Interprox is a leading oral hygiene brand specializing in interdental cleaning products, primarily high-quality interdental brushes and gels, owned by the Spanish company DENTAID. Its mission is to improve oral health by providing effective solutions for removing bacterial plaque from hard-to-reach spaces between teeth.

Company Background and Mission

Ownership:
Interprox is a key brand under the umbrella of DENTAID S.L., an expert and global leader in the oral care market with a strong commitment to research and innovation.

History:
The brand was established in 1989, making it one of the pioneering companies to offer brushes specifically designed for cleaning interproximal spaces.

Mission:
DENTAID’s broader mission, which encompasses the Interprox brand, is to “promote and improve people’s oral health throughout their lives” by developing cutting-edge, science-backed solutions.

DENTAID is present in over 60 countries, with subsidiaries in various regions including Germany, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, the Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, and Peru.

Product Range and Technology
The core of the Interprox brand is a versatile range of interdental brushes and complementary gel, all designed to ensure comprehensive oral hygiene.

Interdental Brushes:
The product line includes three main types:

Interprox®:
Designed primarily for the anterior (front) interdental spaces, featuring a flexible handle.

Interprox® Plus:
Ideal for accessing posterior (back) spaces due to its fixed, angled head, which allows for perpendicular entry and prevents gum injury.

Interprox® Access:
Features a longer handle to make reaching the molar areas more comfortable.

Technology & Materials:

Tynex Filaments:
The brushes use high-quality Tynex bristles. The dual-color design is a key feature: white filaments help detect bleeding points, while black filaments make the presence of oral biofilm (plaque) visible.

Coated Wire:
The stainless steel wire is coated with an insulating plastic (polyurethane) to protect teeth, gums, and dental structures, making them safe for use with implants, crowns, and orthodontic appliances.

PHD Sizing:
Brushes are available in a wide range of sizes, classified by Passage Hole Diameter (PHD) to fit every specific interdental space. Cylindrical heads are typically for small spaces, and conical heads are for medium to large spaces.

Interprox® Gel:
A specially formulated gel designed to quickly penetrate interdental spaces, aiding in the reduction of plaque formation and maintaining healthy gums.
