A dental prophylaxis glossal angle and assembly for cleaning teeth, tongue, palate and cheek areas is provided. The dental prophy glossal angle has a head removeably attached to an dental handpiece. The head has a first face opposite a second face. The head has a plurality of driven rotors with knobs extending through apertures defined by the first face and outwardly from the first face to receive a respective plurality of prophy cups or brushes to clean and polish the teeth, tongue, palate and cheek areas, and the second face has a tongue scraper adapted to clean tongue, palate, and cheek areas.

A multi-functional dental tool is provided which may be used for the dental filling of teeth after the removal of damage in the teeth. The dental tool comprises a forcep portion on one end and a burnisher tool on the other end. The burnisher tool portion comprises a flat burnisher and a ball burnisher, and a joint which connects the forcep portion and the burnisher tool portion. In an alternate embodiment, the dental tool comprises a penlight holder which can receive and secure a penlight, which provides illumination when performing the filling procedure, especially in situations in which an overhead light source is not readily available.

A prophy cup has an outer surface with dimples formed therein. The dimples increase the turbulent flow in a boundary layer proximate to the surface. The increased turbulent flow reduces the separation of fluid (a slurry of saliva, blood and pumice) at the boundary layer to minimize the quantity of fluid ejected from the surface. A dental handpiece housing is configured to split longitudinally so that a wiper is positioned proximate to the outer surface of the prophy cup. The wiper removes slurry as the prophy cup rotates during a dental cleaning procedure to further reduce the quantity of fluid ejected from the surface during the procedure.

The tool for treatment of interdental surfaces includes a strip (10) having an abrasive field (12) on at least one of its longitudinal sides (11). The field is situated at a distance (A) from the apical edge (11a) of the longitudinal side, the latter being blank between the apical edge and the field.

A dental polishing cup includes a body that defines a cup cavity for holding a dental treatment material, with the cup having an opening at its distal end. A portion of the body includes an enhanced-flexibility band (EFB) situated circumferentially at a certain distance from the distal end, the EFB providing a lesser stiffness of the body than other portions of the body that are situated lengthwise immediately distally and immediately proximately of the EFB.
