Introduction to TRU™ by Microbrush®

This white paper introduces TRU by Microbrush, a redesigned dental micro-applicator aimed at improving consistency, minimizing waste, maximizing ergonomics, and increasing clinical efficacy. The focus is on enhancing the applicator's performance, which has seen little innovation compared to other dental products.

Development of a Superior Micro-Applicator

Microbrush engaged in extensive feedback and testing to refine TRU, involving dental professionals in the process. The early prototypes showed promise, indicating the potential for TRU to become a superior dental applicator.

Advanced Flocking Technology

TRU by Microbrush features advanced flocking technology that eliminates the need for an intermediate glue layer, allowing for precise tip size and consistent holding volume. The applicator's tip is non-linting, non-absorbing, and non-dissolving in dental solutions, matching the size of dental prep burs.

Addressing Common Applicator Issues

The ultrafine size of TRU by Microbrush addresses common problems such as tip breakage, insufficient solution penetration, and inconsistent solution application. The applicator's ultrafine size is 0.5 mm in diameter, designed for small cavity preps and preventive resin restorations.

Accuracy and Waste Reduction

TRU's ultrafine size allows for precise application of solutions, reducing mess and waste. The applicators come in various sizes (ultrafine, superfine, fine, and regular) to match different preparation sizes and solution volumes, minimizing the need for repeated dipping into dental solutions.

Enhanced Access with Dual Bending Points

TRU by Microbrush features two bending points for improved access, especially in pediatric patients or those with limited mouth opening. The bending points are engineered to prevent unexpected bending, and the tip material is highly resilient to breakage.

Ergonomic Design

The applicator's total length is 12 cm, with an optional 2 cm breakoff for shorter use, facilitating access to posterior teeth and improving ergonomics to reduce body strain during procedures.

Conclusion

TRU by Microbrush represents a significant advancement in applicator technology, addressing previous shortcomings and enabling more efficient and effective dental practices while minimizing waste.
