“…Training on oral hygiene practices should be given on daily basis to achieve desired benefits of the technique demonstrated to them in the study. When an educational intervention among hearing impaired children was carried out in a study conducted by Alse et al [16] it showed higher plaque score before oral health education in children with hearing impairment, similar to earlier studies. [17][18][19][20][21] In the present study, the females showed higher score when the mean of plaque and gingival index was considered in both control and experimental group, prior and post intervention.…”

BACKGROUND Oral health status of individuals with special needs is considered to be an important part of the overall health scenario. In India, people with disability may be with one or more kind of disability and is equal to 2.1 % of the population. This study focuses on the Impact of visual instructions on oral health status of children with sensory impairment in western Maharashtra. METHODS An interventional study was conducted among 90 children with either one or both of the following sensory disabilities such as deafness or mute at the Mukh Badhir School, Gajanan Society, Karad, and Maharashtra. WHO oral assessment form 1997 was used to assess oral health status and treatment needs of children, plaque level, calculus level and dental caries assessment. RESULTS Females (0.64±0.29) showed higher score when the mean of plaque and gingival index was considered in both the control and experimental group, prior and post the intervention. The results obtained were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Oral hygiene maintenance is a serious issue in case of sensory impaired children. Even with incorporation of Disclosing Agent appreciable changes were not noted in the study groups post intervention.

“…After adding additional 7 records identified by hand and grey literature searching, a total of 24 publications were judged to meet the inclusion criteria and their data were extracted (Figure 1). 18 reported from 11 different countries: Bulgaria, 22 Egypt, 23,24 India, 11,12,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Indonesia, [34][35][36] Iran, 37 Malaysia, 38 Mexico, 39 Pakistan, 40 Saudi Arabia, 41 Thailand 42 and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 43 Most of the studies were conducted in the last decades and included three types of study designs including randomized trials, 11,12,23,[25][26][27]37,[40][41][42][43] non-randomized trials, 28,29,33,34,36 and pre-post intervention without control studies.…”

AimPeople with hearing impairment (HI) prefer visual learning strategies in daily activities owing to their reliance on vision. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of visual learning as a communication strategy in improving oral hygiene and dental care of children and adolescents with HI.Methods and ResultsFour electronic databases were searched and complemented by hand searching for original intervention studies published till December 2021. Eligible studies were screened, data was extracted as per priori data collection form and analyzed by thematic content analysis. The quality of studies was assessed as per the validated tools appropriate for study designs including ROB2, ROBINS‐I, and NIH quality assessment tool. Out of 4159 records identified and 1302 duplicates removed, 24 original studies were identified and the visual learning strategies were classified into sign language, visual aids with or without sign language, customized educational demonstrations and the interim role of training the teachers. These strategies helped in improving oral hygiene status, oral health‐related knowledge and attitude as well as dental anxiety during treatment. Participants were found to be satisfied with these strategies, however, significant heterogeneity in the included studies precluded meaningful meta‐analysis. ROB2 and ROBINS were rated as high and serious in all included trials, respectively, and NIH Quality Assessment Tool for Pre‐Post Studies With No Control as fair in five studies and poor in three.ConclusionOur findings emphasize the significance of visual learning, however, long‐term rigorously designed trials are needed to better understand effective and patient‐centered communication methods for people with HI.

“…The plaque index (TQHI) is a site-related plaque scoring method used in the present study for comparing toothbrush efficacy, it was well suited for recording interproximal plaque in children according to Bezgin, those who have abundant gingival papillae in interproximal areas have an advantage of clear objective definitions of each numerical score included in the index. 4 Alse et al 10 also assessed the oral hygiene status using the TQHI and found it to be effective. For recording the gingival index score, the gingival index system as proposed by Loe and Silness was used, which is entirely confined to qualitative changes in the gingival soft tissues.…”

ObjectiveIn children, manual dexterity poses a problem with the use of manual tooth brushes (MB), resulting in inefficient plaque removal. Recently, novel chewable brushes (CB) have been introduced which could overcome this problem but are less researched in children. The objective of this study is to assess and compare the plaque removal effectiveness of CB with that of MB.Materials and methodsA total of 60 patients aged 8 to 10 years were enrolled in a single-blinded randomized clinical trial. At baseline, disclosing solution was applied and the Turesky modification of the Quigley–Hein index (TQHI) plaque index and Loe and Silness gingival index were recorded. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups as group I (MB) and group II (CB) and they were instructed to use their respective brushes for a period of 1 week. For statistical comparison, the difference (prebrushing minus postbrushing) in average scores was calculated. Data were evaluated by the independent t test and paired t test, with p < 0.05.ResultsThe overall plaque scores reduced from 1.71 ± 0.4 to 0.79 ± 0.24 when using CB and from 1.64 ± 0.64 to 1.13 ± 0.47 when using MBs. On lingual tooth surfaces, CB showed a plaque reduction of 38.70 ± 11.04 to 12.60 ± 4.79 compared to less reduction from 37.43 ± 14.26 to 28.73 ± 11.37 for MB. The overall gingival scores were also reduced from 0.33 ± 0.51 to 0.09 ± 0.07 when using CB and from 0.30 ± 0.33 to 0.19 ± 0.23 when using MB. Differences in scores between the two brushes were statistically significant (p = 0.0001).ConclusionIt was concluded that the experimental CB was able to remove a significant amount of plaque, particularly on the lingual surfaces, and reduced gingival index scores, thereby improving oral hygiene and gingival health status.How to cite this articleKayalvizhi G, Radha S, et al.
