Abstract

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two different manual toothbrushes on gingival health among patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Methodology: In the present randomized cross-over controlled trial, 60 subjects were recruited, to receive either crisscross or multilevel bristle design. Modified Gingival Index (MGI), Modified Silness and Loe Plaque Index, and Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) and were assessed for 120 days. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 21 (SPSS; Chicago, IL, USA). Owing to the ordinal nature of the indices, non-parametric tests of significance were used. Results: The efficacy of the two-bristle design brush showed an overall reduction in the mean score. Overall significant differences were seen in the efficacy of the two different bristle designs. Both the study groups showed a reduction in the mean MGI, PL, and GBI with a P value less than 0.001 which was statistically significant. Conclusion: In the present study, the criss-cross bristle design was found to be significantly more effective as compared to the multilevel toothbrush design for reducing MGI, PL, and GBI scores.

牙刷对正畸治疗患者牙龈健康的影响

目的:评价和比较两种不同的手动牙刷对正畸患者牙龈健康的影响。方法:本研究随机交叉对照试验，共招募60名受试者，采用交叉或多层刚毛设计。改良的牙龈指数(MGI)、改良的丝度和斑块指数、牙龈出血指数(GBI)，持续120 d。统计学分析采用SPSS version 21 (SPSS;芝加哥，伊利诺伊州，美国)。由于指标的顺序性质，采用非参数显著性检验。结果:双刷毛设计刷的疗效显示平均评分总体降低。两种不同刷毛设计的整体效果有显著差异。两个研究组均显示平均MGI、PL和GBI的降低，P值小于0.001，具有统计学意义。结论:在本研究中，与多层牙刷设计相比，交叉刷毛设计在降低MGI, PL和GBI评分方面显着更有效。
