Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary outcome is Gigival Abrasion Score (Danser et al. 1998).
Secondary outcome
Not applicable
Background summary
The mechanical control of supragingival plaque by daily toothbrushing is an
essential element in effective oral hygiene and most commonly practised.
However, as a result of toothbrushing some people may traumatize the gingival
tissues due to improper brushing techniques, hard bristle filaments or improper
end-rounded filament ends.
Study objective
The objective of this pilot study is to assess the effect of filament
endrounding quality on gingival abrasion.
Study design
This is a randomized, double-blind, replicate-use, split-mouth brushing
excercise, three period crossover study design with professional brushing.
Intervention
First for each leg of the cross-over by type of end-rounded bristle (group A,
B, or C) secondly assignment by brush type to professional brushing in 2
contra-lateral (1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th) quadrants.
Every visit the Abrasion is measured by the examiner. The dental hygienist will
brush with two different brushes, contra lateral (1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th
quadrant), finally the abrasion is measured.
Group A= 0% end-rounded Oral- B indicator
Group B= 40- 50% end-rounded Oral- B indicator
Group C= 90 % end-rounded Oral- B indicator
Study burden and risks
There are no risks.
