Embodiment Construction

[0022] The "prophylaxis angle" 1 comprises a housing 20 and a drive shaft 24 which is attached to a powered dental handpiece (not shown). A prophy cup 10 is rotatably mounted to the prophy corner 1 . In particular, the prophy cup is connected to the shaft 23 , such as by overmolding the cup 10 onto the shaft 23 . Figure 3a and Figure 8 Shown is a shaft 23 terminating in teeth 22a, which are typically included in disposable prophy corners. Figure 3b and Figure 3c Both are shown terminated with latch pin 22b ( Figure 3b ) or thread 22c ( Figure 3c ) shaft 23, either of which is used with autoclavable corner fittings, as is known in the prior art. In other configurations, the prophy cup is coupled to a motorized dental handpiece via a fitting snap and button arrangement (not shown). In each application, the shaft 23 is configured for eventual rotatable coupling to the dental handpiece. In use, the dental handpiece rotates the drive shaft 24 of the prophy corner 1 as ...
