At baseline, the median of GBI was 26.45% (range 14.49–31.55). After 28 days of interdental cleaning with the oral irrigator, GBI was 12.96% (7.14–24.31) and statistically significantly higher compared to 8.33% (5.84–15.33) after interdental cleaning with dental floss (Subgroup analysis revealed that unlike the plaque index, gingival bleeding was statistically significantly different not only at marginal sites but also at approximal sites (see Fig. Gingival bleeding index after 28 days of home-use of an oral irrigator in comparison to dental floss. Gingival bleeding index was calculated dichotomously as percentage of bleeding sites to measured sites of
