Description

ProAngle PLUS is a disposable prophy angle designed for ergonomics and durability. The latex-free cups are color coded to indicate their corresponding firmness: firm (purple) or soft (green), and are available in packages of 144 or 500. The angle is designed with reinforced, beveled gears providing stability of speed and improving the quietness and smoothness during operation, as well as a textured non-slip grip for the reduction of hand fatigue and arm micro-traumas. It is designed to fit all standard straight (nose-cone), Doriot-style handpieces. ProAngle PLUS was evaluated by 24 clinical consultants and their hygienists in nearly 800 prophylaxis procedures. This product received an 89% clinical rating.

Product Features

The ProAngle PLUS was found to be an easy-to-use prophy angle with simple instructions. The size and shape of the cup are excellent for everyday use. The color-coding simplifies identification of the correct firmness. Consultants reported a low level of noise during operation as well as good torque and feel in the hand. The cups were found to be durable and cleaned well, with good access to hard-to-reach teeth. Hygienists reported a moderate amount of splatter, and the flexibility and adaptation to teeth still have room for improvement. The soft cups were rated too flexible by some consultants, while others reported little or no difference in the two varieties. Seventy percent of consultants found ProAngle PLUS to be equal to or better than their current disposable prophy angle, while 56% would recommend it to a colleague.
