Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of sonic and manual toothbrushes using the $L{\ddot{o}}e$ and Silness plaque index (PI). This was an examiner-blind, randomized study with a cross-over design. A total of 34 children (17 males and 17 females) aged 3-6 years were included. Subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: one group used the sonic brush for two weeks before using the manual brush for two weeks, while the other group used the manual brush for two weeks followed by the sonic brush. During each dental visit, plaque indices were recorded and compared to baseline. The results were analyzed using a paired t-test or Pearson correlation test (${\alpha}=0.05$). Thirty children (mean age 4.37 years) complied with the protocol and completed the study. The PI score was 0.09 lower compared to baseline after using a manual toothbrush and 0.26 lower after using the sonic brush. The reduction was statistically significantly greater in the sonic group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the sonic toothbrush is more effective for reducing plaque than a manual toothbrush.

본 연구의 목적은 $L{\ddot{o}}e$ & Silness의 치태지수를 사용하여 음파 칫솔과 일반 칫솔의 효과를 비교하는 것이다. 연세대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 내원한 전신질환이 없는 3-6세 어린이 34명을 대상으로 교차설계, 연구자에 대한 눈가림법을 사용한 무작위 대조군 연구가 진행되었다. 연구 참여자는 2개의 군으로 무작위로 나누어져 음파 칫솔과 일반 칫솔을 번갈아 2주씩 사용하였고, 칫솔질 전후 구강위생상태를 $L{\ddot{o}}e$ & Silness의 치태지수를 사용하여 측정하여 차이를 비교하였다. 음파 칫솔 사용 후 $0.26{\pm}0.28$, 일반 칫솔 사용 후 $0.09{\pm}0.22$의 치태지수 감소를 보였고, 이는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.05). 성별과 나이에 따른 음파 칫솔의 치태 제거 효과는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p > 0.05). 연구 결과, 3-6세 어린이에서 음파 칫솔이 일반 칫솔에 비해 치태 제거 효과는 좋았고, 성별과 연령에 따른 치태 제거 효과의 차이는 나타나지 않았다.
