Electric flosser study for plaque and gum health
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether an electric flosser is better than a manual toothbrush for reducing plaque and gum inflammation. Participants will use the electric flosser for 30 days while having regular checkups. This could help you learn a new way to improve your oral health.
