Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to compare the OHI-S and the two versions of PHP Index in measuring the effectiveness of dental floss in the removal of dental plaque. The study demonstrated that the PHP Index provides a higher sensitivity than the OHI-S in measuring the effectiveness of approximal cleansing aids, such as dental floss. This, it seems that using the PHP Index in dental floss studies is preferable to using the OHI-S.
