CURAPROX key message and here’s why.
There are three types of gaps that are a real
­danger to oral health:

gum (sulcus) as well as the gap between the

teeth (interdental/approximal space)
• Then, there are the gaps in our knowledge on
the causes of diseases such as gingivitis,
­periodontitis and peri-implantitis and the
gaps on the actual consequences of these
diseases and what they can lead to i.e. a heart
attack, stroke and even impotence.
• Finally, there are the gaps in ability where
prevention, motivation and care are
­concerned.
A large number of people brush their teeth dili-
gently every day and some even three times a
day, but caries, gingivitis and periodontitis often
still occur. Anyone over the age of 50 most likely
has a crown or one, two or even three implants
and an increased risk of having a heart attack.
These gaps need filling and not just with any old
filling material. They need the correct knowledge
and the correct skills and this is where
CURAPROX can help, so we can all enjoy lifelong
healthy gums, healthy teeth and healthy arteries.

Hydrosonic
Sonic toothbrushes are the most efficient and convenient aids to getting teeth
clean, yet considerable numbers of similar products are already on the market.
Once again, the bristles are the most important feature. Incredibly soft and
fine Curen® filaments are responsible for that decisive difference. While most of
the bristles used for commercially available sonic toothbrushes have a diameter
of 0.2 mm, the Curen® filaments on a Hydrosonic are only 0.152 mm in diameter.
This makes it easy to access particularly critical areas for an incredibly gentle
cleaning.

ic: For a successful start
in a new era of oral
health
Cleaning teeth with a manual toothbrush is not
as easy as it might seem. Who knows the right
method? All too often, people scrub back and
forth with manual toothbrushes and with far
too much pressure. Damage from brushing is
the result. Using a CURAPROX Hydrosonic
ensures that teeth and gums are cleaned
perfectly – in an exceptionally gentle and
careful way.

ULTIMATE PREVENTION
The new CURAPROX Hydrosonic toothbrush is
designed for daily oral hygiene. The Curen®
bristles of the hydro-power brush head and 45°
ergonomics provide enhanced in-depth
cleaning – even in hidden crevices, along the
gum line, in any periodontal pockets and
between the teeth.

CS toothbrushes
Plaque’s toughest enemy is the gentleness of Curen® bristles: CS
toothbrushes really are incredibly gentle. The 5,460 Curen® filaments of
the CS 5460 ultra soft thus form an uncommonly dense and efficient
cleaning surface. While they are gentle on gums and teeth, Curen®
filaments are extremely hard on plaque. Anyone who tries a CS
toothbrush will never want to do without this brushing experience again.

Ultrafine Curen®
filaments make all the
difference
CURAPROX toothbrushes not only prevent
brushing damage, but also break up and
remove plaque perfectly.
Curen® bristles are stiffer than nylon and
remain just as stable in the mouth as when they
are dry. These properties make it possible to
produce toothbrushes with a large number of
ultrafine bristles.

CURAPROX CS toothbrushes break up and

remove plaque more thoroughly – thanks to the
extremely dense bristles.

Normal brushes with approx. 500-800 bristles

result in a large amount of plaque being left on
the teeth between the individual bristles.

The bristles on most toothbrushes are too hard

to clean the critical crevices without using
excessive pressure.
However, too much pressure inevitably leads to
the well-known devastating brushing damage
and is the main cause of exposed tooth necks.
