IT’S UNUSUAL for a new prophy angle to grab our attention, but this one did. Premier’s ProFlare has people talking because it delivers impressive results with less effort. Its coolest feature? The latex-free, articulating cup flares farther outward (with less hand pressure) than other angles we’ve seen. As a result, the articulating cup covers more tooth surface, more thoroughly, reducing the continuous need to switch wrist positions. Plus, outer ridges make quick work of interproximal stain removal, while inner microgrooves retain paste with little to no splatter. Not only that, the cup’s shorter, smaller profile improves both vision and access but holds the same volume of paste as other angles. And, despite all the buzz, ProFlare is chatter-free.
