CATEGORY 90 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST CLINICAL the work for you. When you choose the right brush with gentle laments, the teeth are cleaned e ciently, safely and e ectively. When talking to patients about the Hydrosonic pro, what are the most important features of the product that they should be aware of? e Curaprox Hydrosonic pro has a very powerful motor, so it can provide an extremely high number of movements per minute. anks to this, the hydrodynamic e ect can be fully utilised. In addition, the special ultra-soft bristles, and the way these bristles are arranged, combine to strengthen the hydrodynamic e ect further. e saliva-water-toothpaste mixture it creates can remove the plaque bio lm even on implants and to some extent between the teeth (with 90-degree angulation), and it works particularly well around braces and in the spaces of the gingival sulcus (with 45-degree angulation). Areas like interdental spaces and the sulcus are the most critical when talking about proper oral hygiene. e possibility of using the single brush head is also extremely helpful when cleaning these critical places, and one of the most important advantages of the product is the super-gentle bristles of the brushes, since this is the key element when talking about safe cleaning – especially in brushes with such high frequencies. e bristles on the Hydrosonic pro’s brush heads are arranged in a drop-shape, to more e ectively clean the hidden surfaces and spaces of the teeth. And last but de nitely not least, is the brush heads’ built-in Curacurve® angle of only 10 or 15 degrees, which makes a big di erence when it comes to accessing molars or other hard-to-reach spots. Curaprox’s Hydrosonic pro is a German Design Award 2021 winner, for its excellent product design in the medical rehabilitation and health care field. It offers: u Curen® bristles: extremely ne and e cient u extra small brush heads with special drop-shape design, plus a single brush head u powerful yet quiet motor providing up to 84,000 brush movements per minute u seven cleaning modes across three levels (with 44,000, 64,000 and 84,000 brush movements per minute) u 60 minutes of cleaning from a single battery charge u brush handle with 45-degree ergonomics that helps support meticulous cleaning u practical USB charger u water resistance: IPX7 standard (lasts up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 metre) Why is the quality and quantity of the bristles so important when it comes to a toothbrush? e bristles of the Hydrosonic pro are made of Curen® laments, which is why they are so soft yet still able to maintain their rigidity. Curen® laments do not absorb water, and so their rigidity and e ectiveness are retained even when wet. is is particularly important for the hydrodynamic e ect. At the same time, their softness ensures they are very gentle on teeth and gums. Also important for the e ectivity of the hydrodynamic e ect is proximity. is is why the brush head has raised tufts of bristles – to ensure that the distance between the tooth surface and the vibrating bristles is su ciently large. Shorter bristles can then vibrate freely and provide the desired hydrodynamic e ect, while the longer bristles slip into the niches and interdental spaces. is combined with over 60,000 movements per minute, means plaque, bacteria and bio lm hardly have a chance. e brush’s settings have the power to prevent teeth discolouration and also to practically rule out tartar growth. is interplay of bristles and their arrangement must be precisely and nely tuned. To make the brush even more gentle, the bristles are rounded. Not every manufacturer of sonic toothbrushes has designed this equally well. For patients, one of the easiest and most visible ways to observe the quality of a sonic toothbrush is to look at the brush carefully before using it for the rst time, and to examine their teeth at the niches and recesses for any slight discolouration. is discolouration will be gone after two to six days of using a proper sonic toothbrush. The angled brush head of the Hydrosonic pro isn’t common in other sonic brushes. Why have you decided to apply such an approach when developing this toothbrush? e decision concerning the angling of the brush head has been made very deliberately – despite the knowledge that this results in a changed dynamic on the bristle tips. It was important for us that all parts of the mouth can be reached. For example, at the very back, the teeth are aligned. e built-in angle in the handle allows these areas to be reached more easily – which, by the way, has also been scienti cally investigated. When you think about it, only a few dental instruments are straight! e angulation is also important for the accessibility of the teeth at the front in the outer and inner mouth area. e Hydrosonic pro meets these requirements, so patients won’t miss a single spot in their mouth that needs to be cleaned properly. e Hydrosonic pro was originally designed for people undergoing orthodontic treatment, but soon grew in popularity among many health-conscious people. At Curaden we strive to o er unprecedented cleaning, accuracy, protection and ease of use with every product. O er your patients the most gentle and e cient option for proper home oral care.
