They were randomly allocated into three groups: no interdental cleaning (NIC) group, which did not use any interdental cleaning device; dental floss (DF) group, individuals who used unwaxed dental floss without impregnation; and dental floss+CHX (DF\u2009+\u2009CHX) group, those who used the same dental floss, but with 2% CHX digluconate impregnation. A manual toothbrush and fluoride dentifrice were provided for all groups. Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) and Quigley\u2010Hein modified by Turesky plaque index (PI) were assessed by the same trained and calibrated examiner. Individuals were evaluated after 4\u2010 and 6\u2010week. Taste preference was also evaluated at 6\u2010week of follow\u2010up.
