Abstract

Orthodontic treatment is highly popular for restoring functional and facial esthetics in juveniles and adults. However, the prevalence of biofilm-related complications remains high. The objectives of this review are to 1) identify which of the two professional prophylaxis systems analyzed, rubber cup polishing (RCP) and air-powder polishing (APP), is the most effective in removing bacterial biofilm in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, and 2) the comfort expressed by the patient and any damage caused to the orthodontic device. The search yielded 23 scientific articles, 14 of which were excluded, and 6 met the inclusion criteria. From the studies analyzed, it is, therefore, possible to state that the APP technique is more effective than the RCP technique in removing dental plaque, and treatment is less time-consuming and safer concerning orthodontic devices, as none of the scientific articles examined did APP cause any damage to the orthodontic device or debonding of the brackets.

固定正畸治疗患者细菌生物膜的去除：文献综述

正畸治疗在青少年和成年人中非常流行，用于恢复功能和面部美学。然而，生物膜相关并发症的发生率仍然很高。本综述的目的是：1）确定所分析的两种专业预防系统，橡胶杯抛光（RCP）和空气粉末抛光（APP）中哪一种在去除接受固定正畸治疗的患者的细菌生物膜方面最有效，以及2）患者表现出的舒适感和对正畸装置造成的任何损伤。检索得到23篇科学文章，其中14篇被排除在外，6篇符合入选标准。因此，从所分析的研究中可以看出，APP技术在去除牙菌斑方面比RCP技术更有效，而且正畸设备的治疗耗时更少，也更安全，因为在所检查的科学文章中，APP没有对正畸设备造成任何损坏或托槽脱粘。
