Abstract

See full text

A dental brush has a plurality of bristles and is adapted to connect to a dental handpiece. As the brush is rotated, outer portions of the bristles shift and present an overall tapered configuration with a narrowed outer tip when the bristles come into contact with dental structure. The tapered configuration is particularly useful for finishing and polishing recesses in the patient's tooth structure such as interproximal areas, grooves located next to cusps of the teeth and recesses that may be present in dental restorations.
