“…Even though manufacturers and professionals mostly recommend specifi c brushing methods for electric toothbrushes, it is assumed that in practice it is performed with a technique similar to manual brushing. However, Akgul et al [2003] found no signifi cant relation between abrasion and toothbrushing technique, but an association between abrasion and toothbrushing frequency. Heath and Wilson [1974] found that manual toothbrushing is performed with a frequency of 4.5 strokes/s.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of eroded enamel to brushing abrasion performed by manual, power or sonic toothbrushes. Bovine enamel samples were subjected to 5 cycles, each consisting of 5 min demineralisation, 15 min remineralisation and 10 min brushing in a machine. Toothbrushing with the activated electric devices was supplemented with 20 linear strokes/min. Furthermore, enamel specimens were brushed with 20 linear strokes/min or 80 linear strokes/min with the electric toothbrushes without their individual operating action. A manual brush was applied at 100, 20 or 80 linear strokes/min. Specimens of the control group were not brushed after demineralisation. Loss of enamel was determined by profilometry. For all groups, substrate loss for linear brushing treatment applying 20 or 80 strokes/min did not differ significantly from the control (4.97 ± 1.49 µm). Three power toothbrushing treatments significantly increased abrasion compared to linear brushing treatment with 20 or 80 strokes/min in their inactivated condition. The results indicate that brushing treatment with power or sonic toothbrushes may lead to significantly higher loss of demineralised enamel compared to toothbrushing without power or sonic support.

“…The present study is in concordance with this expectancy as the probability of cervical abrasion and subsequent hypersensitivity increases with increase in age with other available literature. [31][32][33][34][35][36]37 Together, age and brushing frequency expression for accumulated brushing time in the individuals, the importance of accumulated brushing time for the development of abrasive lesions is indicated that only subjects with least abrasion are youngest age group could be less exposure to abrasive cleaning aids and harmful brushing technique. [34][35][36]37 Horizontal brushing strokes invariably causes abrasion, in vivo it is proved that faulty tooth brushing has a significant role in causing abrasion and subsequent hypersensitivity.…”

Objectives: To attain alliance between the oral hygiene practices with prevalence of tooth abrasion among urban and rural adult population of Central India. To plan dental care services in inaccessible areas and to suggest appropriate remedial measures to prevent this avertable and self-inflicted injury of teeth in this cross-sectional study. Materials and methods:A sum of 1045 adult residents both from Urban (529) and rural (516) parts of Bhopal district (Central India) was selected on a random basis. The multistage sampling technique was adopted to ascertain the sample size. In urban area the study population consisted of 240 males, 289 females and 201 males and 315 females in rural area respectively. All residents above 18 years of age from the Bhopal district were included in cross-sectional study. Assessment form comprises of questionnaire and general information on oral hygiene practices, dietary habits and medical history. Abrasion was assessed using diagnostic criteria recommended by Smith and Knight (modified). Chi-square test was used to test associations between categorical variables at 5% level of significance. Regression analysis attempted to define for risk factors causing abrasion. Literature on the prevalence of abrasion is very sparse, so attempt is made to correlate the etiological factors and recommend to prevent tooth wear.Results: Investigation of this cross-sectional study was aggregate of 1045 residences. Result shows high prevalence of abrasion 70.2%. Higher prevalence concomitant with diffident habits related to oral hygiene maintenance was recorded more among rural (76.9%) when compared to urban dwellers (63.7%). Presence of abrasion verifies statistical significance in relation to age, ruralurban difference and variations in habit of oral hygiene care. Stated in the present study, avertable and self-inflicted is toothabrasion, recurrently resulted by the reprehensible brushing method and common use of indigenous material for the maintenance of oral hygiene.Conclusion: Shows significant liaisons with the presence of abrasions in relation to Urban and rural dwelling, age, material used and mode of brushing and duration of brushing. Indigenous and course material causes high amount of enamel wear and with the advancement in age abrasion tend to increase. Prevalence of abrasion does not show any gender predilection.Cultural believes, lifestyle and transition reflects in deviating presence of abrasion in populations.

“…From these studies it has been recommended that tooth brushing force should not exceed 3N [20]. Akgul, et al [30] stated the prevalence of tooth brushing abrasions was seen more frequently in males than in females. This doesn't contradict the result of this study that brushing force of males was higher than that of females.…”

While the need for caregivers' brushing have increased, the appropriate brushing motion is still unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the gender difference of brushing motions between self-brushing and caregivers' brushing.Tooth brushing motions of 15 male and 20 female dental professionals were analyzed using a three-dimensional accelerometer and a strain tension gage. They brushed the buccal surfaces of the right lower molars using two brushing situations. Multilevel model analysis was applied in this study.Concerning self-brushing, gender difference was significant in cycle duration, buccal-lingual motion and brushing force, whereas for caregivers' brushing, a significant difference was observed only in the brushing force. In addition, the brushing force during caregivers' brushing was significantly greater than that of self-brushing on both genders.This study clearly demonstrated gender difference of brushing motion and force. Furthermore, a significant difference between self-brushing and caregivers' brushing was also evident. These results might contribute to improving the caregivers' brushing.
