Objective:This study was undertaken to evaluate the respective effectiveness of the horizontal scrub, Fones, and modified Bass methods demonstrated on the cast to individual child within the classroom setting.Materials and Methods:A total of 180 healthy children studying in 1st and 2nd grades in the age range of 6-8 years were randomly selected from various schools of Gulbarga district, Karnataka, India. They were equally divided into three groups. Children in each group were demonstrated only one of the three brushing techniques, viz. horizontal scrub technique to group A, Fones technique to group B, and modified Bass technique to group C, using a cast model. All the children were re-examined and reviewed after 24 h and plaque index was re-assessed to obtain the follow-up data. The results were compared with the baseline data, and statistical analysis was carried out using paired t-test and intergroup comparison was made using analysis of variance (ANOVA) test.Results:Statistically significant (P < 0.001) reduction in plaque score was seen in modified Bass technique followed by horizontal scrub technique and the least efficacy was seen in Fones technique.Conclusion:This study showed that modified Bass technique was the most effective brushing technique in children.

Demonstration of oral hygiene measures using a child as a model was found to be the most effective motivational tool in improving the oral hygiene and gingival health status (McCauley et al, 1955;Christabel and Gurunathan, 2015).…”

Dentists play an important role in the primary prevention of dental problems in young through preventive treatments, risk assessment and anticipatory guidance for parents regarding oval development, caries prevention and overall oral health, including brushing techniques, fluoride toothpaste, brushing twice a day. The aim of this study was to evaluate the commonly used brushing technique by dental students during the mixed dentition stage. Data were retrieved from the dental records. Data of brushing techniques used in pediatric dentistry was collected from the patient management records of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry. Patients of 6–12 years with mixed dentition were shortlisted. Data obtained was tabulated in excel and analyzed using statistical software. Age distribution of this study was 6 years (6.2%), 7 years (15%), 8 years (19%), 9 years(16.4%), 10 years(15.3%), 11 years(13.6%), 12 years (14.2%). Gender distribution of this study was males (57%) and females (43%). Most commonly taught brushing technique by dental students during the mixed dentition stage was Fones brushing technique (73.5%) followed by the Modified Bass technique (19.1%) (p<0.05- significant). We can conclude by saying that the Fones brushing technique was the most commonly taught brushing technique by dental students during the mixed dentition stage with male predominance, and it was statistically significant.

“… 17 Studies have also concluded that classroom-based training provides significant improvements in oral health knowledge and behaviour, increasing the use of fluoride toothpaste and a twice-daily toothbrushing habit. 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 Further, several investigations have confirmed that schools are ideal locations for toothbrushing interventions in children because they offer long-term opportunities, with repeated exposures, to develop healthy behaviours 15 , 23 , 24 , 25 and improve oral health outcomes. 6 , 26 It has also been reported that children need visual stimuli to promote learning of brushing techniques.…”
