2) Patients who have at least one Class III furcation involvement (a lesion where a periodontal probe passes completely through the furcation) with a tooth mobility of degree 2 or less.
3) Patients with bleeding on probing (BOP) at the target furcation involvement site.
4) Patients who have not performed self-care using an interdental brush and dental floss at the target furcation involvement site for 3 months prior to and up to the time of obtaining informed consent.
5) Patients who have received a sufficient explanation of the purpose and details of the study, have fully understood them, have voluntarily decided to participate, and have provided written informed consent.
1) Patients currently receiving treatment for oral diseases, including periodontal disease (e.g., scaling, root planing, or surgical treatment). In addition, patients currently receiving care at any dental clinic other than the study site (Takai Dental Clinic).
2) Patients with a past or current history of psychiatric disorders.
3) Patients who have used oral antibiotics within 3 months prior to the start of the study. In addition, patients who have used bactericidal/antibacterial mouthwashes or oral anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., NSAIDs) within 1 month prior to the start of the study.
4) Patients who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or who plan to become pregnant during the study period.

9) Patients with an extremely irregular diet, or those with irregular daily rhythms, such as shift workers or night-shift workers.
10) Patients currently participating in another clinical trial, those within 4 weeks of completing another clinical trial, or those planning to participate in another clinical trial after consenting to this study.
11) Other patients deemed inappropriate for the study by the Principal Investigator (e.g., patients who have difficulty using an interdental brush due to hand tremors, or patients for whom the insertion of an interdental brush is anatomically impossible).
