Sažetak
Yarns used for dental health preservation, widely known under the term “dental floss”, are the most recommended interproximal plaque remover. The research presented in this paper is a part of comprehensive study and presents its segment - insight into the attitude of consumers towards flossing and their preferences for purchase, as well as experimental measurements of floss' properties. The results of survey among consumers indicated that advertising plays an important role in convincing consumers to choose certain product (50%). It is followed by positive experience, price, brand and floss properties (construction, finishing, raw material and tensile properties). From the comparison of different flosses, it was shown that differences within the values of breaking force and elongation may be more than 20%. The same stands for the differences in diameter. Finally, the measurements indicated that, regardless the high price range, some flosses have lower quality that may directly affect the flossing efficiency.
