[Efficiency of a new instrument: the Jet-Floss for the elimination of dental plaque].
A study was undertaken to compare the efficiency of a manual toothbrush, unwaxed dental floss, a traditional water irrigating device and a new instrument, the Jet-Floss, in regard to dental plaque removal. The ability to remove 48 hours plaque was assessed among the oral hygiene techniques. The Jet-Floss method was found to be superior in the pericoronal areas than other form of instrumentation. The combined oral hygiene exercise utilizing the conventional toothbrush and the Jet-Floss yielded significantly better results than the use of each single device.
