Abstract: Dental plaque removal is an important issue in health promotion. Toothbrushing is one of the main methods employed for such purpose, since it can prevent dental caries by means of the fluoride present in the dentifrice. Dentifrices might contain plaque disclosing agents and thus allow dental plaque observation. The aim of this study was to assess whether utilization of a plaque disclosing agent interfered with plaque removal among adolescents, as well as the difference between utilization of erythrosine tablet… Show more

“…The direct visualization of dental plaque in situ using disclosing tablets has had a positive impact on public health by demonstrating the effect of brushing on bacterial accumulation on teeth (Silva et al ) and thus the link between the presence of oral bacteria and the risk of oral disease (Hobson and Clark ). Whilst such methods do not differentiate between viable and nonviable material or indicate the metabolic activity that is the main driver of dental caries, a three‐tone plaque disclosing gel is available which extends the concept to link bacterial acidogenesis to a colour change when applied directly to the tooth surface (Jayanthi et al ).…”
