IRCT20231123060153N2 IRCT 2024-07-21 Gorgan University of Medical Sciences The effect of flossing and brushing on plaque and gingival index Comparison of effect of using dental floss before and after brushing on plaque index and gingival index of posterior teeth in dental students of Gorgan dental faculty 2024-04-03 anticipated 32 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/75332 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Health service research, Other design features: In this study, referring to Turkezban et al.'s study (11) with a confidence level of 0.95 and a test power of 0.80, and taking into account the purpose of comparing the average plaque index before and after using the following formula, a total of 32 people were randomly sampled. students will be selected from the community under study. The students will be assigned to two groups by block allocation, the first group will use toothbrush-dental floss for two weeks and the second group will use dental floss-brush and after two weeks, its plaque index and gingival index will be measured. and two weeks of wash out will be taken into account and after that their plaque index and gingival index will be measured and again the students of the first group will first use dental floss-brush and the second group will use toothbrush-floss and after two weeks the plaque index And the gingival index will be measured, Randomization description: Block randomization of study groups: In the first stage, people are randomly divided into toothbrush-dental floss (A) and dental floss-toothbrush (B) groups. Random block method will be used to assign people to groups. For this purpose, all six positions of letters A and B are considered in blocks of four. Table 1: Table 1: Generated random block (1) AABB (2)BBAA (3)ABAB (4)BABA (5)ABBA (6)BAAB To allocate 16 students in each group (32 people in total), 8 blocks of 4 are needed. To select 8 blocks first, 8 random numbers between 1 and 6 will be generated by repetition (with placement). Thus, a sequence of letters A and B will be created containing 32 letters (16 letters A and 16 letters B). The random numbers generated in the R software and the random block attributed to the numbers generated using the above table are as follows Block number Randomly generated number Attributed block 1 4 BABA 2 5 ABBA 3 6 BAAB 4 6 BAAB 5 1 AABB 6 2 BBAA 7 4 BABA 8 3 ABAB For example, the first person who meets the study entry criteria is in group B, the second person is in group A, the third person is in group B, and the fourth person is in group A. And it continues until 32 people respectively. People are matched in terms of age and sex, Blinding description: The examiners are not aware of the type of intervention (single blind). N/A Gingival Index, Plaque Index. Intervention 1: Intervention group: using a toothbrush after using dental floss. Intervention 2: Control group: using dental floss after using a toothbrush. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: The documents will be attached to the file. When: The access period starts from 1402 To whom: Everyone can access the documents.

Timepoint: Before starting the intervention in both groups، Two weeks after intervention in each group, two weeks after cleansing, two weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: For the gingival index variable, we first measured the four surfaces of the teeth with the help of a probe and if 0: normal gums, 1: mild inflammation, slight color change, no swelling, no BOP2: moderate inflammation, redness, swelling and glossiness of the gums with BOP3: severe inflammation with Redness and swelling, wounds and continuous bleeding, and for the index plaque variable from Fuchsin tablets, which is based on the amount of tooth surface color using the following formula (number of teeth)/(teeth 100 (percentage) x 4).
