Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the contamination levels of interdental brush and dental floss and also to investigate the viable bacteria on interdental brushes after 24 hours. Material and Methods: Two separate interdental spaces were chosen from 10 patients with chronic periodontitis for the contamination level investigation and five patients for bacterial persistency. After cleaning, interdental brush and dental floss were cut from surfaces that contact the interdental sulcus and were evaluated in terms of total, facultative, obligatory and black pigmented anaerobic bacteria counts. Results: There was no difference between interdental brush and dental floss regarding to the numbers of bacteria. Prevotella intermedia sensu lato was detected from 75% of the brushes after 24 h, which black pigmented anaerobic rods were detected in subgingival plaque samples (n=4) taken from the same regions. Conclusion: In this research, interdental brush and dental floss are contaminated by subgingival microbiota at similar levels and oral bacteria remained on interdental brushes for 24 h. For this reason both cleaning tools can act as a risk factor about spreading bacteria inside the oral cavity.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Arayüz fırçası ve diş ipinin subgingival plak bakterileri ile kontaminasyon düzeylerinin karşılaştırılması ve arayüz fırçasının kullanıldıktan 24 saat sonra üzerindeki canlı bakteri varlığının incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kontaminasyon düzeylerinin incelenmesi için 10, bakteri kalıcılığının incelenmesi için beş kronik periodontitisli hastanın iki ayrı arayüzü aynı marka arayüz fırçası ve diş ipi ile temizlendi ve subgingival plak örnekleri alındı. Araçların ara yüze temas eden kısımları kesilerek total, fakültatif anaerop, zorunlu anaerop ve siyah pigmentli anaerop bakteri sayıları yönünden incelendi. Bulgular: Arayüz fırçası ve diş ipi arasında incelenen bakteri sayıları yönünden anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı. Subgingival plak örneklerinde siyah pigmentli anaerop gram negatif çomakların saptandığı bölgelerde (n=4) kullanılan arayüz fırçalarının %75'inde (n=3) 24 saat sonra Prevotella intermedia sensu lato saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada arayüz fırçası ve diş ipi subgingival mikrobiyota ile benzer düzeyde konta-mine olmuş; arayüz fırçası üzerinde anaerop ağız bakterilerinin 24 saat oda ısısında canlı kalabildiği gösterilmiştir. Bu nedenle her iki temizleme aracının bakterilerin ağız içine yayılmasında risk faktörü olarak rol oynayabilecekleri düşünülmelidir.
