An interventional study of Water flosser and super flosser and Orthodontic brush in Gingival Bleeding and Dental Plaque Accumulation, sponsored by sudhir rama varma. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in United Arab Emirates. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-22.
Sponsored by sudhir rama varma · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Adult orthodontic patients aged 18-30 were included in a randomised, singleblind clinical research using a split-mouth design at a dental clinic. Both theWaterflosser® and the Super-Floss® water flossers are manufactured by Oral-B.
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.
