Efficacy and acceptance of a high ‐velocity microdroplet device for interdental cleaning in gingivitis patients—A monitored, randomized controlled trial

ConclusionImproving the interdental cleaning routine with the microdroplet device or dental floss reduced gingivitis and plaque in both groups. Acceptance regarding comfort of use was higher with the microdroplet device. Dental floss remained the first choice for narrow interdental spaces, yet the microdroplet device offers an effective and well‐accepted alternative for patients who fail the proper flossing routine.
