The study objective was to evaluate the efFect of two different interdental oral cleaning modalities on gingivitis and plague following a 4-week period of home use. This was a randomized, parallel, single-blinded study. Subjects were routine manual toothbrush (MTB) users with moderate to severe gingivitis, aged 18 to 65 years. Subjects were required at baseline to have a gingival bleeding score of 21 on at least 50 gingival sites per the Gingival Bleeding -Index (GBI) and to have an overall plague score of 20.6 per the Rustogi Modified Navy Plague -Index CRMNPI) following a 3- to 6-hour plague accumulation period. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups based on the oral care cleaning modalities: (1) NON group: MTB alone, (2) IDB group: MTB plus an intel·dental brush, or (3) MPF group: MTB plus a Philips® Sonicare'" Power Flosser with the Quad Stream nozzle. All subjects used the MTB with fluoride toothpaste. Efficacy measures (Modified Gingival Index [MGI], GBI, and RMNPI) and safety were assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the reduction in gingival inflammation from baseline to week 4 as measured by the MGI. A total of 189 subjects were randomized and 186 completed the study. The adjusted mean percent reduction in gingival inflammation from baseline to week 4 was 2.80% for the NON group, 11.32% for tlie IDB group, and 20.87% for the MPF group. The differences between the MPF group and the NON and IDB groups were statistically significant (P < .0001). In conclusion, use of the MTB with the Philips Sonicare Power Flosser showed statistically significant benefits compared to an MTB alone and an MTB used with an interdental brush in reducing gingival inflammation following 4 weeks of home use.
