Abstract in brief

  • This study compares the effectiveness of straight versus angled interdental brushes in removing plaque between teeth, finding that straight brushes are generally more effective, especially in posterior teeth and on different tooth surfaces.
  • Participants used these brushes after a professional cleaning, with their plaque levels and tissue health monitored before and after brushing.
  • Overall, straight brushes showed better plaque reduction without causing more tissue damage compared to angled brushes, particularly in specific areas of the mouth.]
