“…In spite of numerous techniques and materials being available for getting rid of the plaque and extrinsic stains, none has qualified as a gold standard treatment modality till date. Routine home dental polishing done with powered toothbrush[ 5 6 ] and whitening paste,[ 7 8 ] although effective, still lacks efficiency in inaccessible areas, thus necessitating a more efficient professional polishing other than conventional rubber-cup polishing.…”

Objectives:Over the years, professional dental prophylaxis has involved the use of rubber-cup, bristle brush, and abrasive paste for coronal polishing. Although air polishing is an excellent alternative for removal of tooth stain and dental plaque, very few studies have compared their efficacy in vivo. The present study attempts to evaluate and compare the efficacy of air polishing (test) alone versus rubber-cup polishing (control).Materials and Methods:A total of 35 individuals having generalized mild to moderate gingivitis were enrolled as the study population after obtaining their informed consent. Before commencement of the study, all subjects underwent scaling to remove calculus deposits (if any), following which the ipsilateral quadrant of the patient's mouth was randomly assigned as the test side and the contralateral quadrant of the same arch was assigned as the control side for polishing procedures. Time employed for both methods of polishing was held constant at 5 min for each technique. Subjects were assessed before and immediately after polishing and again after 15 days following treatment, for plaque and gingival status along with gingival bleeding.Results:Overall, the results of the intra-group comparison of both the polishing procedure sites indicated similar but significant plaque and gingival status changes, whereas the inter-group comparison showed no significant difference between the efficacies of both the groups.Conclusions:Air polishing and the rubber-cup, bristle brush with paste polishing demonstrated equivalent efficacy regarding removal of supragingival plaque and in reducing gingival inflammation.

“…On the market of dental materials intended for use in the dental office there are many pastes for professionally cleaning teeth of extrinsic stains. An important function of a dentifrice is the control of extrinsic tooth discoloration caused by certain dietary components, tobacco, or drugs that are associated with protein compounds found in enamel structure and surface [6,17]. α = 0.05) (Figure 3).…”

“…The appearance of discolouration on the surface of tooth tissues is often associated with the use by patients of certain stimulants (mainly tobacco), medicines (chlorhexidine or tin salts), and the consumption of staining drinks (coffee, tea). The source of dyes may also be metabolites of oral bacteria (Neisseria, Porphyromonas, Actinomyces) [1,3,6,8,11,16].…”

“…The most commonly used is the Lobene Stain Index (SI) [8]. This index is used both in long-term clinical studies of toothpastes that patients use at home [4][5][6]18], manual or sonic brushes [2], mouthrinses [15], or chewing gums [12] for cleaning the teeth of deposits and discolorations, similarly to the dentifrices evaluated in the presented study. However, there are literature reports indicating the need to compare its sensitivity and specificity with the tooth stain index modified by Macpherson.…”

Introduction: Any change in tooth colour to a different colour than natural is considered as discolouration. There are three main types of discoloration: external, internal, and indirect (a combination of the first two). External discolorations are caused by external factors and appear on the surface of the tooth's clinical crown. Objectives: The objective of the double-blind clinical study was to compare the efficacy in extrinsic tooth stain removal of three commercially available dentifrices. Material and methods: In research, the following products were used: CleanPolish (Kerr), Detartrine (Septodont), and Cleanic (Kerr). The research included a questionnaire and a preliminary study containing a diagram and shortened Lobene Stain Index. The questionnaire contained questions about the habits predisposing to the formation of deposits. Determination of intensity and extent of deposits was made before and after the teeth cleaning procedure. Afterwards, the data was taken and analysed, and the effectiveness of different products was compared. Only anterior teeth were taken into consideration (shortened Lobene Stain Index). The research was conducted with a double-blind method. Results: All tested dentifrices were well-tolerated. Detartrine was the most effective in removing deposits. However, none of the tested pastes removed stains completely. Conclusions: The dentifrices used in the study showed similar effectiveness despite the differences in RDA value and the same clinical conditions, which justifies the need in the subsequent steps of the study of usage of a more sensitive and specific modified stain index (MSI).

“…In addition to extrinsic coloring agents, several studies have described that due to the brushing process, the teeth can indirectly develop a composite resin surface roughness, which can trigger color changes. However, other studies have reported that a tooth brushing process can actually help removing extrinsic stains, which physically bind to the surface of the teeth as well as aid in composite resin restorations [10].…”
