Treatment of fixed orthodontic is treatment aimed to fix malocclusion and increase awareness of dental care, mastication function, and esthetic. Aims: This research is to acknowledge the effect of orthodontic toothbrush, soft and flat toothbrush and zigzag from toothbrush to decrease index plaks for the fixed orthodontic user. Methods: Quasi-experimental research design and data gathering of primary, collected plaque index examination, before and after brushing with an orthodontic toothbrush, soft and flat toothbrush, and zigzag form toothbrush, using diagnose set with tooth examination formatresearch sample from six students from the Department of Dental Nursing of Poltekkes Kemenkes Jambi. Sample gathered with purposive sampling technic with the criteria of a fixed orthodontic user on upper and lower jaws. Results: The study on the effect of the orthodontic toothbrush is useful on the reduction index on fixed orthodontic users with t count value of 31.524 and significant at 0.000 (p<0.05). The uses of bristle toothbrushes are beneficial to reduce the index on orthodontic devices with a t count of 11.483 and a significant at 0.000 (p<0.05). The use of effective zig zag bristles on the loss index for fixed orthodontic users allows with a t count of 7.084 and a significance at 0.001 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The use of a better toothbrush for zigzag bristles towards cutting the plaque index in fixed orthodontic wearers. For fixed orthodontic users. To use an orthodontic toothbrush, because it is more effective against reducing the index and using the recommended brushing technique, circular modification bass.

The efficacy of the dental Water Jet, orthodontic, and conventional toothbrushes in plaque removal around orthodontic braces in adolescents: A randomized controlled trial

“…A statistically significant difference was noted in dental plaque accumulation before and after cleaning in both groups. These results are in agreement with Gomes et al ( 2012 ) and Kurnianti and Razi ( 2019 ) findings. This could be explained by the fact that the participants were instructed on how to remove dental plaque using different means.…”

“…This variation could be attributed to the fact that in vitro studies are likely to occur in a more controlled environment.In the current study, no statistically significant difference was found between the DWJ and the O-TH. This result agrees with the one reported bySoni et al (2012), which suggested that both O-TH and DWJ are effective oral hygiene tools.A statistically significant difference was noted in dental plaque accumulation before and after cleaning in both groups.These results are in agreement withGomes et al (2012) andKurnianti and Razi (2019) findings.

Efektivitas Dua Tipe Sikat Gigi terhadap Penurunan Indeks Plak pada Pasien Ortodonti Cekat dengan Teknik Penyikatan Horizontal, Vertikal, dan Roll

“…Hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan sikat gigi khusus ortodontik lebih baik dari kedua sikat gigi konvensional dalam penurunan IP dengan menggunakan teknik roll dan modifikasi bass. 22 Pertimbangan dalam pemilihan sikat gigi pada penelitian ini selain memiliki bulu sikat halus, rata tapi juga tapered dengan tujuan agar bulu sikat dapat masuk ke sulkus gusi dan ke sela-sela sekeliling band dan bracket, sehingga dapat membersihkan plak secara optimal. 5,6,8 Hasil penelitian terdahulu menggunakan 2 teknik sikat gigi yaitu teknik roll dan modifikasi bass yang memiliki kelemahan dalam menjangkau pada permukaan tertentu, khususnya plak di daerah interdental, sulkus gusi dan di bawah band dan bracket.…”
