Dr. Tung's - Smart Floss - 30 Yard(s) / 27 m

Dr. Tungs Smart Floss with New Biodegradable Dispenser!

There's no other floss quite like Dr.Tung's Smart Floss. It stretches and expands into interdental spaces for better removal of plaque and food particles. This high-performance floss is suitable for everyone - people with tight spaces, wider spaces...even braces.

This revolutionary floss is also great for gums. You see, Smart Floss dental floss is gentler on gums because it is cushion-soft and can stretch. Unlike those other flosses with no spring that can often hurt gums...and fingers!

Smart Floss dental floss is clinically proven to be more effective than regular floss. It has been shown to remove up to 40% more plaque than some of the most popular flosses, i.e. regular waxed and unwaxed flosses and PTFE monofilament floss (compare to Glide).

Even electric or manual flossers which claim to be as effective as regular floss are no match for Smart Floss. Smart Floss can clean around the teeth and reach deeper into the interdental spaces, leaving teeth cleaner and you smiling longer!

Now there's no excuse to use a less effective floss.

• Natural cardamom flavor for a vibrant fresh feeling!
• Lightly waxed with natural wax blend (no petrochemical wax)

Smart Floss: removes up to 50% more plaque

Experimentation In Plaque Control In the Interproximal Spaces Using Dental Floss: Genoa University, Medicine & Surgery Faculty, Preventive Dentistry dept. January 2004

Smart Floss, which expands during use and, specifically, when subjected to mechanical tension delivers better interdental plaque removal and helps reduce gingival bleeding.

Trial Objectives
Certification of the efficacy of Smart Floss dental floss by comparison with other marketed dental floss types.

Trial Materials & Methods
The supposed efficacy of Smart Floss was verified by comparison with three of the most widely used and marketed types of dental floss, in order to verify which was best suited to the needs of the patients examined.

The trial involved 40 patients divided into 4 groups.

1. The first group used a waxed dental floss (green container), with the following technical characteristics: Regular, PA 6.6, Dtex 940/136, similar to Oral B traditional waxed dental floss.
2. The second group used a monofilament dental floss (light blue container), with the following technical characteristics: PTFE, Dtex 1200, folded, slightly waxed similar to Crest Glide Floss.
3. The third used a fine dental floss (neutral container), with the following technical characteristics: Fine, PA 6.6, Dtex 700/104), similar to Butler Fine unwaxed floss.
4. The fourth group used Smart Floss floss (white container).

The bacterial plaque index – applying O’LEARY’s (PCR) technique, using a bi-tonal plaque indicator – was measured in each patient at the beginning and end of the trial:

The patients did not have professional oral hygiene care but were instructed in oral hygiene technique with the use of toothbrush and dental floss.

The patients were re-examined after two weeks.

All patients had integral anatomical papillary structure. They were not informed of the type of dental floss used.

TRIAL CONCLUSIONS
All patients showed clinical improvement from the first to the second examination two weeks later, independent of the type of dental floss used.

The inter-group differences are significant, in particular with reference to the plaque index: the use of Smart Floss delivered a mean reduction of almost 70%, notably superior to other flosses.

Further, Smart Floss was more efficacious with respect to the other dental flosses in the removal of dental plaque in patients with moderate to severe parodontitis.

Observations:

• Smart Floss users showed superior plaque reduction - between 33.9% and 58% better than each of the 3 individual flosses.
• Smart Floss users showed superior plaque reduction - 43.92% better than the average of the other three dental flosses.
