History of a Product
• When do changes take place?• Where do these changes come from?• What advantages and disadvantages are
associated with these changes?

A Product’s Changing Lifecycle
• Concept or redesign
• Change in “needs”
• Research
• New materials and/or technology
• Sketching and development
• Manufacture
• Test
• Market and distribution
• Feedback

• “MIT Invention Index at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology asked which of five inventions Americans could not live without.”
• “The toothbrush emerged as the undisputed champ, beating out the car, the personal computer, the cell phone, and the microwave, in that order, as the most prized innovation.”

• Some records indicate a version of the toothbrush that dates back as far as 5000 years ago. Babylonians rubbed a “chew stick” on their teeth and mouth to keep them clean
The First Toothbrush

• In 1498 a bristle toothbrush was created in China. The bristles were actually the stiff, coarse hairs taken from the back of a hog's neck and were attached to handles made of bone or bamboo.

• The first American to patent a toothbrush was H.N. Wadsworth in the 1850s. Companies in the U.S. started mass producing the toothbrush around 1885.
• Most Americans did not brush their teeth until Army soldiers in World War II were taught the habit of tooth brushing and brought their enforced habit back home after the War.

• Natural bristles were used in toothbrushes until nylon was discovered. In 1938, nylon, invented by Dupont, replaced the natural bristle. One of the first nylon toothbrushes to commercialize the industry was called Doctor West’s Miracle toothbrush.

• In 1960 the first commercialized electric toothbrush was marketed in the United States. The technology was developed in Switzerland in 1939
The Broxodent shown above was marketed by the Squibb company.

• The past 100 years have seen many innovations to the toothbrush such as ergonomic handles, spinning heads, and improved bristle configurations
• A pioneer in this transformation was Dr. Robert Hutson, a periodontist from San Jose, California. Hutson invented the first toothbrush with soft end-rounded nylon bristles. He named the product Oral-B
