Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of tooth brushing training methods on orthodontic patients and to determine the most effective oral hygiene methods for individuals receiving orthodontic treatment
Detailed Description:
Because orthodontic appliances cause food retention a good level of oral hygiene is needed to maintain dental health Inadequate tooth brushing can lead to gingival diseases on periodontal tissue cavities and white lesions on tooth enamel Antimicrobial agents and fluoride products are useful but it cannot replace the mechanical removal of plaque Because the mechanical plaque control is still considered the most important oral hygiene tool during orthodontic treatment
In the literature it has been reported that the motivation to maintain oral hygiene during the orthodontic fixed treatment phase has a very positive effect on periodontal health and in the same studies plaque index scores increased over time in control groups that were not given repeated oral treatment If patients are not given repeated and regular oral hygiene motivation in every session in the clinical routine gum health may deteriorate More invasive methods may be required to correct this condition Because poor oral hygiene if left unchecked can compromise the outcome of orthodontic treatment
When performing manual tooth brushing the modified Bass technique MBT is often recommended to provide optimum plaque reduction by protecting oral tissues from mechanical irritation The problem with this brushing technique is that it consists of a complex sequence of movements First of all the toothbrush should be positioned at a 45 angle to the gingival edge Secondly the brush should be moved back and forth with small horizontal vibrations Thirdly debris must be removed by sweeping the brush towards the occlusal face in a vertical motion upward in the lower jaw downwards in the upper jaw This sequence of movements requires dexterity and attention to technique Brushing demonstration techniques or sequences have been developed through a brochure a model or video
