Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a slim bristled toothbrush compared with a V-shaped orthodontic toothbrush in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Methods: Thirty four orthodontic patients receiving edgewise treatment were randomly assigned to two groups, a slim bristled toothbrush (Nano silver slim care) and a V-shaped toothbrush (Oral-B). Plaque index, gingival index and bleeding index were recorded at the beginning of the study (baseline), 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks after new toothbrushes were supplied and the results were analyzed statistically. Results: No statistically significant differences were found for plaque index, gingival index and bleeding index between toothbrush groups during the 6 weeks. Plaque and gingival indices were decreased at 2 weeks and 4 weeks but increased at 6 weeks in both toothbrush groups. Bleeding index in the V-shaped toothbrush group showed the lowest value at 2 weeks then increased at 4 weeks and 6 weeks but in the slim bristled toothbrush group decreased from 2 weeks through 6 weeks to under baseline levels. Patients in their twenties had significantly lower values than teenagers in the slim bristled toothbrush group (p < 0.013). Conclusions: The results would suggest that both of the toothbrushes are equally effective but the use of a slim bristled toothbrush may be of benefit in promoting gingival health for fixed orthodontic appliance patients in their twenties and over.

본 연구는 고정식 교정장치 장착환자에서 V형 교정칫솔과 비교하여 슬림모 칫솔의 구강위생관리 효과를 평가해보기 위해 시행되었다. 고정식 교정장치를 장착하여 치료를 받고 있는 환자 34명(평균연령 $21.9\;{\pm}\;7.5$세)을 대상으로 무작위로 슬림모 칫솔(Nano silver slim $care.34^{TM}$, Aiio, Seoul, Korea)을 사용한 군과 V형 교정칫솔(Oral-B Laboratories Ltd., P&G Korea, Seoul, Korea)을 사용한 군으로 구분한 후 연구시작 시(Baseline), 2주 후, 4주 후 및 6주 후에 걸쳐서 하나의 칫솔을 교환하지 않고 변형 바스법으로 하루 2회 2분씩 닦도록 하여 치태지수, 치은염지수 및 치은출혈지수를 측정하고 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과 6주간의 실험기간에 걸쳐 슬림모 칫솔군과 V형 교정칫솔군 간에 치태지수, 치은염지수 및 치은출혈지수 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 실험시기에 따른 변화에 대해서 두 칫솔군 모두 치태지수와 치은염지수는 연구시작 시를 기점으로 점차적으로 감소하여 4주 후에 저점을 보이고 6주 후에는 다시 상승하였고, 치은출혈지수의 경우는 V형 교정칫솔군의 경우 2주 후에 최저점을 보이다가 4주 후와 6주 후에는 점차적으로 상승하는 양상을 보인 반면 슬림모 치솔군의 경우 연구시작 시부터 6주 후까지 점차적으로 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 연령에 따른 두 칫솔군 간의 구강위생 관리 효과 비교에서 슬림모 칫솔군은 치태지수와 치은염 지수에서 20대가 10대에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 작은 수치를 보였다 (p < 0.013). 이상의 연구 결과로 고정식 교정장치로 치료받는 환자에서 두 칫솔 모두 구강위생관리에 동일하게 효과적이었으나 20대 이상의 성인 교정환자에서 슬림모 칫솔이 V형 교정칫솔보다 치태제거 효과가 더 우수함을 보여 도움이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다.
