Summary
This study tested whether using a calibrated interdental brush (sized to fit each gap) reduces gum bleeding better than a non-calibrated brush in 51 healthy young adults aged 18-30. Participants used one type of brush daily for three months. The main goal was to compare gum inflammation between the two groups. Results could help improve daily oral hygiene advice.
