ABSTRACT:
A disposable dental flosser comprises a resilient plastic tuning fork-like holder and a dental floss element secured under tension to the tips of the two prongs of the holder. The ends of the floss element are retained to the holder in an inexpensive yet highly effective way by using corner edge friction resistance factor, i.e. by forcing the ends of the floss element onto and into the surface of the plastic holder by the use of metal staples, rivets or eyelets having a plurality of right angle portions so as to force the ends of the floss element into a torturous, angulated, labyrinthian pattern with a plurality of right angle turns.
