  • the device which is in the form of a long thin rounded shaft, cut to a certain length with sharp pointed tips on both opposite ends acting as picks is divided into (3) three integral parts.
  • Part #1, The CURVED ANGLED HOOK PICK, Part #2, The BODY and Part #3, The STRAIGHT PICK are described as follows:
  • Part #1 The CURVED ANGLED HOOK PICK, at one end of the device at the top is a uniquely designed curved angled hook pick (Pick #1) much looks like a half- moon circle conforming to the form of a regular adult molar tooth which allows the pick to be easily positioned inside one's inner mouth for cleaning in-between one's teeth.

  • the body is a long rounded shaft in the center portion of the device, centrally located for it's main function. It's main function and role with its long shaft gives the device depth and distance for it to be inserted inside one's mouth.
  • the body also comes equipped with finger grips for maintaining a firm and secure hold when using the device.
  • the STRAIGHT PICK at the bottom of the device at the opposite end of the curved angled hook pick is the straight pick (pick #2).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un explorateur dentaire interne jetable, permettant notamment l'enlèvement efficace de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur de la dent (entre les deux) et des bords gingivaux, de débris d'aliments, de la plaque dentaire, du tartre et d'autres corps étrangers logés entre les dents, notamment après un repas. La fonction principale dudit dispositif est le nettoyage entre les dents, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, mais ce dernier est également efficace pour le massage et la stimulation de la gencive en vue d'empêcher la gingivite (inflammation mineure de la gencive due à l'accumulation de plaque dentaire sur les bords gingivaux) lorsqu'il est utilisé dans un programme d'hygiène dentaire et buccal respecté scrupuleusement. Ledit dispositif étant destiné à un usage personnel pour l'hygiène buccal et dentaire, il se présente sous la forme d'un article jetable à usage unique.
