چکیده

background: Toothbrushing for daily oral biofilm disruption is well accepted by clients, but dental flossing is not, due to poor dexterityor lack of motivation or both. The interdental brush is considered an easy to use alternative, which may influence daily self care compliance;however it has only been studied in subjects with open embrasures. Purpose: To determine whether interdental brush’s ease of use influ-ences willingness for daily compliance in subjects with intact interdental papillae. Methods: This paper focuses on the secondary outcome ofa randomized controlled trial comparing interdental brush to dental floss in 32 adults with intact but bleeding interdental papillae. Subjectsreceived non surgical debridement two weeks prior to intervention phase, and instructions to use toothbrush, dental floss, and interdentalbrush at baseline (week 0) and week 6. Subject compliance was measured with self reported journals and amount of products used. exitsurvey collected information about subjects’ perceptions and preferences for interdental brush and dental floss. results: Subjects were morethan twice as likely to “strongly agree” that interdental brush was easy to use compared to flossing, with 40% having neutral opinions aboutdental floss’s ease of use. They were also willing to use the interdental brush daily (43.3% strongly agreed and 50% agreed). The subjects’opinions regarding daily dental flossing ranged from “disagree” to “strongly agree” (6.7% to 30.0% respectively). Discussion: Study resultswere similar to other studies that demonstrated client compliance with interproximal oral self care is associated with clients’ perceptions ofease of use and motivation. Conclusion: Interdental brush is easy to use and well accepted by study subjects, which may positively influencedaily interproximal self care compliance. rEsUMEContexte : La clientèle accepte bien le brossage des dents pour le nettoyage quotidien du biofilm, mais il n’en est pas ainsi de l’usage dela soie dentaire à cause du manque de dextérité ou de motivation, ou des deux. Considérée plus facile à utiliser, la brosse interdentaire peutinfluencer la pratique des soins personnels quotidiens; toutefois, cela n’a pas fait l’objet d’études chez les sujets ayant des embrasures ouver-tes. Objet : Établir si la facilité d’utilisation de la brosse interdentaire influence la propension au brossage quotidien chez les sujets dont lespapilles interdentaires sont intactes. Méthode : Cet article se concentre sur les effets secondaires d’un essai contrôlé et randomisé, comparantle brossage interdentaire à l’utilisation de la soie dentaire chez 32 adultes ayant des papilles interdentaires intactes, mais saignantes. Les sujetsont reçu un débridement non chirurgical deux semaines avant la phase d’intervention et des instructions sur la façon d’utiliser la brosse àdents, la soie dentaire et la brosse interdentaire au départ (semaine 0) et à la 6e semaine. La propension des sujets a été mesurée à partir decomptes-rendus quotidiens et de la quantité de produits utilisés. Le dernier questionnaire a permis de recueillir de l’information sur la percep-tion et les préférences des sujets concernant la brosse et la soie dentaire. résultats : Les sujets étaient au moins deux fois plus enclins à être« vivement d’accord » sur la facilité d’utilisation de la brosse interdentaire comparativement à la soie dentaire, et 40% se sont dit neutres sur lafacilité d’utilisation de la soie dentaire. on était aussi d’accord à utiliser la brosse interdentaire quotidiennement (43,3 % étaient très d’accordet 50 %, d’accord). L’avis des sujets concernant l’usage quotidien de la soie dentaire variait entre « d’accord » et « ytès d’accord » (6,7 % à30,0 %, respectivement). Discussion : Les résultats de l’étude ressemblent à ceux des autres études qui ont démontré que la propension desclients aux soins buccaux interproximaux personnels s’associe à la perception de facilité d’usage et à la motivation des clients. Conclusion : Labrosse interdentaire est facile à utiliser et bien acceptée par les sujets de l’étude, ce qui peut influencer positivement la propension aux soinsinterproximaux personnels et quotidiens.
