Oral hygiene products for individual needs The wide TePe range of oral hygiene products comprises different high-quality options for interdental cleaning and toothbrushing. Our portfolio also includes devices for specific needs such as cleaning of implants and orthodontic appliances, products for post-surgery use and more.
All products are developed in collaboration with dental experts and produced at our own state-of-the-art production facility in Malmo, Sweden. The products are continuously tested and evaluated to meet the demands from dental professionals and consumers worldwide. In addition, we ensure all our products comply with international ISO standards.
It is a well-known fact that good oral hygiene is essential to maintaining oral health. The two most common oral diseases, caries and periodontal disease, are predominantly interdental diseases since the interdental area is where plaque preferably accumulates and also an area that cannot be reached with a toothbrush. Therefore, interdental cleaning in adjunct to toothbrushing are cornerstones in achieving plaque control in daily oral home care.
Several studies have compared interdental brushes and other interdental cleaning devices, especially floss, with respect to their influence on plaque and gingivitis. Patient preference is also a factor that has been evaluated. The research in favor of interdental brushes is convincing. Anna Nilvéus Olofsson, DDS, Manager Odontology and Scientific Affairs, has selected and summarized five especially important studies in support of interdental brushes.
