Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to compare how a novel, automated mouthpiece-based toothbrushing device removes dental plaque compared to a manual toothbrush.
Detailed Description:
Plaque is one of the main etiological factors in dental decay and the principal etiological factor for periodontal diseases. Although toothbrushes have greatly evolved, dexterity is still the key component to an efficient cleaning routine. The primary goal is to examine 60 participants to determine the efficacy of a new powered teeth cleaning device designed to bypass the variability of individual dexterity compared with manual toothbrushing.
This is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Sixty pediatric patients will be recruited for the study and randomized into treatment and control groups, subdivided into primary (20), mixed (20), and permanent dentition (20). Participants will be asked to abstain from brushing, flossing, gum or mouthwash use for 24 hours prior to the study visit. Plaque will be assessed using the Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index before and after a one-time brushing with the assigned study device. A soft tissue assessment will be conducted and intraoral photos taken pre- and post-brushing.
