Abstract: The present invention discloses and claims various interproximal devices and associated methods for: (a) removing and disrupting interproximally, supragingival and subgingivally the microbiological burden associated with biofilms, (b) controlling biofilm influence among at risk adults on certain systemic chronic diseases including: Type II diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and osteoporosis, and (c) maintaining periostasis in at risk adults.

Abstract: Bobbin wound coated monofilament tapes where the coating comprises between 20% and 120% by weight of said tape, and the process for bobbin winding coated monofilament dental tapes comprising combining a coating conditioning means with means for winding at substantially constant tensions to produce controlled tension bobbins that do not unwind, that dispense uniformly free from back lashing, and that are substantially free from coating displacement and winding displacement when exposed to high temperatures and high relative humidity and that have tack values from between about 0.1 and about 0.5 grams.

Abstract: A measuring system having a clock and a plurality of measuring modules, each of the measuring modules having a data processing unit, a data input unit, and an indicator unit for providing at least one measuring function. The system also includes a releasable coupler for no-galvanically coupling a selected one of the measuring modules with the clock for the transmission of data between the clock and the selected measuring module. Each of the measuring modules can be selectively coupled to the clock by means of the coupler to provide a measuring function associated with the coupled module in accordance with time data provided by the clock. The system can include a housing for supporting the selected measuring module and the clock. The measuring modules can be configured to measure various parameters of a human body or the environment.
