Sunstar Americas Inc. recently launched the Butler Prophyciency prophy angles with ButlerBloom contouring cup. The prophy angles feature a flower‐shaped cup that contours to all tooth surfaces during the cleaning and polishing process. No paste is used, eliminating the need to reload prophy cups and reducing rinsing during the prophylaxis. Two versions of Prophyciency are available - Clean & Polish and Polish.
