Special floss fights gum disease bugs
NCT ID NCT07149493
Summary
This study tested a new type of dental floss coated with a helpful bacteria (a probiotic) to see if it could reduce harmful germs linked to gum disease and plaque. Thirty-three men with generally healthy gums used both the probiotic floss and a regular floss for two weeks each. Researchers measured the amount of plaque, gum bleeding, and specific bacteria before and after using each floss type.
