ABSTRACT:
A method and device for cleaning abutment members of a dental implant in which a relatively rigid support member carries a cleaning element into a position around the lingual surface of the abutment member to be cleaned whereafter the cleaning element can be rubbed against the abutment member to effect the cleaning. The cleaning element can be fixed to the support member in which case, the support member is manipulated to achieve the cleaning of the abutment member by the cleaning element. Alternatively, the support member can be removed from the mouth after the cleaning element has been put into place around the abutment member whereafter cleaning of the abutment member is achieved by the cleaning element itself.
