“…Many studies reported the need for high-quality daily hygiene (7,8) and, undoubtedly, the level of oral hygiene depends on brushing teeth (9). The most affordable and effective means for cleaning teeth from microbial biofilm is a toothbrush (10). Most of the studies recommended changing the toothbrush every 3-4 months (10,11).…”

“…The results obtained on the hygienic knowledge and skills of school children in oral hygiene indicate an insufficient level of hygienic education of school children, which requires the introduction of programs for the prevention of dental diseases among school-age children and regular sanitary and educational activities in schools that contribute to reducing the number of initial carious lesions and improving the level of oral hygiene in children. It is important to note that in the hygienic education of school-age children, more attention should be paid to the formation of proper dental cleaning techniques (10,14,15). The use of the most modern and traditional methods of oral hygiene in the comprehensive prevention of caries in its initial manifestations gives hope to patients to provide effective protection of the hard tissues of the tooth, periodontal and oral mucosa (16).…”

Introduction and Aim: Oral health is a key indicator of overall health, well-being, and quality of life, which covers a number of diseases and conditions, including dental caries, periodontal disease, and tooth loss. This study evaluated the hygienic knowledge and skills of school children in oral hygiene in Kyrgyzstan. Methods: 450 school children, including 231 boys and 219 girls aged 6–11 years from school No. 4 (Bishkek – Urban city) and school No. 1 (Lebedinovka, Chui – Rural village) were included. The obtained data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Two levels of probability p < 0.05, p < 0.001, and p<0.01 were calculated. Results: In a comparative analysis between schools, it was found that at school No. 4, school children are significantly more likely to brush their teeth twice a day (55.1 ± 3.3), and school children at school No. 1 once a day (52.0 ± 3.3), p>0.05. In general, at school No. 4, more attention is paid to oral care (80.4 ± 2.6) than at school No. 1 (52.0 ± 3.3), p<0.001. Conclusion: It is necessary to conduct regular sanitary and educational activities among school children to improve the level of oral hygiene in children.

“…11 Electric toothbrushes have demonstrated superior plaque removal efficacy to that of manual brushes in numerous studies of adults 13,14 and in a more limited number of paediatric studies. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] These include studies of brushes with oscillating-rotating (O-R) movement, [15][16][17]21 which, in comparison with other electric toothbrushes, reduce more gingivitis and more plaque in adults. 22,23 One recent study showed plaque removal advantages for an O-R toothbrush among a cohort of preschool-age (3- to 6-year-old) children with primary dentition and a 7- to 9-year-old cohort with mixed dentition.…”

BackgroundFew extended studies have explored oscillating–rotating (O–R) toothbrush efficacy in young children.AimTo compare the efficacy between O–R and manual toothbrushes in reducing plaque and gingivitis after 4 weeks in children.DesignThis was a randomized, parallel‐group, examiner‐blind, clinical trial. In two 50‐subject cohorts (3–6 years, primary dentition, parental brushing; 7–10 years, mixed dentition, self‐brushing), subjects used Oral‐B Kids O–R toothbrush per manufacturer's instructions or Paro Junior manual toothbrush in a customary manner. Plaque and Modified Gingival Index (MGI; primary variable) scores were assessed at baseline and Week 4 for all subjects and within each age group.ResultsBoth toothbrushes significantly reduced whole mouth and posterior plaque and MGI versus baseline (p < .001). Combined groups: O–R showed greater plaque and MGI reductions versus manual for all measures (p ≤ .003). Three‐ to 6‐year‐olds: O–R demonstrated significantly (p < .032) greater whole‐mouth (55.7%) and posterior (34.3%) plaque reductions at Week 4 versus manual. Seven‐ to 10‐year‐olds: O–R showed significantly (p < .001) greater whole‐mouth (94.5%) and posterior (108.4%) plaque reductions and greater (p ≤ .016) whole‐mouth (14.1%) and posterior (18.8%) MGI reductions versus manual. There were no adverse events.ConclusionThe O–R toothbrush, used per manufacturer's instructions, reduced plaque and gingivitis better than a manual toothbrush used in a customary manner among children.

ObjectivesChildren, especially the mentally disabled, are generally incapable of obtaining adequate oral hygiene levels by manual brushing due to their lack of knowledge about oral hygiene and their limited motor skills. In order to handle those limited skills, different designs of manual and electric toothbrushes are developed and put on markets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of pulsating toothbrushes with easy‐to‐use properties, against conventional toothbrushes and to analyze their benefits on mentally disabled pediatric patients.MethodsThirty‐one healthy and 31 mentally disabled children (aged between 7 and 12) participated in this study. The effectiveness of three different toothbrushes (Oral‐B Pulsar, Colgate 360° Micro Sonic Power, Oral‐B Stages 3) was investigated with a cross‐over study design. DMFT, dft, modified sulcus bleeding index (MOD‐SBI), approximal plaque index (API) and Green and Vermillion simplified oral hygiene index (G&V OHI‐S) measurements are performed to evaluate the oral hygiene status.ResultsIn the mentally disabled group the manual toothbrush for MOD‐SBI, and Colgate 360° Micro Sonic Power for API showed the best results respectively.ConclusionThe ability of tooth brushing was improved both in healthy and in disabled children during this 5 months study. Unfortunately, it was not obvious in disabled children. Persevering training for tooth brushing might be the most important regardless of the kind of toothbrush.
