Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles remove tough stains with minimal pressure, while delivering a pleasant polishing experience with reduced splatter
Imagine a writer seated at a desk, their mind swimming with ideas. As their imagination swells, they dive headfirst into each one, searching for the perfect angle to reel readers in and leave them with a lasting impression.
Now, shift the scene to a dental office where a hygienist is seated before a patient for prophylaxis treatment. Like writers, they're looking for the right angle. In this case, the best possible angle to ensure a pleasant polishing experience that easily removes plaque and stains.
Whether crafting a compelling narrative or polishing teeth, finding the right angle cannot be overstated. For Mandy Macachor, RDH, the perfect prophy can be achieved with Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles.
“I use the Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles because I can complete each patient’s polishing effectively and efficiently,” she said. “Polishing is a portion of the dental prophylaxis that many patients enjoy, and to ensure a more pleasant experience, I trust using the Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles. Patients often share their satisfaction by expressing how clean, smooth, and stain-free their teeth are.”
Durable, Flexible Design
“Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles stand out from others available in the market because of their flexible yet durable design,” Macachor said. “The prophy cup allows for just the right amount of flexibility to easily form around the anatomy of each tooth, including excellent interproximal reach. Every patient has different anatomy, yet I can access all aspects of each tooth appropriately.” The cups are available in soft or firm designs with latex and latex-free options, too.
Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles are compatible with any low-speed Doriot handpiece and feature a 90° angle for improved accessibility and maneuverability. Each box of prophy angles is manufactured in the U.S. with 3 assorted handle colors—green, pink, and blue.
“Another added benefit is the option for long or short handles, which helps accommodate each dental hygienist's specific needs and improves ergonomics while polishing,” Macachor said.
Effective, Efficient Polishing
Splatter control is one of Macachor’s key qualities when selecting a prophy angle, and she said the design of Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles does a great job of minimizing splatter during use. Plus, the angles come individually wrapped, which helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
“Infection control standards have always been top of mind for every dental clinician, but patients became more aware of infection control post COVID-19,” Macachor said. “Often, I will intentionally leave the individual packaging in patient view for this reason.”
Macachor concluded, “I highly recommend Patterson Disposable Prophy Angles because they ensure an effective and efficient polishing experience for both the clinician and patient.”
