“…A recent systematic review on the efficacy of manual toothbrushes demonstrated that plaque removal was clearly better after brushing for 2 min (41 % mean plaque reduction) than for 1 min (27 % mean plaque reduction) [40]. In the present study, the mean brushing duration was 156 s, and only 14 % of subjects brushed for less than 90 s, which was considerably longer than previously published: between 31 and 67 s [14,15,19,20,41], 96 [24] and 117 s (6-12-year-olds) [23].…”

“…According to a study by Löe and Kleinmann, 18 three main factors are associated with the efficacy of plaque removal by tooth brushing: 1) the design of the brush, 2) the skill of the individual using the brush, and 3) the frequency and duration of use. A systematic review by Slot et al 19 evaluated the efficacy of a brushing exercise on plaque scores. A meta-analysis of 59 studies revealed that a single brushing exercise reduced plaque scores from 30% to 53% of baseline.…”

Periodontal conditions of Colombian university students aged 16 to 35Abstract: Epidemiological data on the periodontal health and oral hygiene practices of young individuals in Latin America are limited. This study was conducted in a sample of 355 first-year students randomly selected from 3,251 new students entering the largest university in Colombia. Participants received a periodontal examination and were interviewed about oral hygiene practices. Specifically, this study assessed the relationship between oral hygiene practices (including smoking tobacco) and plaque accumulation and/or periodontal bleeding on probing (BOP). Participants had extensive plaque accumulation and BOP, with a mean O´Leary plaque index of 56% and mean BOP of 37%. Both measures were higher for proximal surfaces. Plaque indices of at least 50% were not associated with any oral hygiene factors; however, plaque index and use of dental floss were associated with a BOP of at least 50%. Frequency of tooth brushing was higher in female than in male participants. Only 5% of participants reported smoking tobacco. On average, participants had 2.7 ± 4.6 pockets of at least 4 mm (18% of participants had ≥ 5 and 9% of participants had ≥ 10 pockets of this depth, respectively). On average, participants had 2.1 ± 4.4 sites with clinical attachment loss of at least 2 mm (15% and 6% of participants had ≥ 5 and ≥ 10 sites with this level of loss). Only 8% of participants were diagnosed with moderate periodontitis, and no participants were diagnosed with severe periodontitis. In conclusion, although participants had high levels of plaque and BOP, signs of advanced destructive periodontal disease were minimal.

“…However, a number of factors can hinder optimal tooth brushing including individuals' incompetency in toothbrushing habit, degree of periodontal tissue change due to gingivitis or periodontitis, bristle arrangement or flexibility and type of toothbrush or toothpaste 23) . Furthermore, a recent systematic review assessing the efficacy in dental plaque removal showed that following a single brushing exercise, the plaque reduction is only 42% on average 24) . Considering that such remnant plaque on tooth surfaces can cause gingivitis, the use of adjunctive cleaning agents such as mouthrinses should be integrated into oral hygiene care routine.…”

Methods: In this double-blinded clinical trial, a total of thirty-four participants aged over 19 years were randomly allocated to three experimental groups: 1) control group; 2) aqueous single-phase mouthrinse (ASM) group, and; 3) oil-water two-phase mouthrinse (OTM) group. The experimental mouthrinses all contained sodium fluoride, and the ASM and OTM contained additional ingredients of bamboo salt, magnolia bark, and Centella asiatica extracts. For the OTM, 50% essential oil was added to create an oil-water two-phase mouthrinse. A two-week randomized crossover design with a two-week washout period was applied. Following a complete dental prophylaxis, participants were instructed to use the prescribed mouthrinse twice daily for two weeks as an adjunct to their usual mechanical oral hygiene procedures. Pre-and post-experiment clinical examinations were performed to measure the plaque index (PI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) for the full mouth. Paired t-test was applied to compare the intergroup differences for all clinical variables. Results: Compared to the control group, ASM showed a significantly reduced BOP (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the effects of the three mouthrinses on reducing the PI. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the use of an aqueous, single-phase mouthrinse containing bamboo salt, magnolia bark and Centella asiatica extracts could help alleviate gingivitis.
