Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the dental biofilm index using quantitative light induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D, All in One Bio Co., Seoul, Korea) with the dental biofilm test using a dye in the existing clinical setting and use it as a basis for improving the clinical utility and efficiency of dental biofilm management.
Methods: The correlation between total and anterior dental plaque index using dye and the QLF-D Simple Plaque Score (SPS) calculated using analysis software was analyzed for 63 adult males and females who agreed to participate in the study.
Results: There was a difference between the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) index using staining and the SPS index using QLF-D (p<0.01), but as a result of the evaluation of the same site, it was confirmed that there was a positive correlation that the higher the PCR index, the higher the SPS index (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Both the dental plaque index using QLF-D and the PCR index using the staining method are useful in evaluating the dental plaque index. This is considered presumed to be necessary.
