Sponsor's own description
Children, especially the mentally disabled, are generally incapable of obtaining an adequate oral hygiene level by manual brushing because of their lack of knowledge about oral hygiene and their limited motor skills. To handle those limited skills different designs of manual and electric toothbrushes are developed and put on the market. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pulsating toothbrushes with easy-to-use properties against conventional toothbrushes and to analyze their benefits on mentally disabled pediatric patients. 31 healthy and 31 mentally disabled children (aged between 7-12) participated in this study. The effectiveness of three different toothbrushes (Oral-B Pulsar, Colgate 360º Micro Sonic Power, Oral-B Stages 3) was investigated with a cross-over study design. DMFT, dft, modified sulcus bleeding index (MOD-SBI), approximal plaque index (API) and Green and Vermillion simplified oral hygiene index (G\&V OHI-S) measurements are performed and used to evaluate the oral hygiene status.
