Area of Science:

Periodontology
Dental Hygiene

Context:

Interdental brushes are frequently recommended for interdental cleaning.
Recommended for patients with periodontal tissue destruction and open interproximal spaces.

Purpose:

Determine the frequency of interdental brush reach in interdental spaces.
Compare reach in individuals with and without papilla destruction.

Summary:

High brush penetration rates observed in interproximal spaces.
Patients without gingival recession and loss of attachment showed outstanding brush penetration.

Impact:

Findings highlight the efficacy of interdental brushes in specific patient groups.
Informs recommendations for optimal interdental cleaning tools based on periodontal status.
