Manually operated dental cleaning tool, comprising two curved segments with different radii

摘要

The device is made of a thin, slightly elastic material like plastic, metal, or wood and has two curved arms (1, 2) forming an s-shaped unit with pointed outer ends. The curves have different radii, facilitating a multitude of uses by the dentist or for the tooth-care at home. The concave edges can be used for scraping tartar off the teeth with differently shaped surfaces while the device is held at the second segment (1, 2). The flat shape allows the cleaning of the gaps between two adjacent teeth or the use as a partition when a filling is inserted into a cavity.
