Face masks are so ubiquitous in the dental practice that it’s easy to take them for granted. But not all face masks are created equal. There are a lot of ways that face masks can be more hindrance than help. Some are uncomfortable and don’t fit right, while others are hard to breathe through.

Dentsply Sirona’s Com-Fit^® Plush Natural Fit Masks addresses these problems, providing a line of protective equipment that’s comfortable, easy to use and effective.

Quality and performance

Stephanie Smith, RDH, and Sarah Klopf, RDH, are hygienists at Dr. Richard C. Trudo’s practice in Saginaw, Michigan. The practice won a year’s supply of the Com-Fit masks last summer, and they give the masks high marks.

The masks are somewhat thicker than the practice’s previous brand, providing an overall better sense of safety and protection.

Design and specs

The Com-Fit masks offer several design features that provide a level of comfort and protection, including:

• An elastic chin strap, providing a better fit for improved protection.
• A hypoallergenic inner material that feels silky soft.
• 98.8 percent particle filtration at 0.1 micron.
• A patented curved noseband to ensure proper placement.
• Soft ear loops for maximum comfort.
