• I liked the lack of spatter and size, shape, and ability of the prophy cups to adapt to the tooth.
• I loved the ability of the cups to maintain contact with the tooth surface.
• There was too much chatter.
• Hard to adapt to this ‘constant contact’ technique.

Twist Prophy Angles are disposable, 90° reciprocating prophy angles. Twist Prophy Angles feature an oscillating motion that eliminates splatter and frictional heat. According to the manufacturer, the design allows continuous contact and pressure on tooth surfaces for maximum stain removal. Twist Prophy Angles are packaged in individually sealed 100-count bags in four styles: soft cup, firm cup, flat brush, and tapered brush. The manufacturer claims include that the lift and dab technique is not necessary due to ergonomics of the angle design, that the product is safe for use on gingival margins and exposed dentin, and that they are ideal for applying dental medicaments and preparing teeth for etchants and whitening procedures. Twist Prophy Angles in soft and firm cups and tapered brush were evaluated by 31 consultants in 1394 uses. They received an 85% rating.
