Abstract:
The present study investigate the effect of newly designed toothbrush(Chess tip : experimental group , conventional toothbrush(control group) on plaque control, gingivitis, and peridontitis. The results of 4weeks post-research by clinical comparison between the two groups are as follows. 1. In analysis of plaque index between groups there was significant difference in the experimental group at 2, 4 week. 2. In analysis of gingival index between groups there was significant difference in the experimental group at 1, 2, 4 week. 3. Both experimental group and control group showed decrease in periodontal pocket depth after 4week, but there was significant difference in the experimental group at 4 week. 4. Both experimental group and control group showed decrease in bleeding on probing after 4week, but there was significant difference in the experimental group at 4 week. These results indicate that newly designed toothbrush has beneficial effects as additional aid of mechanical treatment at the point of periodontal pocket, plaque control, and bleeding on probing.
