Acclean interdental brushes (a brand association with Piksters) are designed for cleaning plaque and bacteria from the areas between teeth that a toothbrush cannot reach. They are recommended by dentists and hygienists for their superior cleaning ability. Acclean brushes are made of superior, durable plastic-coated wire that reduces the chances of the brushes bending and helps prevent damage to the teeth.
This strong and stiff design allows patients to reuse the brush a few more times after a thorough rinse. The brushes are particularly suitable for patients with orthodontic braces, fixed retainers, implants, or crown and bridge work. The brushes have individual hygienic caps for storage, which can also be used to lengthen the handle for easier access to molar or premolars. They can be used one-handed, making them easier to use than floss.
A simple definition of CAD/CAM dentistry is the use of digital software to design and manufacture dental restorations and prostheses. CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. The technology can be used to create crowns, dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers among other things. The speed of the CAD/CAM process allows for dental prosthetics to be designed, manufactured and delivered to the patient in quick time, sometimes the same day. The wider system of using computer assisted technologies to produce restorations is known as CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics).
