Full description

In order to reduce gingival inflammation and remove subgingival plaque, oral hygiene therapy is necessary. The available evidence indicates that mechanical plaque control, which patients administer themselves daily, is the most important factor in managing and reducing plaque accumulation. Aim: This research aimed to determine whether Waterflosser or Superfloss was more effective in lowering the gingival bleeding score and plaque. Methods: Adult orthodontic patients aged 18-30 were included in a randomised, single-blind clinical research using a split-mouth design at a dental clinic. Both the Waterflosser® and the Super-Floss® water flossers are manufactured by Oral- B.
