Flossing and the Art of Scientific Investigation
In August, a widely read Associated Press report suggested that, contrary to the advice of dentists everywhere, flossing didn’t necessarily foster good oral health. The report looked at 25 studies that had generally compared toothbrushing and flossing with toothbrushing alone and concluded that the evidence for the benefits of flossing was weak.
…Dentists know from a range of evidence, including clinical experience, that interdental cleaning is critical to oral health and that flossing, properly done, works. Yet the notion has taken hold that such expertise is fatally subjective and that only randomized controlled trials provide real knowledge.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Exquisite Flossing on this antique corset. Nothing beats primary resources. This one is labeled R&G dowager model circa 1875. Geeking out on flossing details. #periodcorsets #periodcorsetsresearch #corsetflossing #bespokecorsetry #periodcorsetsindetail purchased from @karenaugusta

C. 1895
This busk front corset is typical of the beautifully designed styles of this period. Made from black lasting lined with white twill it features flexible corded hips and an intricate boning system involving forty two cane strips and four tempered steels down the back lacing. The corset is decorated with sky blue feather stitching. The cane boning allowed decorative stitching to be accomplished by the recently invented embroidery machine, and a skilled operative could safely pierce the cane strips without needle damage. The corset has a waist measurement of 22".
