Özet:

 Objective: A comparative evaluation of the plaque removal efficacy of manual, electric, and chewable toothbrushes. Material-Method: Our randomized and examiner-blinded clinical study involved 90 dental students. The students were divided into three groups: manual, electric, and chewable toothbrush users. The plaque removal efficiency of the brushes was evaluated using the Turesky modification of the QuigleyHein Index TMQHI. Results: Ninety participants, consisting of 32 males and 58 females, aged between 21 and 23 years average age 220.47 were included in the study. The mean TMQHI score before brushing was 2.40.49 in the manual brushing group, 1.810.61 in the electric toothbrush group, and 1.930.6 in the chewable brush group. The mean for the manual brushing group was thus higher than that of the other two groups p0.001. The mean TMQHI score after brushing was 1.370.43 in the manual brushing group, 0.910.52 in the electric toothbrush group, and 1.310.67 in the chewable brush group. The effectiveness of the chewable brush in plaque removal in all regions of the mouth was lower than that of the other two p0.001. There was no statistical difference between the manual and electric toothbrushes. Conclusion: The plaque removal efficiency of the chewable toothbrush was found to be lower than that of the electric and manual toothbrushes.

 Amaç: Manuel, elektrikli ve çiğnenebilir diş fırçalarının plak uzaklaştırma etkinliklerinin karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Materyal- Metot: Randomize ve araştırmacı-kör klinik çalışmamıza 90 diş hekimliği öğrencisi dahil edildi. Öğrenciler manuel, elektrikli ve çiğnenebilir diş fırçası kulananlar olarak 3 gruba ayrıldı. Fırçaların plak uzaklaştırma etkinliği, Quigley-Hein İndeksinin Turesky modifikasyonu TMQHI kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yaşları 21-23 arasında ortalama yaş 220,47, 32 erkek ve 58 kadın olmak üzere 90 katılımcı çalışmaya dahil edildi. Fırçalama öncesi ortalama TMQHI skoru manuel diş fırçası grubunda 2,40,49, elektrikli diş fırçası grubunda 1,810,61 ve çiğnenebilir diş fırçası grubunda 1,930,6 olarak tespit edildi. Fırçalamadan önceki plak miktarı ortalaması, manuel diş fırçası grubunda diğer iki gruptan daha yüksekti p0.001. Fırçalama sonrası ortalama TMQHI skoru manuel diş fırçası grubunda 1,370,43, elektrikli diş fırçası grubunda 0,910,52 ve çiğnenebilir diş fırçası grubunda 1,310,67 olarak tespit edildi. Çiğnenebilir diş fırçasının tüm bölgelerdeki plak uzaklaştırma etkinliği diğer diş fırçalarına göre düşük bulunurken p0.001, manuel ve elektrikli diş fırçaları arasında istatistiksel olarak fark yoktur. Sonuç: Çiğnenebilir diş fırçasının plak uzaklaştırma etkinliği elektrikli ve manuel diş fırçalarına göre daha düşük bulunmuştur.
