The study aims to compare the efficacy of using gamification for oral hygiene in children at home environment.
Removal and prevention of formation of dental plaque biofilms is the cornerstone of current hygiene regimens to prevent, reduce or even reverse the gingival and periodontal disease condition. In such endeavors of mechanical plaque removal, tooth-brushing and use of dental floss play an important role. Gomes et al have presented a modification in the use of knotted floss in wider embrasure areas. The modification in the dental floss has been done so as to increase the effective width of the floss. The purpose of this study is to compare the reduction of the clinical signs of plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, gingival bleeding and gingival trauma in the area the knotted floss technique has been utilized versus the area where conventional flossing or interdental brush has been utilized in Type II gingival embrasures. Patients' acceptability of the knotted flossing technique will also be evaluated.
This randomized controlled crossover trial conducted on 25 dental students. in the preliminary session each volunteer was given a toothbrush(Trisa, soft, Switzerland) and toothpaste(Pooneh, Iran) and Dental Floss( Mina, Iran)to use during the study, and they were instructed the proper techniques of brushing and flossing.The study was performed in two treatment sessions and a 48 hour washout period. They passed through the sessions in a randomized sequence. After prophylaxis with rubber cup, they were asked to discontinue all oral hygiene for 24 hour. At the first session , they flossed first followed by brushing (floss-brush group) and at the other session they used dental floss after brushing (brush-floss group) . At each session, before and after brushing and flossing , Dental plaque reduction was assessed using Rustogi Modified Navi Plaque Index. Interdental plaque was collected for measuring fluoride. Differences between the two groups were analyzed with mixed model test.
This study is 6 weeks long with 6 visits to a clinical site. People participating in this study will be asked to brush their teeth two times a day with a provided toothbrush. For one of those six weeks people will be asked to rinse with a mouthwash. During that time, people will use the mouthwash two times a day and will not be allowed to brush their teeth at all. The mouth, teeth, tongue and gums will be looked at by a dentist. At each visit, people will rinse with a pink liquid that will dye their mouths pink. The dye is temporary and will go away by the end of the day. They may also be asked to complete a short questionnaire about their experience.
