Dental prophylaxis contra-angle Elite™

airdisposable

Young disposable prophy angles are designed to make it easy to access hard-to-reach areas in the mouth. Thanks to a narrower neck and small, round head, polishing is equally comfortable for the user and the patient. Disposable, one-time use reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Working with the prophy angles saves time and money, as no preparation is required and the prophy angle does not incur as much wear from abrasive pastes. Advantages Extremely sturdy and smooth-running Less maintenance and wear, as there is no polish paste in the prophy angles Contains no latex or BPA Available individually or as a starter kit including prophy handpiece With outer grooves – reduces splatter, exterior also polishes (Contra Elite / Classic Elite) The use of hygienic disposable prophy angles in professional dental cleaning is not yet as common in European dental practices as in the US, for example. There, so-called DPAs (Disposable Prophy Angles) were brought on the dental market by Young Dental in 1990. As the name “disposable prophy angle” suggests, it is a single-use product that combines a prophy angle and a dental prophy cup in a single product. Used together with a prophylaxis paste, the disposable prophy angles removes plaque and staining from teeth and facilitates surface smoothing and biofilm management for the patient. Rotating polishing, i.e., polishing using a prophy angle with rotating prophylaxis cups or brushes, is often considered an important supplement to application with air-powder-water devices, as biofilm often remains on the teeth even after application.
