Thesis Overview

The project titled "Assessment of the Efficacy of Different Dental Flossing Techniques in Plaque Removal" aims to investigate and compare the effectiveness of various dental flossing techniques in removing plaque. Plaque is a biofilm that forms on teeth and consists of bacteria and food particles, which can lead to dental issues such as cavities and gum disease if not properly removed. Dental flossing is a common method used to clean between teeth and along the gum line, but there are different techniques and products available, each claiming to be more effective than the others. This research will delve into the existing literature on dental flossing techniques and their impact on plaque removal. The study will involve a comparative analysis of traditional string floss, water flossers, interdental brushes, and other innovative flossing tools to determine which method is most efficient in reducing plaque buildup. The research will also explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of each technique, considering factors such as ease of use, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and patient preference. Through a systematic review of relevant studies and clinical trials, this project seeks to provide evidence-based recommendations for dental professionals and individuals on the most effective flossing techniques for maintaining optimal oral health. By evaluating the efficacy of different flossing methods in plaque removal, this research aims to contribute valuable insights to the field of dentistry and promote better oral hygiene practices among the general population.
