“…Therefore, the motivation and education using the MPS enabled participants to improve their oral hygiene more efficiently. Several sensitive plaque indices [ 16 19 21 31 ] have been also introduced. A new method of plaque scoring [ 19 ] was reported to have less variability within and between examiners than the Turesky modification of the plaque index by Quigley and Hein [ 12 ].…”

“…The importance of plaque control and oral hygiene education for preventing periodontitis and peri-implantitis is well recognized [ 1 ]. Many plaque index systems [ 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ] have been used to help improve patients' oral hygiene. In addition, several more detailed and sensitive plaque indices [ 17 19 21 22 ] have been introduced in clinical studies.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the modified plaque score (MPS) for assessing the oral hygiene status of periodontitis patients. Methods: A total of 116 patients were included in this study. After evaluation of the Löe and Silness gingival index (GI), Silness and Löe plaque index (PlI), O'Leary plaque control record (PCR), and MPS, patients were randomly assigned to either a conventional tooth brushing instruction (C-TBI) group (n=56) or a professional intraoral tooth brushing instruction (P-TBI) group (n=60). The MPS and clinical parameters were re-evaluated after scaling and a series of root planing. The convergent validity of MPS with the PlI and PCR was assessed. The measurement time for MPS and PCR was compared according to the proficiency of the examiner. Results: After root planing, the GI, PlI, PCR, and MPS improved from their respective baseline values in both groups. Three different plaque indices including the MPS, showed significant differences between the C-TBI group and the P-TBI group after root planing. The MPS showed significant concurrence with the PCR and PlI. The mean time for PCR measurement was 2.76±0.71 times longer than that for MPS measurement after 2 weeks of training. Conclusions: MPS seems to be a practical plaque scoring system compared with the PlI and PCR. These findings suggest that repetitive plaque control combined with an easily applicable plaque index (MPS) may facilitate more effective oral hygiene education and improved periodontal health.Keywords: Dental plaque index; Oral hygiene; Peri-implantitis; Periodontitis INTRODUCTIONFor decades, the innumerable teeth extracted due to periodontitis have been replaced with dental implants. Unfortunately, however, dental implants are vulnerable to periimplantitis if plaque control is inadequate [1]. Several studies have shown associations between systemic disease and periodontitis [2][3][4]. Therefore, the role of proper plaque biofilm control in the prevention of systemic disease and periodontitis has received a greater emphasis than ever before.

Effective professional intraoral tooth brushing instruction using the modified plaque score: a randomized clinical trial 22 https://jpis.org Periodontitis is a chronic disease caused by intraoral biofilms harboring periodontal pathogenic microorganisms [5,6]. Peri-implantitis is a multifactorial disease with an etiology similar to that of periodontitis [7]. Gingivitis is a reversible disease that can be successfully treated with control of the supragingival biofilm [8]. Plaque control is a critical component in all aspects of both periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Serino and Strom [9] reported that peri-implant lesions were associated with inadequate plaque control at the implant sites and rarely occurred around i...

Menyikat gigi merupakan salah satu cara untuk menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang dipengaruhi oleh alat dan teknik yang digunakan. Masyarakat Suku Baduy menyikat gigi menggunakan sabut kelapa. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan indeks plak Masyarakat Suku Baduy sebelum dan sesudah menyikat gigi menggunakan sabut kelapa. Metode: Metode penelitian yang dilakukan bersifat pra-eksperimental, dengan rancangan one group pretest-posttest. Sampel terdiri dari 36 orang yang diperoleh secara purposive sampling. Metode penilaian plak yang digunakan adalah indeks plak O'Leary dan New Method of Plaque Scoring (NMPS). Data yang diperoleh berupa indeks plak dan dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji statistik χ2 (Chi-square). Hasil: Hasil uji statistik χ2 (Chi-square) menunjukkan perubahan indeks plak O'Leary bahwa nilai χ-hitung yang diperoleh (10,060) > χ-tabel (7,815), sesuai dengan kriteria pengujian hipotesis bahwa H0 ditolak, sedangkan pada indeks plak NMPS. nilai χ-hitung yang diperoleh (2,455) > χ-tabel (5,991), sesuai dengan kriteria pengujian hipotesis bahwa H0 diterima. Simpulan: Terdapat perubahan bermakna berdasarkan indeks plak O'leary pada masyarakat Suku Baduy antara sebelum dengan sesudah menggosok gigi menggunakan sabut kelapa yang termasuk dalam kategori buruk, namun tidak terdapat perubahan yang bermakna berdasarkan indeks plak NMPS yang termasuk dalam kategori baik. Kata kunci: Indeks plak O'Leary, New Method of Plaque Scoring (NMPS), Baduy, menyikat gigi, sabut kelapa. Plaque index of the Baduy tribe community before and after toothbrushing with coconut fibre ABSTRACT Introduction: Brushing your teeth is one way to maintain healthy teeth and oral cavity, which is influenced by the tools and techniques used. The Baduy tribe people brush their teeth using coconut fibre. The purpose of the study was to determine the differences in the Baduy tribe plaque index before and after brushing teeth using coconut fibre. Methods: The research method was pre-experimental, with one group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 36 people obtained by purposive sampling. The plaque assessment method used were the O'Leary and New Method of Plaque Scoring (NMPS) plaque index. Data collected in the form of plaque indices and analysed statistically using the χ2 (Chi-square) statistical test. Result: The results of the statistical test χ2 (Chi-square) showed the change in the O'Leary plaque index that the χ-count value obtained (10.060) > χ-table (7.815), according to the hypothesis testing criteria that H0 was rejected; while the NMPS plaque index χ-count value obtained (2.455) > χ-table (5.991), according to the hypothesis testing criteria that H0 was accepted. Conclusion: There was a significant change in the Baduy tribe O'Leary plaque index before and after brushing teeth using a coconut fibre which was categorised as poor, but there were no significant changes in the NMPS plaque index which belongs to the good category.

A new method of plaque scoring: a laboratory comparison with other plaque indices

Abstract: The proposed new method of plaque scoring seems to be simpler, clearer and more reproducible than the three comparative indices. However, clinical testing is warranted.
