Abstract
It is vitally crucial for dentists to increase the quality of personal hygiene among their patients because oral hygiene is the key method of initial preventive action against oral diseases.
Our aim is to increase the quality of personal oral hygiene among students of dentistry. We defned the effciency of plaque removal by sonic powered toothbrushes (SPT – the observation groups) and manual toothbrushes (MT – the control group) with OHI-S – oral hygiene index simplifed and Loe-Silness Gingival index. Based on comparison of the hygiene index results we evaluated the dynamics digital changes before, during and after the examination.
Results of the study. The result of the observation group (Sonic Powered Toothbrush – SPT) is 32.4% higher in comparison with MT based on Loe-Silness Gingival index. The cleaning effciency of SPT by the values of OHI-S was 88.01 ± 0.24%; MT – 25.40 ±0.13%. This indicated that plaque removal was 62.7% more effcient among the participants using SPT.
Findings. The participants of the experiment were in absolutely similar terms, used the same toothpaste; however SPT decreased plaque more effectively than MT in everyday use in studies lasting up to three months.
