  • Method of determining the approximal passability of an interdental space
    Patent number: 6241519
    Abstract: Flexible probing elements (4.1, . . . , 4.6) with different diameters are guided into an interdental space for determining a proximal allowance of the interdental space. The proximal allowance is determined according to the parameter values that correspond to the probing element that just barely fits through the interdental space. The probing elements (4.1, . . . , 4.6) can be realized on a probing tip (3) with a diameter that changes continuously or in a stepwise manner. The determination of the proximal allowance makes possible for an adviser to determine in an exact and reproducible manner the optimum interdental brush for the user.
