Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the correlation among adequacy of toothbrushing factors, awareness of difficulty in toothbrushing and the plaque score for improving the method of toothbrushing instructions. Method: One hundred twenty-seven subjects were divided into rolling and Bass’ method group. Subjects were advised to brush their teeth everyday under a guided instruction instructed 3 times during 4 weeks of research. The plaque score was measured by Turesky’s index. The evaluation criteria the adequacy of toothbrushing factors were categorized as toothbrush grasps, stroke action, stroke frequency, and dividing dental arch. Awareness of the subjective degree of difficulty in toothbrushing was measured by a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. (‘very easy to ‘very difficult). Results: There was no significant relationship between the awareness of the subjective degree of difficulty in toothbrushing and the plaque score. Also, there was no significant relationship between the awareness of toothbrushing difficulty and the adequacy of toothbrushing factors. Repeated instructions were more important than awareness of difficulty or adequacy of toothbrushing factors on reducing the plaque score. The priority setting of toothbrushing factors with a given opportunity and circumstance of instruction is needed to enhance the effect of TBI. Conclusion: It is strongly believed that more detailed research on the role of toothbrushing education and on which educational factors are of importance regarding dental plaque care are taken into further consideration.
