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.

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.
