Objective: Aim of this study was to compare the plaque-reducing
effectiveness of powered and manual tooth brushing in a small group of
children.

Materials
and Methods: Ten children aged
between 7 to 10 years old were included the study. Each child firstly used
manual tooth brush (ORAL B Stages for children). After two weeks children were
asked to use powered tooth brush (ORAL-B TRIUMPH
5000 SMART GUIDE) for two weeks. Turesky
modification of the Quigley and Hein Plaque Index (TQHPI) and Approximal Plaque Index (API) scores
were recorded every two weeks. Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were
used for comparison the jaws and powered brush /manual brush. Significance at p
<0.05 were considered.

Results: The whole mouth TQHPI and API were significantly
different at after Powered Tooth brushing (p=0,005, p= 0,012). Statistics determined the most
significant  relationship was
observed  between baseline-post powered
brushing and between manual-powered brushing in both TQHPI and API values
(p=0.008**,p=0.005**,p=0.018*,p=0.012*).

 

Conclusion: Considering the results
of the pilot study; it shows that it is more effective in removing dental
plaque in both automatic and manual tooth brushing. Therefore, powered tooth brush can also be recommended
for children to increase the oral health.
