Dental Colorful Latch Style Flat Polishing Brush

Dental colorful latch style flat polishing brush

These Prophy Brushes and Cups are used for polishing and removal of heavy stains. Keystone Industries offers standard or pointed latch type to fit all your needs. The brushes and cups are made of fine nylon bristles assembled to prevent the possibility of pulling out bristles.

1. Function: Polishing

• Its primary purpose is to polish teeth after a scaling (cleaning) procedure.

• It's used with a slow-speed dental handpiece (the drill, but running slowly) and a special prophylaxis paste (a mildly abrasive polishing paste).

• It helps remove surface stains (from coffee, tea, tobacco, etc.) and smooths the tooth surface, making it harder for plaque to adhere.

2. Design: Flat Brush Head

• The brush head is flat or slightly tapered, unlike a cup-shaped brush.

• This design provides a broad, flat surface for efficient polishing of the flat surfaces of teeth, primarily the buccal (cheek side) and lingual (tongue side) surfaces.

3. Feature: Colorful

• The brushes come in a variety of colors (e.g., blue, green, pink, yellow, etc.).

• The color-coding serves several purposes:

• Size/Grit Identification: Different colors often indicate different bristle textures (softer, firmer) or sizes.

• Organization: Makes it easy for the dental team to quickly select the right brush.

• Patient Appeal: The bright colors can be less intimidating, especially for children.
