“…The pressure applied by a horizontal brush in the interdental area should be firm and continuous until reaching maximum compression with minimal discomfort to the patient. A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to estimate the correlation between the patient's discomfort perception and the interproximal pressure (0 = no pain, 10 = unbearable pain) . The pressure used to place the IDB was approximately 50–100 N cm −2 (0.20–0.40 gram‐force), and 80% of participants were assigned a VAS score of ≤1.…”

“…These examiners were trained in the use of the CPS Curaprox IDBs in a single cleaning movement, comprising three stages: (i) place an IDB at the point where the interdental gap begins, tilt the tip at an angle to the centreline of the teeth, and push it in gently at the correct angle as far as the centre of the teeth; (ii) without putting any more pressure on the brush, hold the handle at 90° to the teeth; and (iii) push the brush through with care and then pull it out. The VAS was used . Examiners were blinded to each other, and the two observations were collected at an interval of at least 15 min.…”

Efficacy of interdental calibrated brushes on bleeding reduction in adults: a 3-month randomized controlled clinical trial

et al. 2016

This study investigated the effect of interdental brushes on the reduction of interproximal bleeding in adults without periodontal disease. Forty-six adults were enrolled in a 3-month, observer-blinded, parallel-group randomized control trial. The test group used a standard manual toothbrush twice daily and an interdental brush daily. The control group used a standard manual toothbrush. At each visit, a calibrated colorimetric probe was used in all interdental spaces to determine the appropriate size of the interdental brush required, the brush of the corresponding size was introduced into the interproximal space, and the presence of bleeding was recorded. The outcome was the frequency of bleeding after application of the appropriate interdental brush. All participants were evaluated 1 wk, 1 month, and 3 months after the baseline visit. The overall preventive fraction with respect to bleeding frequency was 46% at 1 wk and 72% at 3 months. More bleeding reduction was observed in anterior sites than in posterior sites (80% vs. 69%, respectively). Participants with low baseline bleeding frequency presented with less bleeding (OR = 2.3). This study shows that daily use of calibrated interdental brushes reduces interdental bleeding. These findings may support interdental cleaning as an effective means to help individuals maintain and/or achieve optimal oral health.

“…In the present paper, although we have tried to classify the papilla based on different indices to check the postoperative results, an index, called the interdental pressure index, could not be used as it required additional armamentarium and was discovered during the literature review after the procedures were carried out. The index takes into account the inflammatory status of the interdental papilla by evaluating the pressure applied by a modified dynamom-eter [38]. The number of cases in this report is too small to establish a proper guideline for selection of the best technique for papilla reconstruction.…”

Salvaging the Lost Pink Triangle: A Case Series of Papilla Reconstruction

Introduction. The interdental papilla may be lost or reduced in height, forming black triangles due to various reasons, which gives an unaesthetic appearance when the patient smiles. Various noninvasive and invasive techniques have been used to augment/reconstruct the interdental papilla, to reclaim the pink triangle. The most satisfactory and natural appearance can be obtained by augmenting or reconstructing the lost papilla as the pink esthetics is as important as the white esthetics. Cases. Two female patients and 1 male patient reported to the dental department with the complaint of a small black gap in the gum area between their upper front teeth since 6 months and 1 year, respectively. On examination, the interdental papillae in all three cases were classified as class 1 (Nordland and Tarnow’s). The interdental papilla was augmented surgically by using three different approaches in each case. Result and Conclusion. Postoperatively and after 1-month follow-up, there was a complete fill of the interdental area by the interdental papilla normal (Nordland and Tarnow’s). As a result, the black triangle was successfully converted into a natural pink triangle in all three cases.

“…At 4- and 5-year follow-up visits, clinical condition of the treated tooth appeared stable, with neither probing pocket depth (PPD) nor bleeding on probing, neither signs of inflammation nor tooth mobility, and slight buccal gingival recession and negative interdental pressure index [Figures 4 and 5 ].

Can a single molar root act as a whole tooth?

This clinical case describes the longitudinal outcome of a radisected upper molar root. The palatal root acted as an abutment and was finalized with a double-premolar-shaped metal-resin crown with two rests on the adjacent teeth. Fifteen years later, the root and its crown were still in place, with no pathologic pocket probing depth and lack of inflammation; the tooth was still in function with no signs of periodontal breakdown. This therapeutic option seemed to have been biologically respectful and maintains the possibility to provide future implant therapy.
