“…In the present study, instant plaque reductions observed without dentifrice ranged between 52% and 57%. These results are not surprising because studies evaluating the plaque removal capacity of electric versus manual toothbrushing have reported already that brushing without dentifrice can be very effective 21,23‐25 . Furthermore, the present study found no differences between brushing procedures in terms of plaque reduction for the groups using dentifrices B and C. Interestingly, brushing with dentifrice A resulted in less plaque removal than brushing without this product.…”

“…Our results are in accordance with older studies,(Ramsey et al .,[17], Vander Weijden et al .,[18], Claydon et al .,[1920]), which showed the inability of the mouth wash to reach the lingual surfaces. However, in Group I, stained plaque on the lingual surfaces were greater than that on the vestibular surfaces.…”

Objectives:This study compared the intraoral distribution of 0.1% chlorhexidine with alcohol (CHX+Alc) and 0.2% chlorhexidine without alcohol (CHX-Alc) with shorter rinsing times (10s,20s,30s) following a 72h non brushing period.Materials and Methods:This study was designed as a single blind, randomized two group parallel experiment with a total of 30(15male,15 female) dental students. To disclose the plaque, erythrosine-containing disclosing agent was added to both the mouthrinses. Group I (0.1% CHX+Alc) & Group II (0.2% CHX-Alc) were asked to rinse with respective mouthrinse for cumulative periods of 10,20 and 30s, following which plaque was scored.Results:In Group I, comparison between 10&20, 10&30s was statistically significant but no significance was observed between 20&30s, whereas in Group II, comparison between all the time points were statistically significant. On comparison of plaque scores, plaque scores of both the groups at 10 & 30s sec, show no statistical significance but at 20 seconds was significant (P<0.001). The mean plaque scores of lingual surfaces were lesser in group II whereas in group I lingual surfaces recorded more plaque than the vestibular surfaces.Conclusions:Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that rinsing for 30 seconds with 0.2% CHX-Alc (Rexidin) is enough for intraoral spread of the mouthrinse whereas rinsing with 0.1% CHX+Alc(Eludril) for achieves the same in 20 seconds, for effective plaque inhibition, both of which will have a positive influence on patient compliance.

“…In the present study, plaque reductions observed by brushing with or without a dentifrice were ‐0% and 56%, respectively. The fact that manual toothbrushing without a dentifrice can remove substantial amounts of plaque was already known from studies 6,19,21,22 evaluating the plaque‐removal capacity of electric versus manual toothbrushing. Furthermore, the outcomes from the present study are in line with the observations of a previous split‐mouth study, 12 in which the additional effect of three commercially available dentifrices on the instant efficacy of manual toothbrushing was evaluated.…”
