Control of bacterial plaque on tooth surfaces is the most important method of controlling dental disease. The patient's ability to achieve good plaque control is of utmost importance in preventing the occurrence of periodontal disease and in maintaining periodontal health. The search for better methods that enable easier and more effective plaque control has led to the development of the "chewing wheel." A clinical trial was conducted to compare the plaque-removing efficiency of the chewing wheel to that of a manual toothbrush. The tested device removed 18% to 37% of the accumulated dental deposits. In spite of its limited efficiency, the wheel can be used as part of an oral hygiene program for individuals with perceptomotor dysfunctions.
控制牙面细菌菌斑是控制牙病的最重要方法。患者实现良好菌斑控制的能力对于预防牙周疾病的发生和维持牙周健康至关重要。对能实现更简便、更有效菌斑控制的更好方法的探索促使了“咀嚼轮”的研发。开展了一项临床试验，以比较咀嚼轮与手动牙刷清除菌斑的效率。受试装置清除了18%至37%的累积牙菌斑。尽管其效率有限，但该咀嚼轮可作为患有感知运动功能障碍个体口腔卫生计划的一部分使用。
