BACKGROUND
Dental plaque is a common issue that can be effectively managed with proper oral hygiene practices and regular oral health care. The aim of this crossover study was to assess dental plaque using different methods (digital and clinical plaque scores) and evaluate the effectiveness of toothbrushing with a triple-headed manual toothbrush compared to a single-headed manual toothbrush in removing dental plaque.
METHODS
Plaque staining was performed to assess dental plaque amounts before and after brushing with the triple-headed (test) and single-headed (control) manual toothbrush in 21 study participants after plaque was allowed to accumulate for 48 hours. Dental plaque was scored both clinically as well as digitally.
RESULTS
Toothbrushing with a manual single-headed toothbrush and a triple-headed toothbrush was found to be equally effective when comparing plaque removal ability. Brushing time was shorter when using a triple-headed toothbrush, compared to a single-headed toothbrush.
CONCLUSION
The triple-headed manual toothbrush may be a good alternative to the single-headed manual toothbrush for certain patient groups.
背景
牙菌斑是一种常见问题，可以通过适当的口腔卫生习惯和定期的口腔保健来有效管理。本交叉研究的目的是使用不同方法（数字和临床菌斑评分）评估牙菌斑，并评估三头手动牙刷相对于单头手动牙刷在去除牙菌斑方面的效果。
方法
在允许牙菌斑积累 48 小时后，在 21 名研究参与者中使用三头（试验）和单头（对照）手动牙刷刷牙前后进行菌斑染色，以评估牙菌斑的数量。对牙菌斑进行临床和数字评分。
结果
比较去除牙菌斑的能力，使用手动单头牙刷和三头牙刷刷牙的效果相当。与单头牙刷相比，使用三头牙刷刷牙的时间更短。
结论
对于某些患者群体，三头手动牙刷可能是单头手动牙刷的良好替代品。
