This study assessed the effect of triweekly interdental brushing for a period of 6 months using the bleeding on full-mouth interdental brushing (BOFIB) index. All participants answered questionnaires and were instructed to clean all interdental areas using an interdental brush at least every second day. A dentist assessed the BOFIB index of 28 participants at baseline and at 3- and 6-month follow-up visits. We stratified the participants into three groups: IB-NN, those who used the interdental brush less than three times per week both before and after this program; IB-NY, those who used the interdental brush less than three times per week before the program but at least three times per week after the program; and IB-YY, those who used it at least three times per week both before and after the program. Owing to the weekly number of interdental brushings, the IB-YY and the other two groups showed a significant difference at baseline. At the 6-month follow-up, the weekly number of interdental brushings led to a significant difference between the IB-NN and the other two groups. The BOFIB index was lower among the compliant participants than among the noncompliant participants after 3 and 6 months of triweekly interdental brushing.
本研究使用全口牙间隙刷牙出血（BOFIB）指数评估了每三周进行一次牙间隙刷牙为期6个月的效果。所有参与者均回答了问卷，并被指导至少每隔一天使用牙间隙刷清洁所有牙间隙区域。一名牙医在基线时以及在3个月和6个月的随访时评估了28名参与者的BOFIB指数。我们将参与者分为三组：IB-NN组，即在此项目前后每周使用牙间隙刷少于三次的人；IB-NY组，即在此项目前每周使用牙间隙刷少于三次但在此项目后每周至少使用三次的人；以及IB-YY组，即在此项目前后每周至少使用三次牙间隙刷的人。由于每周牙间隙刷牙的次数，IB-YY组与其他两组在基线时存在显著差异。在6个月的随访时，每周牙间隙刷牙的次数导致IB-NN组与其他两组之间存在显著差异。在每三周进行一次牙间隙刷牙3个月和6个月后，依从性好的参与者的BOFIB指数低于不依从的参与者。
