“…Recent studies explored the relationship between SPC frequencies and gingival health in subjects without a history of periodontitis (de Freitas et al., 2016; Pinto et al., 2013). Up to this time, evidence that explains the effect of SPC frequency on gingival health in subjects with a history of periodontitis, that is subjects proven susceptible to periodontitis, is lacking.…”

“…Recent studies have shown personal oral hygiene performed at 12‐ or 24‐hr intervals are compatible with gingival health (de Freitas et al., 2016; Pinto, de Freitas, Dutra, Kantorski, & Moreira, 2013). SPC at 48‐hr intervals appears insufficient to maintain gingival health levels, even when including use of toothpaste containing an antimicrobial agent (Pinto et al., 2013).…”

Aim This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effect of the frequency of self‐performed mechanical plaque control (SPC) on gingival health in subjects with a history of periodontitis. Materials and Methods Forty‐two subjects participating in a routine periodontal maintenance program were randomized to perform SPC at 12‐, 24‐ or 48‐hr intervals. Plaque index (PlI) and gingival index (GI) were evaluated at baseline, and days 15, 30 and 90 of study. Probing depths, clinical attachment levels and bleeding on probing were assessed at baseline, days 30 and 90. Mixed linear models were used for the analysis and comparison of experimental groups. Results Mean GI at baseline remained unchanged throughout study (90 days) only in the 12‐hr group (0.7 ± 0.1 versus 0.8 ± 0.1; p < .05). At the end of study, mean GI was significantly increased in the 48‐hr group over that in the 12‐ and 24‐hr groups. When GI = 2 scores were considered, only the 48‐hr group failed to maintain gingival health throughout the study (18.8%). Conclusion SPC performed at a 12‐ or 24‐hr frequency appears sufficient to controlling gingival inflammation whereas this clinical status was not maintained using a 48‐hr frequency in subjects with a history of periodontitis subject to a routine periodontal maintenance program (ClinicalTrials.gov: 50208115.9.0000.5346).

“…Routine tooth brushing and other mechanical aids are widely recognized as the mainstay for the prevention of oral biofilm-associated dental diseases. 8 Due to the lack of effective use of mechanical plaque control, patients could explore additional benefits from chemotherapeutic antiplaque agents. The antiplaque agents can decrease the rate of new plaque accumulation, decrease or remove existing plaque, suppress the growth of pathogenic microflora, or inhibit the production of virulence factors.…”

Dental plaque is a biofilm that forms naturally on the surfaces of exposed teeth and other areas of the oral cavity. It is the primary etiological factor for the most frequently occurring oral diseases, such as dental caries and periodontal diseases. Specific, nonspecific, and ecologic plaque hypothesis explains the causation of dental and associated diseases. Adequate control of biofilm accumulation on teeth has been the cornerstone of prevention of periodontitis and dental caries. Mechanical plaque control is the mainstay for prevention of oral diseases, but it requires patient cooperation and motivation; therefore, chemical plaque control agents act as useful adjuvants for achieving the desired results. Hence, it is imperative for the clinicians to update their knowledge in chemical antiplaque agents and other developments for the effective management of plaque biofilm-associated diseases. This article explores the critical analysis of various chemical plaque control strategies and the current trends in the control and prevention of dental plaque biofilm.
