KRIENS, Switzerland: Dental professionals are expertly positioned to guide patients towards an oral health routine that is both effective and gentle. The Curaprox CS 5460 ultra-soft toothbrush offers thorough plaque removal while ensuring a non-traumatic brushing experience. Its design, developed through Swiss innovation, makes it a suitable option for all patients because it supports effective oral hygiene without causing enamel or gingival damage.

What sets the Curaprox CS 5460 apart?

The Curaprox CS 5460 differs from conventional toothbrushes in several ways. It features 5,460 ultra-soft Curen filaments to enhance plaque removal while minimising pressure on the teeth and gingiva.

Dense filament arrangement

The high density of the 5,460 filaments increases the surface coverage of each stroke, allowing for effective plaque removal with minimal force. This design helps reduce the risk of gingival recession and enamel wear.

Gentle on gingiva and enamel

The ultra-soft bristles of the CS 5460 provide thorough cleaning without causing gingival recession or enamel erosion, addressing the common issue of aggressive brushing. The brush is therefore suitable for all patients, and because it avoids tissue trauma, it is especially suitable for patients with:

sensitive gingivae;
periodontal disease;
orthodontic appliances;
enamel erosion concerns; or
post-surgical healing needs.

Professional endorsement

The Curaprox CS 5460 is widely recognised within the dental community. Hygienists, periodontists and general dentists acknowledge its ability to reduce biofilm accumulation while safeguarding the oral tissue, making it a frequently recommended manual toothbrush.

Encouraging patient compliance

The Curaprox CS 5460 ultra-soft toothbrush has 5,460 ultra-soft Curen filaments for effective plaque removal and minimal pressure on teeth and gingiva.

One of the challenges in preventive dentistry is maintaining patient compliance. Many individuals perceive brushing as a tedious task rather than an essential part of self-care. Curaden believes that an enjoyable brushing experience can encourage consistency, contributing to improved long-term oral health. It thus designed the Curaprox CS 5460 with this in mind, seeking to improve patient engagement through:

varied colour options—a range of colours allows patients to personalise their toothbrush selection, bringing in an element of fun and choice;
soft yet effective bristles—the gentle filaments create a comfortable sensation on the gingivae, making the experience of brushing enjoyable;
a compact, angled head—the head is designed for ease of access to difficult areas, helping patients achieve effortless cleaning.

Brushing guidelines for optimal results

Even with a high-quality toothbrush, proper technique is essential. Patients should follow these recommendations when using the Curaprox CS 5460:

Hold the toothbrush gently | Encourage patients to grip the brush lightly, similar to holding a paintbrush.
Apply minimal pressure | Light strokes help prevent gingival damage while enhancing plaque removal.
Angle the brush at 45° | Positioning the bristles along the gingival margin allows for effective subgingival cleaning without irritation.
Use small, circular motions | Gentle circular movements are more effective and safer than aggressive scrubbing.
Brush for 2 minutes | Using a timer or a song can help patients stay on track.
