Abstract

AIM AND OBJECTIVE

To compare dental plaque removal efficacy with a manual and powered toothbrush in 10-14 years old visually and auditory impaired children.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The proposed study was a randomized controlled study. The ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethical board. The written informed consent for the study was taken from the parents. The 60 participants were categorized into group I: visually impaired (30) and group II: speech and hearing impaired (30) which were again divided into I1 (manual toothbrush) and I2 (powered toothbrush); II1 (manual toothbrush) and II2 (powered toothbrush), respectively. The baseline score was recorded using Turesky-Gilmor-Glickman Modification of The Quigley-Hein plaque Index. The oral prophylaxis was performed and then randomization of the toothbrush group was done with concealed allocation method. The plaque-removal efficacy was evaluated at the end of the 15 days in the visually and hearing-impaired children.

RESULTS

The mean score of dental plaque at baseline was 1.44 for the manual toothbrush group and 1.65 for the powered toothbrush group in visually impaired children, respectively. In blind children with a manual toothbrush, the mean score difference was 0.14 while the powered toothbrush showed the mean score difference of 0.30 which is significant. The mean score of dental plaque at baseline was 1.74 for the manual toothbrush group and 1.80 for the powered toothbrush group in auditory impaired children. In auditory impaired children with manual toothbrushes, the mean score difference was 0.15 while the powered toothbrush showed the mean score of 0.32 which was significant.

CONCLUSION

Dental plaque reduction was significantly better with the powered toothbrush as compared to a manual toothbrush in visually and auditory impaired children.

摘要

目的

比较手动牙刷和电动牙刷对10至14岁视力和听力受损儿童牙菌斑的清除效果。

材料与方法

本研究为随机对照研究。已获得机构伦理委员会的伦理批准。已征得家长对本研究的书面知情同意。60名参与者被分为两组：第一组为视力受损儿童（30名），第二组为言语和听力受损儿童（30名），每组又分别分为I1（手动牙刷组）和I2（电动牙刷组）；II1（手动牙刷组）和II2（电动牙刷组）。使用Turesky - Gilmor - Glickman改良的Quigley - Hein菌斑指数记录基线分数。进行口腔预防措施后，采用隐蔽分配法对牙刷组进行随机分组。在视力和听力受损儿童中，于15天结束时评估牙菌斑清除效果。

结果

在视力受损儿童中，手动牙刷组基线时牙菌斑平均评分为1.44，电动牙刷组为1.65。在使用手动牙刷的失明儿童中，平均评分差异为0.14，而电动牙刷的平均评分差异为0.30，具有显著性。在听力受损儿童中，手动牙刷组基线时牙菌斑平均评分为1.74，电动牙刷组为1.80。在使用手动牙刷的听力受损儿童中，平均评分差异为0.15，而电动牙刷的平均评分为0.32，具有显著性。
