Objectives: To assess and evaluate the knowledge, awareness, and usage of inter‑dental aids among the patients visiting a dental hospital. Materials and Methods: A cross‑sectional descriptive study was conducted among patients using a questionnaire for evaluation of routine oral hygiene regimens. Results: 89% of patients brush their teeth only once a day. 77% of patients do not use any inter‑dental aid, while 76% of patients are unaware about inter‑dental aids. Conclusion: A very small part of the population is aware about the importance of using inter‑dental aids in maintaining proper oral hygiene. Dentists play a key role in educating the society and encouraging them to use other aids apart from toothbrushes to prevent oral diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
