A Love Affair with Dental Floss: Is it Warranted? Photo courtesy of Voyagerix/stock.adobe.com. 


Love affairs don’t usually last forever but dentistry has been preaching the message about dental flossing since the early 1800s and supposedly even before that. Johnson & Johnson was the first company that I know of to patent dental floss in 1898 and it was made of silk material. As the price of silk skyrocketed during World War II, silk was replaced with nylon. At that time, Dr Charles Bass who is often referred to as the “Father of Preventive Dentistry” insisted on twice a day toothbrushing and once a day dental flossing.

When I was young (during the pre-cretaceous period), and my gingival embrasures were healthy, daily flossing was probably adequate to disrupt interdental biofilm. When I enrolled in Fones School of Dental Hygiene, we were introduced to Trace disclosing solution and learned how to disrupt the brilliant “deep pink-stained” dental plaque. The Trace liquid or tablets would give us a snapshot of where we needed to focus our efforts and it was a real eye-opener for us.

In reading dental hygiene social media blogs about interdental cleaning, I’ve discovered that hygienists are still debating the usefulness of dental floss in comparing it to other forms of interdental cleaning devices. Personal opinion should not be discounted and is part of clinical decision making for patients, but (and this is a big “BUT”) clinicians have strong biases in the way they process experience. Therefore, we need to consider patient preferences based on unique circumstances, and even more importantly the whole body of available evidence.

For whatever reason, many American hygienists and dentists haven’t learned how to apply research outcomes to drive clinical decisions and care. Nurses and physicians, on the other hand, routinely learn how to retrieve, read, critique, and apply research.

In today’s Bachelor of Science (BS) Nursing programs, students are taught to refer to research in response to problems and questions. Sometimes, nursing schools collaborate with research librarians who help students become more competent at using information. For example, a research librarian might assist a nursing student in formulating a structured question, selecting and conducting searches of databases from which they acquire trustworthy and reliable evidence. Not only that, but the student must then learn how to critically appraise the research for its reliability, validity, and applicability to a clinical situation.

How to Find Best Research Evidence to Answer a Clinical Question

Here’s a common discussion hygienists have in Facebook groups: a practicing hygienist will pose a question about the efficacy of string flossing to reduce plaque-induced gingival inflammation in adults and others chime in, insisting other mechanical interdental devices are superior. Sometimes they don’t even mention outcomes but treat dental flossing like it’s a panacea. Let’s search databases and get an overview of what we know and don’t know about how dental flossing compares to other interdental devices. Using PubMed as our search engine, we’ll search for the best research evidence to answer the clinical question. Best evidence is viewed from a hierarchical perspective. This means that the most reliable evidence is at the top of the research pyramid (search for an image of a hierarchical research pyramid if you’ve never seen it before) and the least reliable information is at the bottom (e.g. expert opinion, reports). The level and quality of evidence are important to clinicians because they give them confidence to make clinical decisions for patients. Look for higher levels of evidence like systematic reviews instead of single studies because the conclusions of a review tend to be more reliable than a single study. The methods that scientists use to find and select studies reduce bias and are more likely to produce reliable and accurate conclusions.

A PubMed search using key words “interdental cleaning devices,” “gingival inflammation,” and “systematic review” produce several results. Cochrane Oral Health Group is a high quality systematic review source. A 2019 author team conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of interdental cleaning devices used at home, in addition to toothbrushing, compared with toothbrushing alone, for preventing and controlling periodontal diseases, dental caries and plaque. A secondary objective was to compare different interdental cleaning devices to each other.

 Authors concluded that floss or interdental brushes in addition to toothbrushing may reduce gingivitis or plaque or both more than toothbrushing alone and that interdental brushes may be more effective than floss. Available evidence for tooth cleaning sticks and oral irrigators is limited and inconsistent. Outcomes were only measured in the short term and participants had a low level of baseline gingival inflammation. Evidence from this SR was low to very low certainty.

Another 2019 systematic review by Slots DE et al summarized the available clinical evidence concerning efficacy of interdental cleaning devices in periodontal maintenance patients.

 Of the interdental cleaning devices compared in this SR, the interdental brushes reduced plaque scores more effectively when compared to a manual toothbrush alone. Oral irrigation in 2 out of 3 comparisons indicated a positive effect on gingivitis scores and probing pocket depth. Due to scarcity of studies that met the author’s inclusion criteria for each oral hygiene device and the low certainty of resultant evidence, no strong evidence was found for any specific interdental cleaning device for patient self-care in periodontal maintenance.

In a 2018 meta-analysis (Kotsakis GA et al) of interdental cleaning devices in the reduction of clinical indices or inflammation, researchers used a focused question using a gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing as primary outcomes. Plaque reduction and probing depths were secondary outcomes.

 Interdental brushes and oral irrigators ranked high for reducing gingival bleeding, and toothpicks and floss were rated last. Meta-analysis demonstrated that unsupervised flossing does not yield substantial reduction in gingival inflammation. The authors concluded that there is an absence of strong evidence to recommend 1 interdental cleaning device over another and to customize recommendations and offering alternatives rather than insisting on the use of a universally recommended cleaning aid.

In 2021, authors Liang et al produced an evidence-based decision-making tree which helps individualized approaches to interdental cleaning based on embrasure size and patient-specific conditions.

 A total of 27 studies were included to support a decision tree. Traditional string dental floss continues to remain the first choice for individuals who are highly motivated with good manual dexterity with tight, type 1 embrasures. For individuals with closed embrasures but lack motivation and/or dexterity, the use of easy flossers, soft picks oral irrigation, and narrow interdental brushes are alternatives. For persons with type I and type II open embrasure spaces, an interdental brush has the highest evidence for its effectiveness to remove interdental plaque. Two studies showed that residual plaque could remain in lingual embrasures and therefore a lingual approach of the interdental brush is sometimes needed. The use of gum stimulators and/or woodsticks are supported when significant gingival inflammation is present. Authors recommend individual assessment and tailored oral hygiene home care instructions.

There is no gold standard when it comes to selection of an interdental cleaning device for adults to reduce gingival inflammation. Ease of use, patient preference, consideration of interdental anatomy and periodontal status need to be taken into consideration when recommending an interdental cleaning device. As the above authors mentioned, customizing interdental cleaning devices makes perfect sense and oral healthcare professionals should pay close attention to their own personal bias when making these recommendations.Make sure you don’t fall into boxes that may trap you like not following the ongoing research on this subject or listening to a salesperson or colleague who is not familiar with the research evidence.

Do you trust your co-workers? I know that is not something rational people like to think about, but it is worth asking yourself this question? What about your boss…do you trust her? I know for many of you that is an easy question to answer, but that is not necessarily the case for the rest of us. I say take it deeper and unpack your feelings about your team.

I am playing devil’s advocate here, but what if you stop and realize that you do not trust the people you work with? What would that mean to you? Is there fear that unethical behavior and a quest for upselling or pushing the patient before they are ready might rub off on you? It is a legitimate question. Think about it. You are in high school. Your friends all drink heavily. Are you more likely to drink if the people around you do? Unpack it. If you are not a drinker, does that impact your friend group? Are you a part of it or do you look for a peer group that is not drinking? Honestly, my money is on the fact that you might feel like the odd person out and find a peer group that is more like you regarding your partying habits.

So, transfer that line of thinking to unethical behavior in the workplace. You and I have seen it. Maybe it was the time when something made you uncomfortable. It might be how a patient was talked to or it is watching a colleague get reamed for something they did not do. That just happened to me yesterday. An outside vendor and I did our job to the best of our ability. There was nothing that could have been done that would have improved the situation or outcome. My client just yelled at me. The more I tried to explain the situation, the worse it got, but then I realized in my old age that he was just venting and taking out his anger on me. Oh yes. I was the innocent. That is the time when I get quiet. There are times when you are trapped. So, I try not to laugh and just sit back and let them get it off their chest. You may wonder why. Confronting the people who control the purse strings is fraught with political landmines. From my experience, the distribution of power is such that it is foolish to confront the inappropriate behavior. Do not get me wrong. I do believe in standing up for myself and do that quite well. But sometimes that is not necessarily the right answer in every situation.

Watching someone being harassed is problematic not just for the victim but for the observers as well. If you jump in to rescue the person, the anger may be redirected your direction. That is not a good feeling. Doesn’t this remind you of high school and what happens when someone is bullied? I have learned that some behaviors follow people through life. But the good news is that you grow up and choose how you to respond to injurious behavior.

So, what does this have to do with trust? Incidents like this build up and tear down the culture of the practice. When you watch someone be abusive, it is impacting you as well. But you choose how to deal with it. I am not going to give you ways to respond to abuse as this is not the focus of the article. Instead, it is how behaviors like that break down trust. How can you trust your colleague 1 minute after watching them behave terribly? Keep in mind that trust is earned, not given out automatically. Trust is something that builds on past experiences. Imagine it as being a building block. It grows taller and taller 1 block at a time, but if the foundation is wobbly the whole thing will collapse.

This is what happens in a practice when the team does not show respect and acceptance. My feelings are that you need to trust the people you work with. If they say they are going to do something, they need to do it. If they are supposed to be at work on time, they should be there. Every time you let down your colleagues, you are tearing down the trust credits you had already accumulated. And what does that do to the practice? It damages it irreparably.

It can be turned around. Do not forget that we all have the capacity to change. But part of change is acceptance. I change. We all change over time. For some, they don’t change so much, and for those folks I always leave the door open. You never know what can come of it.

As far as that elephant in the room, look at your peers and figure out why you do not trust them if that is the case. Then, think about how you can change that. What needs to happen for you to trust that person? The last step is to communicate how you are feeling with a solution in hand. Do not get the person angry and defensive. Just let them know what the elephant is doing and how you can tackle it one step at a time.

 and tell me about what your trust level is with your colleagues. I want to know.

Often times, it is important to ask yourself important questions about trust among colleagues in the practice.

Tonya Lanthier is a registered dental hygienist and the DentalPost Founder & CEO. DentalPost.net, one of the fastest growing dental-related career service providers in the country, was created by Tonya, a successful dental hygienist who has been working in the dental field for over 20 years.

It’s no secret that hiring is the greatest challenge facing our industry today. Along with dental hiring managers nationwide, we hoped to see an increase in jobseeker activity and more applicants when federal unemployment benefits ended in early September. While we’ve been happy to see an uptick in activity for dental assistant and front office positions, dental hygienists are still largely inactive.

Industry-wide, attracting more dental hygiene applicants is a mystery that everyone is seeking to solve––but its root causes run deep and are the equivalent of a perfect storm for talent scarcity:

 It’s real. Hygiene work is highly physical and the new PPO and safety measures, new production schedules and the “make up for lost production and revenue” game is making it harder.

 Even before COVID,dental schools weren’t producing enough candidates to meet the growing patient demand of an aging population.

 Many RDHs who worked part-time or who were a few years away from retiring have left the industry.

We’re not out of COVID yet and it shows. Our surveys are showing that some dental professionals are being more cautious, and waiting it out to see what happens before leaving what they know and are used to. Even if their current employer isn’t meeting their standards, it feels safer to stay where they are until things feel more settled.

Some clinicians don’t see a lateral move as worth it, believing the grass won’t be greener on the other side. If they get a pay bump, many don’t believe much would change for their career.

As for the hygienists and other job seekers who are looking at job postings, we are seeing a lot who are passively browsing to see what is happening out there and where they might find a closer job or career growth opportunity. Some aren’t yet ready to leave the patients and co-workers they care about. Some worry the grassmay not be greener. All-in-all, when they make a move, they want to be strategic about it.

Despite these challenges, there are ways to win in this very competitive market.

5 Things You Can Do Today to Attract & Keep Talent in Today’s Market

So how do you get enough quality candidates, keep them engaged throughout the interview process and, ultimately, have them accept and stick around?


Engage in both active and passive recruiting

. When hiring, employers often default to slapping up a job posting in as many places as we can afford, which is basically a “spray and pray” method. But to be successful, we also need to actively recruit through proactive resume searches and candidate outreach. Doing proactive outreach to a candidate often means you need to have something competitive to offer. If there was ever a time to invest in combination resume subscription and posting packages, it’s now. Successful practices are doing both and it saves time and money in the long run.

Exceptional people are looking for an exceptional job to get them to leave. What’s a great job? Well, it’s not a laundry list of responsibilities, skills or even must-have personality traits. A great job is one that challenges the person and offers satisfaction and growth beyond just financial compensation. Is there any opportunity in the role for leadership and growth? If not, find some. What aspects of your employee/employer relationship will allow and support both the candidate and the practice growing together?

Make your office better. Cultivate an attractive and sticky culture.

This is one of the top things cited by candidates as reasons for quitting–toxic workplaces. Is your office rooted in respect? Does every supervisor treat team members with respect? Doing so, means team members feel valued and when that happens they tend to stick around longer. Can you improve operations that improve quality of work life and patient experience? Do it! Can you implement core value-driven activities that make working at your practice more purpose-driven? Can you better communicate and give employees buy-in to the business health and growth and not just the practice production?

Expand your hiring mindset and your candidate pool. 

Hiring is a whole new game in 2021.We can’t keep doing the same things and expecting a different outcome. Recognizing and being aware of our unconscious bias when it comes to candidate screening is a good place to start. As humans, we make thousands of judgements and decisions a day. Most of it is not anything we’re conscious of. When it comes to people we are far more likely to favor and trust people who are similar or familiar to us. So, it stands to reason that we would have a bias towards hiring them. This goes back to our tribal nature, where familiarity with people and places was critical to our personal safety. We use this same thinking when evaluating candidates to place in our practices to care for patients. And we do it to our detriment because we aren’t focusing on the things that matter—like skills, training, experience and aptitude. To reduce hiring bias in the screening process, DentalPost recently launched Smartview, a new blind screening feature that temporarily hides candidate names and photos so hiring managers can focus first on what matters most–experience, special training and personal details.

Improve the overall compensation to include benefits. 

While a toxic work environment is the most cited reason people want to leave their jobs, this one is a close second. It’s more common than not that dental professionals are not provided benefits when working with private dental practices, even when they have been employed for several years with the practice. Combine this with the additional work, more intense work conditions and risks associated with COVID-19 and it stands to reason that dental team members feel they deserve a raise. Given compensation is driving some of the lateral moves in dental hygiene teams, it behooves dental hiring managers to understand current market rates (which have increased due to COVID-19 since the last DentalPost Salary Survey).

Hiring should be the number one priority for dental practices today. It’s the greatest challenge facing our industry and the research shows it will continue to be an issue for the next decade. The great news is that if we take these steps outlined above, we will not only fill team gaps, but we can begin to address some of the more systemic issues plaguing the dental practice today by creating a better practice culture by articulating and living out our core values. If, as dental leaders, we can get these things right, we can keep our industry attracting the best and brightest providing dental professionals a better place to work, a better quality of life so they can provide and a better patient experience.

Hiring is the greatest challenge facing our industry and it should be the number one priority for dental practices today. 

Thriving In a Scarce Dental Talent Market

Featuring a proprietary split wedge design that solves Class II procedural inefficiencies such as gingival seal issues, matrix contour issues and proximal contact issues all in one easy-to-use device, VursaWedge is now available in new sizes and designs to expand its capabilities.

BurtonBands announces the immediate availability of several new VursaWedge innovations, including the release of 2 new sizes—medium and large—and the addition of the Anatomical VursaWedge designed specifically for use in challenging furcation cases.

Invented by Illinois practicing dentist Matthew Burton, DDS, the VursaWedge provides a better seal at the gingival margin that also results in less flash, thereby achieving better results with less time needed for finishing and polishing.

“The flexible split wedge design of VursaWedge allows for proper contour and a tight gingival seal, as the two legs of the wedge splay out to effectively hold the matrix in place, creating a system that is fully compatible with all major ring systems,” states Dr Burton. “The current small size VursaWedge is ideal for use in healthy gingiva cases with little-to-no attachment loss. However, I quickly realized that larger sizes would be needed to overcome larger embrasure cases, and that’s where the new medium and large size VursaWedges come into play.”

For more on VursaWedge products and direct composite restorative dentistry, watch this video interview Dr Burton did with DPR managing editor Stan Goff by 

Additionally, Dr Burton developed a specialized VursaWedge for use with cases involving furcation. Due to its unique convex contour, the aptly named Anatomical VursaWedge allows clinicians to predictably seal difficult furcation cases.

VursaWedge is available to dentists in the US and Canada through an exclusive distribution agreement with Young Specialties. For more information and to order, visit:

New Study from Align Shows iTero Element 5D Caries Detection Capability


Align Technology announced findings of a study published in the peer-reviewed 

titled “Reflected near-infrared light versus bite-wing radiography for the detection of proximal caries: a multicenter prospective clinical study conducted in private practices.” This study is said to demonstrate the value of the iTero Element 5D imaging system in caries detection and monitoring.

The study compared the detection of interproximal caries using near infrared technology (NIRI) and bitewing radiography. The study also compared NIRI and bitewing radiography to clinical removal of tooth decay. The iTero Element 5D’s imaging system and its NIRI was 66% more sensitive than bitewing x-ray technology and demonstrated 96% sensitivity for posterior interproximal lesions detections.

In the study, 100 patients in 5 dental clinics across Germany and Canada received intraoral scans using the iTero Element 5D imaging system. The imaging system scans the internal structure of the tooth in real time, which is designed to aid in caries detection. NIRI was found to be more sensitive than bitewing radiography in detecting early enamel lesions and comparable in detecting dentinal lesions.

The study was sponsored by Align Technology and was lead authored by Dr Zvi Metzger, Professor, Departments of Oral Biology and Endodontology at The Goldschledger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University.

This new study finds that the the iTero Element 5D imaging system is effective in early caries detection.

Tackling Dental Staffing Needs with DentalPost

In this video, Dental Products Report Editorial Director Noah Levine has a conversation with CEO & Founder of DentalPost, Tonya Lanthier, RDH, about navigating needs met when staffing a dental practice. 

New Study Shows “Nanozyme” Therapy Prevents Plaque Buildup


A new study led by the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine demonstrates that an FDA-approved iron-oxide nanoparticle used to treat anemia, can act as an enzyme to activate hydrogen peroxide to suppress the growth of tooth-decay that lead to biofilms. This study was inspired by the evidence that there is a link between iron-deficiency anemia and severe tooth decay.

Research from the University of Pennsylvania in collaboration with Indiana University suggests that this iron-oxide, nanoparticle therapy can be used to treat and prevent eventual tooth decay. The therapy is a combination of iron-oxide nanoparticle-containing solution ferumoxytol and hydrogen peroxide. The study found that applying ferumoxtyl and a follow-up rinse that activated the hydrogen peroxide contained within, when applied twice a day, reduced buildup of harmful dental plaque.

Researchers had 15 participants use a removable, denture device with real tooth enamel attached. Participants applied a sugar solution to the appliance 4 times a day and asked not to brush the enamel, but to rinse the appliance twice a day. Three groups of applied 3 different methods each; one group used the ferumoxytol then hydrogen peroxide rinse, 1 group used a solution that provided the inactive ingredients in ferumoxytol, and the third group just used water. The results supported the conclusion that the experimental treatment reduced the growth of biofilms with high specificity. This “nanozyme” particle has great potential in biomedical therapies, according to Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Hyun (Michel) Koo.

“We found that this approach is both precise and effective,” Koo said in an article from 

“It disrupts biofilms, particularly those formed by 

, which cause caries, and it also reduced the extent of enamel decay. This is the first study we know of done in a clinical setting that demonstrates the therapeutic value of nanozymes against an infectious disease.”

The full study has been published in the journal 

and is a continuation of a 2018 paper published in 

This new study demonstrates that this specific ferumoxytol and hydrogen peroxide therapy can treat and prevent plaque buildup.
