Maintenance of good oral hygiene is important for patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a manual orthodontic toothbrush, powered toothbrush with oscillating head and sonic toothbrush in controlling plaque, gingivitis and interdental bleeding in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, and to compare their relative efficacy.
Sixty subjects, who were to receive orthodontic treatment with both upper and lower fixed appliances, were randomly divided into three study groups, with 20 patients in each group. Groups I to III were given manual orthodontic, powered and sonic toothbrushes, respectively. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and interdental bleeding index were scored to assess the level of plaque accumulation, gingival health and interdental bleeding at baseline; 4 and 8 weeks recall visits after fixed appliance bonding. Paired t-tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were used for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
This study showed that a significant reduction in all the three indices scores was found from baseline to 4 and 8 weeks in group III. On intergroup comparison, no statistically significant differences were detected between the three groups for any of the parameters assessed.
On intragroup comparison, sonic brushes performed superiorly in reducing gingivitis, plaque and interdental bleeding as compared to the manual orthodontic and powered brushes. On intergroup comparison, the relative comparative effectiveness was found to be similar for all the three brushes. How to cite this article: Sharma R, Trehan M, Sharma S, Jharwal V, Rathore N.

保持良好的口腔卫生对于接受固定正畸治疗的患者很重要。
本研究的目的是评估手动正畸牙刷、振动头电动牙刷和声波牙刷在控制接受固定正畸治疗患者的牙菌斑、牙龈炎和牙间出血方面的有效性,并比较它们的相对疗效。
60名即将接受上下固定矫治器正畸治疗的受试者被随机分为三个研究组,每组20名患者。第一组至第三组分别给予手动正畸牙刷、电动牙刷和声波牙刷。在基线时、固定矫治器粘结后4周和8周复诊时,对菌斑指数(PI)、牙龈指数(GI)和牙间出血指数进行评分,以评估牙菌斑堆积水平、牙龈健康状况和牙间出血情况。采用配对t检验和单因素方差分析(ANOVA)进行组内和组间比较。统计学显著性水平设定为p < 0.05。
本研究表明,第三组从基线到4周和8周时,所有三项指数评分均显著降低。组间比较时,评估的任何参数在三组之间均未检测到统计学显著差异。
组内比较时,与手动正畸牙刷和电动牙刷相比,声波牙刷在减少牙龈炎、牙菌斑和牙间出血方面表现更优。组间比较时,发现所有三种牙刷的相对比较有效性相似。如何引用本文:Sharma R, Trehan M, Sharma S, Jharwal V, Rathore N. 手动正畸、电动和声波牙刷对固定正畸患者口腔卫生有效性的比较。《国际临床儿科牙科学杂志》2015;8(3):181 - 189。
