Interdental Aids-A Literature Review
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The bacterial plaque that forms on all hard and soft oral tissues is considered to be the principal etiological agent of dental caries and periodontal disease. The accumulation of plaque facilitated by poor oral health maintenance predisposes to gingivitis, leading to the onset of periodontal inflammation. The use of interdental aids is important to sufficiently clean the interdental areas of the biofilm that forms from time to time. 1.1. Aim: This review presents data regarding the efficacy of different types of interdental aids and its recent advancements. 1.2. Methodology: Review of some original research studies which aims to discuss the points mentioned in the study problem. 1.3. Conclusion: Interdental cleaning devices are useful aids in controlling the formation of interproximal plaque. The interdental brushes have shown to be more efficacious and convenient for the patient. These aids in addition to tooth brushing should be encouraged for the general population for effective maintenance of oral health.
