Objective: To analyze the assessment of knowledge of dental floss use and oral health. Method: Descriptive documentary, population of 15 scientific articles published in PubMed. Conclusion: The assessment of knowledge and use of dental floss reveals a significant gap in the practice of this essential oral hygiene technique. Despite its demonstrated positive impact on the prevention of periodontal diseases and interdental caries, many individuals do not use it adequately due to lack of information, skills, and misperception of its necessity.
