Abrégé

The present invention includes monofilament dental tapes for removing plaque and/or food debris from interdental spaces of a mammal, which dental tapes have a core body with an aspect ratio of greater than about 5:1 and a first cleaning surface and a second cleaning surface opposite the first cleaning surface, where at least one of the first and second cleaning surfaces includes a plurality of ribs disposed along the length thereof, and where the ratio of the width of the dental tape to the thickness of the dental tape is from about 4:1 to about 25:1.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a bobbin of elastomeric tape that includes:
a. a
bobbin spool core having a width; and b. an elastomeric dental tape wound onto
the bobbin
spool core such that it forms a width. The elastomeric dental tape includes:
i. a core body
comprising a first cleaning surface and a second cleaning surface opposite
said first cleaning
surface, said core body having an aspect ratio of greater than 10:1; and ii. a
plurality of ribs
disposed along at least one of said first and second cleaning surfaces. The
ratio of the width
of said elastomeric dental tape to the thickness of said elastomeric dental
tape is from 3:1 to
25:1. The width formed by the elastomeric dental tape exceeds the width of the
bobbin spool
core by no more than 10 percent of the width of the bobbin spool core.
