To investigate inhibitory effect for oral bacterial proliferation, we divided 12 dogs into 3 groups; scaling alone (C; control group), brushing (B) and application of toothpaste (P). Before scaling (Pre) and at 0 to 8 weeks after scaling (0-8 w), we collected oral bacteria from the dental surface every week and counted them using a bacterial counter. The results demonstrated a significant reduc...

We report a 41-year-old woman with complex reflex epilepsy in which seizures were induced exclusively by the act of tooth brushing. All the attacks occurred with a specific sensation of sexual arousal and orgasm-like euphoria that were followed by a period of impairment of consciousness. Ictal EEG demonstrated two events of epileptic seizure that were provoked after tooth brushing for 38 and 14...

Purpose. The objective of this study was to assess the impact beverages and tooth brushing on microhardness different restorative materials. Materials-methods. Disk-shaped samples compomer (Dyract XP), glass ionomer cement (GIC) (Ionofil Molar AC), composite resin (Filtek Z250) were prepared. randomly allocated four groups conditioned in various (cheery juice, cola, chocolate milk, distilled wa...

Brushing teeth is very influential in the process of child development. Dental health problems children that arise are damage to primary teeth, dental caries early childhood, deyaced under 6 years age. Tooth brushing education important for childhood as an effort prevent problems. Storytelling was chosen educational method because it interesting and easily accepted by childhood. To describe app...

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of a new multi-directional power toothbrush in reducing plaque when compared to a standard manual toothbrush control in a single brushing design. Methods: This was a randomized, replicate use, single-brushing, two-treatment, double blinded crossover clinical trial at a single center. Qualified subjects entered an acclimation phase, after which they were r...

INTRODUCTION Limited quantitative information is available on dermal exposure to chemicals during various industrial activities. Therefore, within the scope of the EU-funded RISKOFDERM project, potential dermal exposure was measured during three different tasks: filling, loading and brushing. DEGBE (2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethanol) was used as a 'marker' substance to determine dermal exposure to the ...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this randomized, single use, single blind, single center, 4-group parallel clinical study was to evaluate the plaque removal efficacy of three power toothbrushes and a manual toothbrush. METHODS One hundred forty-four (144) subjects completed the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of four toothbrush groups: Sonicare Elite, Oral-B Sonic Complete, Waterp...

Cravy Brush is an interactive toothbrush attachment that helps young children (3-8 years old) develop a daily habit of brushing teeth. The attachment displays an interactive game that provides real-time visual and auditory feedback. In addition to feedback, Cravy Brush also provides virtual rewards when children brush properly. Alarm feature calls for children to brush their teeth twice a day a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the wear of four nanofilled resin composites using simulated toothbrushing for 50,000 cycles with calcium carbonate slurry. The depth of abrasion and roughness (Ra) were measured after each 10,000 brushing cycle. The surface texture of the worn samples was examined by SEM.The wear depths of the nanofill Filtek Supreme XT (FIL), the nanohybrides Grandio (...
