Prophylaxis attachments used to apply polishing agents during dental prophylaxis (cleaning). These devices typically include a small rubber cup at the distal tip and an appropriate configuration at the proximal end that can be attached to a prophylaxis angle, which is attached to a slow-speed rotary dental handpiece. Prophylaxis cups are typically used to polish teeth as part of the prophylaxis procedure; they are frequently a component of a tooth-polishing set.
