Abstract

Background: The studyaimed to compare the plaque removal efficacy of a novel- charcoal-based and a non-charcoal-based manual toothbrush of standardised toothbrush design. Materials And Methods: Sixteen undergraduate students of Sri Ramakrishna Dental College and hospital, Coimbatore, were included in this clinical study. This is a randomised clinical trial with a split-mouth design in which the quadrants that undergo tooth brushing using charcoal-based (test) and non-charcoal-based (control) toothbrushes are randomly selected by tossing a coin. The subjects were asked to refrain from all kinds of oral hygiene practices for 48 hours, following which pre-brushing and post-brushing plaque scores were evaluated by Turesky Gilmore modification of Quigley-Hein plaque index using a two-tone disclosing solution. Tooth brushing was performed by the examiner for a standard time (45sec/quadrant) using the Modified Bass brushing technique with fluoridated toothpaste. Results: The study's results showed no statistical significance between the values. However, the correlation between the total plaque scores and the assigned toothbrushes was also analysed, and a positive correlation was observed between the total plaque score and the test toothbrush. Conclusion: The plaque removal efficacy of charcoal bristled manual toothbrushes with 0.01mm diameter was found to be more or less the same compared with the similar non-charcoal-based counterpoint (1.89,1.39) respectively. Key-words: Charcoal-based toothbrush, Modified Bass brushing technique
木炭基和非木炭基用手动牙刷去除牙菌斑效果的比较:临床研究
背景:本研究旨在比较标准化设计的新型炭基手动牙刷和非炭基手动牙刷的牙菌斑清除效果。材料与方法:选取哥印拜陀室利罗摩克里希纳牙科学院及医院的16名本科生进行临床研究。这是一项随机临床试验,采用开口设计,通过投掷硬币随机选择使用炭基牙刷(测试)和非炭基牙刷(对照)刷牙的象限。受试者被要求在48小时内停止各种口腔卫生习惯,然后使用双色披露液对刷前和刷后的牙菌斑评分进行评定。由检查者使用改良Bass刷牙技术和含氟牙膏进行标准时间(45秒/象限)的刷牙。结果:本研究结果无统计学意义。然而,我们也分析了菌斑总分与指定牙刷之间的相关性,发现菌斑总分与测试牙刷之间呈正相关。结论:直径0.01mm的炭刷与非炭刷的牙菌斑清除效果基本相同,分别为1.89、1.39。关键词:炭基牙刷;改良巴斯刷法
