CS 5460 Ultra Soft Toothbrush
The gold standard for manual toothbrushes, the CS 5460 uses 5,460 Curen filaments instead of standard nylon bristles. These filaments are significantly finer and stiffer when wet, allowing for an incredibly dense and soft cleaning surface that is gentle on gums while being highly effective at biofilm disruption.
Quality & Materials
Bristles are made of Curen® (polyester), which absorbs significantly less water than nylon, remaining stable and effective for longer. The handle is made of high-quality BPA-free polypropylene.
Evidence & Testing
While manual brushes have less RCT backing than electrics, Curaprox is the top choice for periodontists globally for post-surgical care and non-traumatic cleaning.
Brand Transparency
Curaden (the parent company) is transparent about filament count, material composition, and their Swiss manufacturing standards.
Value Assessment
At roughly $6-7 per brush when bought in packs, it is more expensive than a generic brush but offers vastly superior longevity and gum protection.
Why Not Alternatives?
Standard drugstore manual brushes (like Colgate or Oral-B manual) typically have roughly 1,000 nylon bristles which can be abrasive and lose their shape quickly. Curaprox's octagonal handle forces the user to brush at the correct 45-degree angle, a feature missing from most ergonomic competitors.
