Abstract
Objective: This study excluding the use of auxiliary oral products such as dental floss and interdental toothbrushes, which are effective in managing the dental plaque between teeth, a manual toothbrush and a sonic vibrating toothbrush was used for the experimental group to clinically compare the effectiveness of removing plaque from the teeth to help in choosing toothbrushes.
Methods: A total of 60 volunteers with early gingivitis in their 30s or older who voluntarily agreed to this study were included. In the oral examination, the Simple Patient Hygiene Performance (S-PHP) index, gingivitis index, and halitosis were measured, and the values were recorded before the experiment, 1st week of the experiment, 2nd week of the experiment, and 4th week of the experiment.
Results: It was found that there was an interaction effect between the two groups according to the period of toothbrush use. It was confirmed that the period of toothbrush use had an effect on the S-PHP index . The gingivitis index of the group using the toothbrush of the experimental group was found to decrease statistically significantly over the period of toothbrush use. An interaction effect between the two groups according to the period of toothbrush use.
Conclusion: The S-PHP index of the group using the experimental group toothbrush showed a statistically significant decrease over the period of toothbrush use (p<0.001). As a result of analyzing the change in the gingivitis index, it was found that the gingivitis index of the group using the experimental group toothbrush decreased statistically. The concentration of halitosis in the group using the toothbrush of the experimental group was found to decrease statistically significantly over the period of toothbrush use (p<0.001).
