Abstract in brief

The review examined the effectiveness of different interdental cleaning devices, such as dental floss, interdental brushes, woodsticks, and oral irrigators, in reducing gingivitis when used alongside toothbrushing, based on six systematic reviews.
The evidence shows that interdental brushes are the most effective for removing plaque and reducing gingivitis, while flossing has limited or unclear benefits for plaque removal, though it may help reduce gingivitis.
Overall, most interdental care devices support gingivitis management, but their effectiveness varies, with interdental brushes having the strongest supporting evidence.]

@wavingtoanimals If it makes you feel better, there is no evidence flossing helps remove plaque and only minimal evidence suggestive that it helps prevent gum disease. https://t.co/RrlTa7GjZ7

@idavidrein @reconfigurthing I say this tongue in cheek (in the spirit of OP??) but there is in fact a debate over whether flossing is effective & the force of recommendation of it by dentists isn't backed by rigorous empirical studies, that at best deem the evidence weak https://t.co/Vbi01aZ9V4

@IFdiet @chadcas @macnairphotos @CBCNews @CBCHealth @VikCBC Actually, evidence remarkable weak. See, for example, https://t.co/GKA4miW2zo: "The majority of available studies fail to demonstrate that flossing is generally effective in plaque removal." And see: https://t.co/wtoYGM42bG So, a bit of support, but underwhelming.
