The floss is comprised of a texturized yarn that has been coated and impregnated with a water-soluble polymer and the water-soluble polymer coating cured and set while the yarn is stretched and is under tension. The yarn while stretched and tensioned is at a reduced width, which allows for easier insertion of the yarn floss between teeth. The yarn floss is wound onto a spool in the decreased width condition. For use, a length of floss is removed from the spool and placed between teeth. The saliva in the mouth dissolves the cured and set water-soluble polymer with the floss expanding to fill the space between the teeth. The floss is optionally coated with flavors, medicants and other substances. These can be synthetic or naturally occurring substances such as herbal substances.
L'invention concerne un fil dentaire constitué d'un fil texturé ayant été enrobé et imprégné d'un polymère hydrosoluble, lequel est traité et durci alors que le fil est étiré et sous tension. Le fil, lorsqu'il est étiré et sous tension, présente une largeur réduite, ce qui facilite l'insertion du fil dentaire entre les dents. Ledit fil dentaire est enroulé autour d'une bobine, alors que sa largeur est réduite. Il s'utilise de la manière suivante : on enlève une certaine longueur de fil de la bobine, que l'on place entre les dents. La salive de la bouche dissout le polymère hydrosoluble traité et durci et le fil se dilate de sorte qu'il remplit l'espace entre les dents. Ledit fil est éventuellement enrobé d'aromatisant, de médicaments et d'autres substances synthétiques ou naturelles telles que des substances d'origine végétale.
