Frequently Asked Questions
How should I instruct my patients to use interdental brushes?
1. Place an IDB at the gum line between the teeth.
2. Find the right entrance angle.
3. Push the brush through with care and then pull it out – job done!
4. The ultrafine bristles designed with an umbrella effect make it so effective that one single cleaning movement is enough.
Why shouldn’t I recommend just string floss to my patients?
Floss is not able to clean the critical places, such as the teeth concavities and area between the papillae.
What is special about the Curaprox interdental brushes?
Many interdental brushes do not have long enough bristles to reach the critical places mentioned above. The bristles of Curaprox‘s IDBs have a so called umbrella effect: they band at the entrance of the interdental space and stretch to fill the entire space. In this way, one single in-and-out movement is enough to properly clean the interdental space. Plus, the CURAL wire is extremely fine yet resistant, so it is perfect for even the smallest of interdental spaces.

Who should I recommend CPS implant to?

What is the insertion diameter (accessibility)?
The brush‘s access radius is defined by the wire core gauge in addition to the bristles bent on themselves during insertion: this is the umbrella effect.
What is the cleaning diameter (effectiveness)?
The cleaning radius corresponds to the length of the filaments (in mm).
