The Effect of Bristle Brush, Rubber Cup, and Air Polishing on Tooth Surface Roughness of Scaled Teeth: A Randomized Controlled Trial Study Using Scanning Electron Microscope: Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bristle Brush Polishing, Rubber Cup Polishing, and 2 other interventions for Periodontal Diseases and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study investigates the effects of three polishing methods using a bristle brush, rubber cup, and air polishing on the surface roughness of scaled human teeth. The study aims to determine which polishing method is most effective in minimizing roughness and preventing plaque accumulation, thus contributing to improved oral health practices.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
After ultrasonic scaling, teeth will be polished using a bristle brush attached to a low-speed contra-angle handpiece with prophylaxis paste in a circular motion for 10 seconds.
After ultrasonic scaling, teeth will be polished using a rubber cup attached to a low-speed contra-angle handpiece with prophylaxis paste in a circular motion for 10 seconds.
After ultrasonic scaling, teeth will be polished using sodium bicarbonate air polishing with an air polishing device in a circular motion for 10 seconds.
Teeth in the control group will undergo ultrasonic scaling only, with no additional polishing procedures.
