Abstract
A clinical study was undertaken to assess the ability of four toothbrushes of varying bristle design and stiffness
to remove dental plaque in preventive and non-preventively
oriented patients. Patients were stained with disclosing
solution and their plaque recorded by means of the OHI-S.
Patients selected a brush arbitrarily and were asked to brush,
on completion of brushing, they were stained again and the
plaque re-scored. Patients were then asked to complete a
questionaire. The study was completed on 120 patients, 60
non-instructed and 60 instructed in oral physiotherapy
techniques. [TRUNCATED]
