Clinical Overview
STARbrush™ is a clinician‑grade intercoronal brush engineered for ultra‑fine cleaning in areas of restricted access—such as beneath crowns, within Class I–V cavities, and endodontic access preparations. Its ultra‑tight fiber cluster cleans residual temporary cement or healing provisional cement using mechanical or antibacterial slurry action, all without abrading gingival tissues. Designed for both intracoronal and extracoronal application, it’s especially suited for bonding, sealant, and orthodontic bracket maintenance workflows.
Key Benefits
- Outstanding access: Small head and dense braided fibers penetrate narrow embrasures, deep pits, interproximal, and endodontic‑access zones that standard brushes cannot reach.
- Safe on soft tissue: Forces tapers on insertion; fibers conform to anatomy without aggressive abrasion—compatible with Consepsis™ Scrub to disinfect surfaces without trauma.
- Cleanable and manageable design: Rigid nylon core retains shape; dense fiber tuft minimizes mess by capturing residue while working.
- Protocol ready: Best used with antibacterial slurry like Consepsis™ Scrub or prophy pastes such as Ultrapro™ Tx for combined chemical‑mechanical cleansing.
- Convenient pack size: Box of 100 brushes (Code 1093) provides high‑volume access maintained hygienic and cost‑effective.
Kit Contents
- 100 × STARbrush™ intercoronal brushes (pre‑sterilized dealers may advise pre‑use rinsing)
- Dispensing tray or tray slot lines for organized clinical setup (under dental technician standards)
Indications
- Removal of residual temporary cement and debris before definitive cementation
- Cleaning interproximal and intracoronal margins prior to adhesive bonding (fillings, veneers, inlays/onlays)
- Maintenance of orthodontic brackets, pits, fissures before sealants
- Pre‑bond cleaning of enamel surfaces damaged or stained by bleach
- Ideal when used after ultrasonic or rotary cleaning for final grit removal
Instructions for Use
- Isolate the treatment area and remove gross debris—the brush is safe for use upon ringing margins.
- Apply a small amount of Consepsis™ Scrub antibacterial slurry (or compatible prophy paste) to brush head.
- Insert STARbrush™ tip into the intercoronal area, gently twisting in and out to dislodge cement or biofilm—avoid lateral pressure on soft tissues.
- Rotate brush apex‑first across the restoration margin or bracket edges to clean hard‑to‑reach angles.
- Rinse site thoroughly with water or spray; follow with gentle air drying before bonding or impression procedures.
- Discard used brush—single‑use and sterile packed; do not reuse.
Summary
The STARbrush™ Intercoronal Brush (Code 1093, 100‑pack) fills a critical niche for post‑cleaning prior to adhesive procedures. It allows precise, deep access to crevices, Class I–V margins, and interproximal zones that conventional brushes cannot reach—especially before bonding or sealant placement. Designed for use with superficial slurry, it provides efficient mechanical‑chemical cleaning while protecting soft tissue. A hygienic, single‑use brush pack ideal for high‑throughput restorative and orthodontic practices.
