Preventive Dentistry

Prophylaxis Paste, Brushes & Cups constitute a complete system for professional tooth polishing during a dental prophylaxis. The paste, available in various abrasiveness levels and often fluoridated, works with a slow-speed handpiece fitted with a rubber cup (for smooth surfaces) or brush (for grooves) to remove plaque, biofilm, and extrinsic stains, leaving teeth clean and smooth. This final polishing step is crucial for oral health, aesthetics, and caries prevention. The procedure requires skill to avoid enamel damage and soft tissue injury, and strict infection control is maintained through the use of single-patient disposable components or sterilizable attachments.
