“…All these studies compare favorably with the results of the present study and underline the importance of recall appointments in maintaining the periodontal health. Without such professional assistance, periodontal disease will possibly reoccur (Suomi 1971, Axelsson & Lindhe 1981).…”

“…Most researchers recommend toothbrushing twice a day and agree that when performed with fluoride toothpaste, it could also reduce dental caries [4][5][6][7]. However, a recent systematic review of the available evidence has shown that toothbrushing plays a limited role in caries prevention [8], because brushing alone is not sufficient in cleaning the proximal surfaces of teeth.…”

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the extent of dental health knowledge among students at the Kuwait University Health Sciences Centre (HSC), as well as their attitudes toward dental health and their oral hygiene habits. Methods: A structured questionnaire was distributed to 450 of the 800 students enrolled in 3 faculties of the HSC from March to April 2000. The questionnaire was completed anonymously by the students. Results: Four hundred and ten students (91.1%) completed the questionnaire. Of these, 64.6% believed that the main cause of tooth decay was ‘not brushing properly’. Only 19.3% of the students believed that sugar could cause dental decay. Half of the students did not know if sugar-free drinks are harmful to their teeth, and 29.5% did not know about any measures to prevent gums from bleeding. Self-assessment questions showed that 84.5% of the students were satisfied with their dental health. A large majority of the students (94.8%) brushed their teeth at least once a day. Female students brushed their teeth more frequently than male students, as did those students who had visited a dentist in the past 6–12 months and those who rated their dental health to be very good. The main reason given for a dental visit was toothache (70.0%). Coffee was consumed daily by 68.9% of students, 76.6% of whom added sugar to their coffee. Conclusions: The findings indicate that although most of the students at the HSC seem to be satisfied with their dental health, they did not have correct knowledge about the causes and prevention of dental diseases. In general, female students were more aware and concerned about dental health issues and more engaged in dental behaviour than male students.

“…Daily oral hygiene aims at controlling plaque formation and is a key factor in preventing periodontal disease (Suomi 1971, Axelsson & Lindhe 1981). Plaque, if left unhindered to accumulate along the gingival margin, will result in gingivitis (Löe et al 1965).…”

In instruction-resistant patients recruited from dental practices, the combined use of AmF/SnF(2) did not decrease gingivitis at a significant level in comparison with the regular regime of two times daily brushing with an NaF-containing dentifrice. However, the above-mentioned combination resulted in greater plaque reduction than that observed with the use of the conventional dentifrice. When used according to the manufacturer's instructions, this effect on plaque scores was more pronounced.
