Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study comprised 18-35-year-old girls and boys planning orthodontic treatment. Participants had upper right tooth to lower left molar braces, a pocket depth of 3 mm, and had not flossed in 24 hours. Smoking, periodontal disease, missing teeth, voids between teeth in the arch, and systemic disorders disqualified participants.
