摘要： There is disclosed a dental prophylaxis device having a pair of spaced tynes disposed on a housing provided with an axial cavity, a stationary support located on the tynes in the vicinity of the base thereof and a circular rotatable disk located on the housing between the bases of the tynes. The circular rotatable disk rotates on a mandrel disposed in the housing cavity through a rotatable drive shaft located in a second housing. A dental flossing thread having a non-elastic loop at one end supported on the circular rotatable disk and an elastic loop on the opposite end supported on the stationary support spans the space between the ends of tynes and reciprocates therebetween when the disk is rotated.The process comprises contacting dentition surfaces with the dental flossing thread described and reciprocating the thread over the dentition surfaces and across the space between the stationary tynes while expanding and contracting the elastic loop in response to the tensile force on the thread and absorbing the tensile force imparted thereto when it encounters resistance and while imparting reciprocating movement to the dental flossing thread through the rotating motion of the disk.

摘要： A disposable flossing device is disclosed. The disposable flossing device is adapted for use with the conventional dental handpiece or any other device providing rotary input motion. The disposable flossing device converts the rotary input motion to reciprocating linear motion so that the dental floss will reciprocate through a linear plane. In addition to flossing, other attachments to the conventional dental handpiece such as brushes and polishers can also be operated with the linear motion of the disclosed device.

摘要： There is disclosed a dental prophylaxis device which may be electrically or battery powered and which comprises in combination a pair of spaced tynes disposed on a housing provided with an axial cavity, stationary support means on the housing in the vicinity of the base of the tynes and oscillating support means located on the housing between the bases of the tynes. The oscillating support means is supported on a cylindrical sleeve disposed in the housing cavity and cooperates with an oscillating drive shaft powered by driving means located in a second housing to which the first mentioned housing is removably connectable. A dental tape or floss having a non-elastic loop at one end which is supported on the oscillating support means and an elastic loop at the opposite end which is supported on the stationary support means spans the space between the ends of tynes and reciprocates between the tynes when the oscillating support means is in motion.The process disclosed comprises contacting dentition surfaces with a dental tape or floss having a thread segment with a non-elastic loop at one end and an elastic loop at the opposite end, reciprocating the thread segment over the dentition surfaces while expanding and contracting the elastic loop in response to the application of tensile force to the floss and absorbing the tensile force imparted thereto when it encounters resistance and the elastic loop expands.
