what a ridiculous experiment! of course THOROUGH cleaning will be better than NEVER cleaning!
i'd expect this kind of experiment from a dental floss manufacturer.
take a set of twins, one brushes and flosses daily, and gets regular check-ups.
the other one NEVER brushes.
after ten years, the twin with good dental hygiene has a perfect teeth, while
the one who never cleans his teeth no longer has teeth.
wow! a great advertisement to........buy....more.....floss!
....forgetting there's no way to know (from this experiment) whether
floss has any effect at all, or perhaps even negative effects.
