Frequently asked questions
Does the patented motion maximize stain removal?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle utilizes a unique, patented oscillating motion specifically engineered to deliver maximum stain removal and superior patient comfort.
This oscillating action enhances the polishing procedure in several key ways:
- Superior Efficiency: The design allows dental professionals to maintain continuous contact and consistent pressure on the tooth surface, guaranteeing maximum stain removal without the need for the traditional “lift and dab” technique.
- Enhanced Comfort: The motion eliminates frictional heat buildup, ensuring the prophy angle remains cool during operation. This is especially beneficial when treating sensitive areas like gingival margins or exposed dentin.
- Reduced Spatter: It significantly minimizes the spatter of prophy paste, blood, and saliva, resulting in a cleaner and safer clinical environment.
- Orthodontic Effectiveness: The unique motion is highly effective for cleaning on and between orthodontic brackets, wires, and bands.
Is the Crosstex Prophy Angle safe for exposed dentin?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle is designed for superior patient comfort and is safe for use on exposed dentin.
Its unique, patented oscillating motion ensures safety and efficiency by:
- Eliminating Frictional Heat: The design prevents heat buildup, keeping the angle cool during operation for increased patient comfort.
- Safety in Sensitive Areas: It is explicitly safe for use on gingival margins and exposed dentin.
- Reducing Spatter: The oscillating action significantly minimizes the spatter of prophy paste, blood, and saliva, contributing to a cleaner and safer clinical environment.
Does the patented motion reduce heat and spatter?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle uses a unique, patented oscillating motion that is specifically engineered to improve patient safety and comfort:
- Frictionless Cooling: The oscillating design eliminates frictional heat, ensuring the prophy angle remains cool throughout the procedure. This significantly increases patient comfort.
- Spatter Control: The motion significantly reduces the spatter of prophy paste, blood, saliva, and other infectious matter, creating a cleaner and safer clinical environment.
This continuous, oscillating action also allows for continuous contact and pressure for maximum stain removal, all while improving ergonomics by eliminating the need for the traditional “lift and dab” technique.
How many units are in a package?
Each package of the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle includes 100 disposable units.
These units are available in four configurations, allowing you to select the best option for the procedure:
- Cups: Soft or Firm
- Brushes: Tapered or Flat
Can this prophy angle be used for orthodontic cases?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist™ Prophy Angle is effective for use in orthodontic cases. It can be used on and between brackets, wires, and bands for thorough cleaning.
Does the prophy angle minimize spatter?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle is specifically designed to significantly improve clinical safety and cleanliness by eliminating spatter.
This benefit is achieved through its unique, patented oscillating motion, which is engineered to:
- Drastically reduce the spatter of materials such as prophy paste, blood, and saliva.
- Minimize the spread of potential infectious matter, creating a safer environment for both the patient and the dental professional.
- Contribute to enhanced ergonomic use by eliminating the need for the traditional “lift and dab” technique.
Does it feature a patented oscillating motion?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle utilizes a unique, patented oscillating motion that provides superior performance and patient comfort compared to traditional angles. This advanced technology offers several key advantages:
- Maximum Stain Removal: The oscillating motion allows for continuous contact and consistent pressure on the tooth surface, maximizing stain removal without the need for the traditional “lift and dab” technique.
- Enhanced Safety and Comfort: This design actively eliminates frictional heat generation (keeping the angle cool to the touch) and effectively minimizes the spatter of prophy paste, blood, and saliva, enhancing clinical safety.
- Versatile and Gentle Use: It is safe for use on delicate areas, including gingival margins and exposed dentin. It is also highly effective for complex orthodontic applications (around brackets, wires, and bands).
What configurations are offered?
The Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle is offered in four different configurations, each packaged 100 units per bag, allowing dental professionals to choose the ideal tool for specific procedures:
- Cups: Available in Soft or Firm variations.
- Brushes: Available in Tapered or Flat styles.
Is this Prophy Angle highly versatile?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle offers exceptional clinical versatility, largely due to its unique, patented oscillating motion. This design allows for continuous contact and maximum stain removal while minimizing spatter and frictional heat. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Orthodontic Care: It is cited as the only effective prophy angle brush for use on and between brackets, wires, and bands.
- Patient Comfort and Safety: The frictionless design eliminates heat generation, making it safe for use on gingival margins and exposed dentin.
- Procedure Preparation: It is highly effective for preparing teeth surfaces for etching and bleaching, and for applying various dental medicaments.
- Efficiency: Its ergonomic design eliminates the need for the traditional “lift and dab” technique, ensuring continuous, consistent pressure for superior results.
Is this prophy angle ergonomically superior?
Yes, the Crosstex Twist Prophy Angle is designed for ergonomic superiority, offering significant workflow improvements for the dental professional through its patented oscillating motion. This unique design provides several key advantages:
- Eliminates the “Lift and Dab” Technique: The angle’s motion removes the need for the traditional stop-start polishing technique, streamlining the procedure and improving efficiency.
- Allows Continuous Contact: Practitioners can maintain consistent pressure and continuous contact with the tooth surface, which optimizes stain removal.
- Reduces Spatter: The oscillating action drastically minimizes the spatter of materials like prophy paste, blood, and saliva, contributing to a cleaner, safer clinical environment.
- Ensures Patient Comfort: It eliminates frictional heat, keeping the angle cool during operation and allowing for an uninterrupted procedure.
