 note = {Conventional toothbrushes are not sufficient for removing plaque, especially at the interproximal region, however, dental floss as adjuncts to dental hygiene provides a great benefit for disrupting the oral biofilm in the interproximal areas. The objective of the present study was to compare the sham plaque removal ability of dental floss products have used a laboratory method. Three kinds of F-shaped dental floss products used in this study. A, polyester and bundles of many thin filaments; B, Teflon and single wide tape; and C, nylon and bundles of many thin fi lament. A plaque-like substrate was placed in the interproximal area of the artificial teeth. The floss product to be evaluated was affixed to the flossing simulator and placed around interproximal surfaces of plaque-covered incisor and/or molar teeth extending to a 90°angle. A 200g force was applied to the floss. The flossing simulator was adjusted to provide a flossing  stroke of 10 mm (incisor) and 6 mm (molar) at a rate of 10 strokes per minute for a duration of 30 seconds. The results were photographed, and the cleaning effectiveness were calculated for each picture by computer digital image analysis. This test was repeated five times for each dental floss that was evaluated. The resulting data were analyzed using ANOVA and Scheff e’s tes (t p<0.05). As a result, floss A had significantly greater than floss B in the interproximal sham plaque removal maxillary central incisors. There were no statistically significant differences between floss A and floss C in the interproximal sham plaque removal at maxillary central incisors. There was no statistically significant difference among the three dental floss products at maxillary right second premolar. The rate of plaque removal was highest with floss A that gave a significant greater removal of the sham plaque than the other two dental floss on the maxillary right first molar. These results suggest that dental floss A was more effective in interproximal plaque removal in this in vitro model used for determining of used three F-shaped dental floss products.},
