| Popis: | OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate plaque removal efficacy of toothbrushes to guide clinical model development. METHODS This single-centre, randomised, controlled, examiner-blind, method development study included 80 healthy participants. Over 28 days, participants brushed twice-daily using a fluoride toothpaste and one of four marketed toothbrushes: Toothbrushes A (compact head) and B (regular head): medium-hard; flat trim; end-rounded bristles; Toothbrush C: medium-hard; end-rounded bristles; silky, tapered filaments; compact head; Toothbrush D: soft; tapered filaments; compact head. Supra-gingival plaque removal was evaluated immediately after single brushing events (Days 0, 7, 28, at study centre) and following 7- and 28-days' home use via Rustogi modified Navy Plaque Index (RPI) and Turesky modified Quigley Hein Plaque Index (TPI). RESULTS All toothbrushes provided significant plaque removal after single-brushing events with change from Day 0 pre-brushing scores on RPI ranging from -0.10 to -0.16 (p |
