The main problem with a lot of studies of oral hygiene is that peoples oral hygiene technique is often really bad/variable.

Like, people who floss often floss with poor technique so it is hard to study the benefits of flossing vs not flossing.

Peoplevs toothbrushing technique is all over the place so hard to study the benefits of electric tooth brush vs manual.

Etc, etc.

It seems to me like this is a more important issue than most people realize. Most things in life come down to the small details of execution, and behaviors like oral hygiene are even harder to teach and monitor.
