Use BOB chairside to assess interdental spaces, record bleeding, calculate the BOB Score and turn the findings into a clear home-care recommendation—in under a minute.
Whether you’re assessing interdental health or supporting patients between visits, BOB App is designed to strengthen communication, education, and long-term care.
Four colour-coded BOB Score bands show what was recorded chairside and make progress easy to follow.
BOB Score
Spaces with bleeding ÷ assessed spaces × 100
gives the BOB Score percentage.
Optional detail
Switch on Bleeding Severity in Settings to also record mild, moderate or severe. It adds detail; it does not replace the BOB Score percentage.
The BOB App is designed exclusively for dental professionals who want to make interdental care understandable and actionable.
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.

BOB App FAQ
Find your answer by topic, or jump straight to what most practices need.
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.
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.
Three steps, then a plan for the patient.
