The invention relates to a process for producing an oral care device, such
as a toothbrush, having a body, which comprises a handle region, a head
region and a neck region located between the handle region and the head
region, and having functional elements which are arranged, at least in
part, within the body and comprise an electrically operated functional
unit and an electric supply device which has an energy store and is
intended for the functional unit, in the case of which the body is
produced, by injection molding, from at least one hard component, which
serves as a reinforcement, and at least one soft component, and at least
some of the functional elements, during the production of the body, are
encapsulated, at least in part, directly by the plastic which forms the
