Bleeding severity

See more than whether bleeding is present

Recommendations

From assessment to action

When you select an interdental brush during the assessment, BOB automatically carries it into the recommendation screen. Review the selected sizes, add other care tools, and provide the patient with clear, personalized guidance.

The BOB Score.
Easy to understand.
Hard to ignore.

Four colour-coded BOB Score bands show what was recorded chairside and make progress easy to follow.

BOB Score

Bleeding or no bleeding

The BOB scoring panel: tap Bleeding or No Bleeding for each interdental space

Spaces with bleeding ÷ assessed spaces × 100
gives the BOB Score percentage.

Optional detail

Bleeding severity

Mild Moderate Severe
BOB Settings: the Bleeding Severity switch, on or off

Switch on Bleeding Severity in Settings to also record mild, moderate or severe. It adds detail; it does not replace the BOB Score percentage.

Built for professionals who teach prevention

The BOB App is designed exclusively for dental professionals who want to make interdental care understandable and actionable.

Help patients see what you see

Patients can see which interdental spaces bled, their overall BOB Score, and the brush sizes recorded for home care. At follow-up visits, changes in the recorded score make progress easier to discuss.

Good habits deserve to feel rewarding

Whether you’re assessing interdental health or supporting patients between visits, Curaden Apps are designed to strengthen communication, education, and long-term care.

In one minute, not a lecture

A full-mouth score inside the exam you already do. No extra appointment. No repeating yourself.

Interdentals that stick

Their own score does the convincing — so the interdental brushes you recommend actually get used.

Proof, visit after visit

Scores that change over time give patients, teams and practices a clear way to follow progress across visits.

Built with professionals. Backed by Curaden.

From Switzerland to clinics around the world, Curaden combines professional education, prevention-focused methods, and human-centered design. BOB is developed with dental professionals and continually improved for real clinical workflows.

Getting started

What is the BOB App, and what does BOB stand for?

BOB = Bleeding on Brushing. A chairside tool for dental practices that turns an interdental check into a score, a chart and a home-care plan for the patient.

BOB dental chart: each interdental space coloured by brush size, with bleeding points marked

The chart fills in as you go: each space takes the colour of the brush that fits it, and bleeding is marked.

Made by Curaden AG, the company behind CURAPROX, for dentists, hygienists and therapists.

How does a BOB session work?

Three steps, then a plan for the patient.

1

MouthMap. Mark crowns, implants, bridges, gaps and missing teeth.

2

Assessment. BOB Index (brush sizes and bleeding), BPE Screening (gum health), or both.

3

Home Care Prescription. Results and products are emailed to the patient.

New session screen with BPE Screening and BOB Index options

Choose BOB Index, BPE Screening, or both, when you start a session.

Once approved, each coach receives their own login details by email.

Tip

No email? Check your spam or junk folder first. It's the most common reason.

My country is not listed in the sign-up form. What does this mean?

Choose “Other countries” and submit anyway. BOB isn't officially launched in your country yet, so our team will contact you about the options.

Where can I download the BOB App?

A tablet, in landscape. Use the supported iPadOS or Android tablet versions listed below.

iPadOS 15.1+

iPad only, no iPhone or Mac

Non-IDB

Single tufted brush, floss, mouthwash, custom items

Scoring panel with Prime, Perio and Non-IDB tabs and colour-coded CPS brushes

The scoring panel: pick the brush that fits, then mark bleeding.

Can I check gum health in the same session?

Yes, with BPE Screening. Run it on its own or alongside the BOB Index.

Score each of the six sextants 0–4 or X, and flag furcation or plaque-retentive factors. The patient sees it in plain language as “Your gum health check”.

“Your gum health check”: each sextant explained in plain language.

What does the patient receive?

Their BOB Score and a Home Care Prescription, by email.

Recommendations: CURAPROX products with quantities and written advice

The products and quantities chosen for the patient, plus their coach's advice.

Can I show patients how they are progressing?

Yes. Use Compare BOB Score once a patient has two finished sessions.

See the first and latest score, a trend across the year, and exactly which brush sizes and bleeding changed. Spaces that weren't examined are marked, so they're never counted as an improvement.

Patient record→Compare BOB Score
Can I run a session without saving patient details?

Yes. Choose “Skip and start anonymous session” when adding a patient. Useful for demos and walk-ins.
