Patent ID: 8739350

Claim:
A dental implant post cleaner which comprises: a) a tubular housing having two open ends, with an inner peripheral wall surface and an outer peripheral wall surface; b) each open end of the tubular housing comprises a beveled surface extending towards the inner peripheral wall surface and an annular ridge located between the beveled surface and the inner peripheral wall surface; c) means, on the inner peripheral wall surface, for cleaning a dental implant post comprising a plurality of interiorly extending bristles affixed to the inner peripheral wall surface between the two opposite annular ridges, so that the bristles can project beyond the two opposite annular ridges to more easily clean the gum line about the dental implant post, when either one of the open ends of the tubular housing is inserted over the dental implant post and the tubular housing is repetitiously manually rotated about the dental implant post, and whereby the annular ridge will engage with a gum line about the dental implant post when the dental implant post is being cleaned; and d) a holder having an open ended storage compartment to removably retain the tubular housing therein between cleaning sessions.
