Clinical evaluation of a new flossing device.

The clinical effectiveness of a new flossing device, the Floss Plus easy flosser, in reducing interproximal plaque and interproximal gingival inflammation was compared to the effectiveness of hand-held floss. The first phase studied 36 dental students, while the second studied 26 adult patients undergoing supportive periodontal treatment. In both phases, the subjects were divided into two groups.
