Prophy angles are used to apply prophy paste to a patient's teeth during a routine hygiene appointment. These small handpiece heads are designed to work with dental hygiene handpieces and feature a rotating cup at the tip. The cup is designed to hold prophy paste which is then used to brush and polish the patient's teeth. A range of angles, sizes and cup designs are available. Some prophy angles are autoclavable and are designed for multiple uses, while many are disposable, single-use instruments. The cups can be made from a range of materials and can be available in different firmnesses. Be sure to find prophy angles that are comfortable to use and capable of delivering enough prophy paste for efficient hygiene appointments.
