Summary

To compare three different oral hygiene regimens on changes in gum tissue appearance, gum bleeding, and plaque scores.

Detailed description

The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the effect of different battery powered water in and adult population with mild to moderate gingivitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference between the two water flosser devices on gum bleeding scores? * Is there a difference between the two water flosser devices on plaque accumulation and removal? * Is there a difference between the two water flosser devices on signs of gingivitis? Researchers will compare the two groups using a water flosser (experimental) to see how it compares to traditional brushing and flossing (control).

Conditions
