dc.description.abstract | Background: One of the key factor in the good condition of periodontal tissues is their daily hygiene. Oral hygiene
techniques such brushing and a good interdental hygiene by correct flossing are very important. The aim of this
study is to compare the use of dental floss in a loop vs traditional floss in the control of Loe-Silness Gingival In-
dex (IG), Turesky ́s Plaque Index (IPT), Gingival Bleeding Index (IS) and the values of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and
interleukin 8 (IL-8).
Material and Methods: A comparative study of 40 patients in which each patient was his own control, using during
45 days each one of the devices (new loop floss and conventional floss) of interdental hygiene analysed. Data for
Loe-Silness Gingival Index (IG), Turesky ́s Plaque Index (IPT), Gingival Bleeding Index (IS) and the values of
interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8)were collected and measured in every visit for every type of interdental
hygiene device .
Results: Our data indicates that the rate of Turesky ́s Plaque Index presented statistically significant differences
between groups (loop: 1.66 ± 0.8; traditional: 1.12 ± 0.8; p <0.0001). The rest of the indices studied showed no
statistically significant differences.
Conclusions: The creation of new dental floss designs try to make their use easier and more sensitive, and plaque
removal more effective. The loop design can facilitate interdental hygiene, reaching similar effectiveness than tra-
ditional floss, improving some indicators, such as Turesky ́s Plaque Index. | es |
