ABSTRACT
The effect of training on the ability to use dental floss was evaluated in a study involving forty-eight children in the 6.5 to 7.5 age-group. Using a dental plaque index for the proximal surfaces, we observed significantly superior average results for the trained group (five weekly sessions) relative to the group with no training. We also observed a significant average difference favoring the male trained group relative to the female trained group.
