hemiparesis, comments;
"I see the struggles faced by individuals with disabilities when it comes to maintaining proper oral hygiene daily. Samba's efficiency is remarkable. It not only saves time but also ensures a thorough cleaning experience, which is crucial for preventing dental issues".
Unlike traditional toothbrushes which clean only one surface at a time, Samba cleans 36 surfaces at the same time, significantly reducing brushing time from 2 minutes to just 30 seconds per side. By simplifying the brushing process and optimizing oral hygiene, Samba paves the way for a healthier future for those who have long struggled to maintain proper oral health.
Curaprox's introduction of Samba demonstrates their unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities. By providing an innovative and user-focused solution, they are actively transforming the way oral care is approached, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their physical or mental limitations, can enjoy the benefits of a healthy and radiant smile.
