Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2005proxy brush versus floss
Looking for opinions. Is a proxy brush a suitable alternative to flossing? Floss is great for normal interproximal areas and has no equal for the task. A Proxabrush® is a good tool for interproximal spaces that are larger than normal. Sometimes in wider embrasures, floss will not drag out all of the food debris. If the space is large enough to accept the size of the Proxabrush® without undo force, it is a great adjunct. Dartos > Looking for opinions. Is a proxy brush a suitable alternative to > flossing?

Thank you Is it just food particle removal? I thought the point was to disturb the biofilm before it got established. Guess i'll just do both --G >>Dartos just about covered all the bases with his response. >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >--G Consider it a mini-toohbrush. I give 'em away in my practice for patients with open gingival embrasures, perio patients, FPD patients. They are told to use it anywhere that it comfortably fits and to never force the brush in between the teeth. I like the christmas tree shape as well as the small cylinder. Give those away too. -- Whamatus Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >Consider it a mini-toohbrush. I like the interprox Plus. I started using them on vacation in Spain. It fits between all teeth, but one. I use a smaller brush for that http://www.dentocare.co.uk/ |
