Efficacy of removal of sucrose-supplemented interproximal plaque by electric toothbrushes in an in vitro model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electric toothbrushes were evaluated using a model of plaque removal by fluid shear forces. Sucrose supplementation during plaque development did not affect the removal of bacteria from biofilm exposed to low-energy shear but did increase their resistance to high-energy shear. The toothbrush supplying high-energy shear forces removed significantly more viable bacteria.

متن کاملRefinement of the Modified Navy Plaque Index to increase plaque scoring efficiency in gumline and interproximal tooth areas.
To improve the assessment of plaque present on teeth, a new index, based on the original Modified Navy Plaque Index, has been developed. The primary modifications to the original Modified Navy Plaque Index were: (1) extending areas F (distal) and D (mesial) into the region just below the interproximal contact point, and (2) extending areas C and A so as to increase the gumline (or marginal ging...
