NCT ID NCT06923748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two cleaning tools—superfloss and interdental brushes—in 52 adults with gum inflammation around dental implants. Each person used one tool daily along with an electric toothbrush. Researchers measured plaque and bleeding to see which worked better. The goal is to find the best way to keep implant gums healthy.

What this could lead to
