Category Spotlight: Vera Prophy Angles

Splatter, saliva, spray—no matter what it’s called, getting splashed with unpleasant droplets is a less-than-pleasant yet inevitable experience for dental hygienists, especially during prophylaxis procedures. While there’s no escaping it, there are ways to minimize the amount of paste and contaminants that speckle hygienists in the operatory. And even small changes like using a different prophy angle or paste can make a big difference.

Young Innovations is making a difference for hygienists and patients with its compact Vera line of disposable prophy angles. With a slim profile and a variety of body styles and cup options, hygienists can find a Vera angle to suit any patient’s need.

“I am a huge fan of Vera prophy angles, because they are the highest quality and the most innovative prophy angle on the market,” shared Amber Metro-Sanchez, a hygienist who relies on them for a thorough and efficient polishing experience.

Whisk Away Splatter

The Vera Splatter Guard Elite prophy angle is designed with a precisely engineered wiper that whisks away airborne particles during prophy polishing, shielding clinicians and patients from potentially harmful droplets. 

“The unique splatter guard makes my job easier by making polishing less of a messy task,” Metro-Sanchez said of the Vera Splatter Guard Elite, which is her go-to prophy angle.

Compact and Powerful

Equipped with a slim, short profile, Vera Splatter Guard Elite features a flexible cup with a webbed interior and ribbed exterior ridges for advanced stain removal. “One of my favorite features of Vera Splatter Guard Elite is that it is small and compact,” noted Metro-Sanchez. “I also love how this prophy angle is designed with ridges on the outside to help remove stain from the tooth surface.”

With much less splatter than other prophy angles, “Vera Splatter Guard Elite helps make my workflow more efficient, because I can reach all areas of the mouth easily without having to worry about saliva and polish flying everywhere,” Metro-Sanchez concluded. “Even when other companies try to mimic this product, they fall short.”
