Effectiveness of the “CIOTIPlus”- system on cleaning of approximal surfaces - Online DZZ

Introduction: An efficient removal of biofilm plays a major role in the prevention of caries as well as gingivitis and periodontitis. In this respect, besides the professional hygiene measures performed in the dental practice, an effective, self-responsible, home-based oral hygiene should also take place. A predilection site for caries and gingivitis is represented by the tooth surfaces below the proximal contact points, which can hardly be cleaned with toothbrushes alone. The aim of the present cross-over pilot study was to investigate whether two-times brushing in accordance with the CIOTIPlus-System (Chewing, Inside, Outside, Tongue and Interdental area, Plus: second brushing) using different brushing regimens (time and type of interdental hygiene tools) has an effect on interdental cleaning (IDC).
