Clean teeth can’t get sick! Even though science tries very
hard to develop a toothpaste which will compensate
the inefficiency of the toothbrush, there still is no other
recognized, evidence-based alternative than plaque
reduction and disorganization.
However, despite the effort of most patients, only few fulfill
minimum criteria, such as brushing twice daily for 2 minutes
with a moderate brushing force, and without scrubbing
movements. This fact emphasizes the ongoing need for oral
hygiene education.
Together, we will explore the false myths about
toothbrushing, unveil the attributes of an ideal manual
toothbrush, as well as discover an alternative to daily
“scrubbing”. We will also determine the indications of sonic
devices and highlight whether electric toothbrushes are
superior to the manual ones.
1. Understand the 3 criteria for a correct choice of
techniques and teeth cleaning devices and how
those criteria can be beneficial in enhancing
patient’s motivation
2. Describe the features of an ideal manual toothbrush
3. Display the advantage and indications of
sonic devices
4. Show the use and utility of the Single brush
5. Highlight the importance of Touch to Teach in
improving patient’s practical skills and raise their
toothbrushing “consciousness”
