How to use PIKSTERS® SIZING PROBE:

• Laser marked to avoid paint scratch off.

Step 1. Slide the probe into the interproximal space till it stops.

Step 2. Withdraw the probe 4mm and observe the black or white band that was previously hidden in the gap between the teeth.

Step 3. Read the corresponding Pikster number size on the handle.

Step 4. Using your piksters professional pack, select the estimated best brush size, go back to the mouth with this brush and confirm that the fit is not too tight or too loose. Use your clinical judgement to go one size up or down as needed. Some clinicians prefer a tighter, more aggressive scrubbing action and some prefer a looser fit for easier insertion.
