Purpose: This study aimed to develop a systematic interdental brush set with size distribution based on the passage hole diameter (PHD), addressing existing gaps in size selection criteria for effective interdental cleaning.
Materials And Methods: In the first step, an interdental brush set that ascends stepwise according to the PHD value was envisioned. The study was divided into three phases: (i) in-vitro determination of PHD values of a currently existing assortment on the market by 13 calibrated dental professionals, (ii) in-vitro assessment of forces during insertion, and (iii) creation and evaluation of new prototypes for missing or non-matching PHD sizes.
