Abstract:
Numerous studies have related dental caries experience
of children with the frequency of their tooth brushing
or with their oral cleanliness at the time of examination.
Conflicting results were obtained and, therefore, no
conclusions may be drawn from these studies. In other
studies, the incidence of new carious lesions over a number
of years, was related to oral cleanliness during the same
period of time. These studies showed that children with
good oral hygiene had a lower caries incidence than those
with poor oral hygiene, but the differences were small.
Tooth brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste, which is now
the usual practice, is effective in reducing caries incidence.
Flossing can remove plaque from a proximal tooth surfaces,
and there is some evidence that it can reduce caries
incidence. Dental caries can be largely prevented by highly
efficient removal of plaque by tooth brushing and flossing.
However, the available evidence suggests that regular
prophylaxis by dental personnel is essential to maintain
the necessary high level of efficiency. It is not known to
what extent individuals are capable of removing their own
plaque to the same high level of efficiency. It is probable
that only highly motivated individuals can maintain such a
high standard of plaque control.
