Comparison of Powered and Manual Toothbrushes in Removal of Plaque
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of manual and powered toothbrushes in 70 patients between 19 and 44 years of age who reported with mild gingivitis to AFID. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 35 each. Group A patients were selected for electronic powered tooth brushes, while group B patients were selected for manual brushes. At baseline, after one and 3 months, plaque was rated using Silness-Löe plaque index. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 12. Both brushes significantly reduced the plaque accumulation, though to different degrees. A lower plaque score (score 0 and 1) was obtained at three months in 88.5% patients using powered brushing and in 77.1% patients using manual brushing. Powered brushing showed lower plaque score in 11.4% more patients than the manual brushing after three months of followup.
