Episode Summary
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Today we'll be exploring exciting new clinical data* on adjunctive oral hygiene regimens and recommendations for dental professionals looking to apply the data to their patient care. Our guest is Dr. Juan Yepes, an associate professor in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Indiana University School of Dentistry and an attending at Riley Children Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is board-certified by the American Boards of Pediatric Dentistry, Oral Medicine, and Dental Public Health.
* In the study discussed, LISTERINE® Antiseptic was found to be 4.6 times more effective than floss for sustained supragingival biofilm reduction (*Flossing by a dental hygienist. Sustained supragingival plaque reduction after a prophylaxis. Not a replacement for brushing or flossing)
