Abstract

This study aimed to compare the elimination effect of dental plaque between general toothbrushes and chewing toothbrushes, so as to investigate whether the chewing toothbrushes have the practicality as the alternatives of general toothbrushes and their utilities in the real life. The study subjects were 30 healthy adults in their 20s who maintained the good dental condition over 16 teeth without systemic diseases, and the decline rates of dental plaque index after usages of general and chewing toothbrushes were calculated. Upon the comparisons of dental plaque decline rates before and after the usages of general and chewing toothbrushes, PHI index was declined from 7.02 to 1.91 in case of the general toothbrush demonstrating dental plaque decline by 72.79%, while it was declined from 6.72 to 4.08 in the chewing toothbrush demonstrating decline by 39.29%. Currently, a variety of dental care items are available in the Korean market, hence, various studies are required on the dental care items so as for the people to properly choose the items.

본 연구에서는 일반 칫솔과 씹는 칫솔의 치면세균막 제거효과를 비교하고 이를 통해 현재 출시된 씹는 칫솔이 일반 칫솔의 대용품으로 사용할만한 실용성을 갖추고 있는지와 실생활에서의 활용도 여부 등을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상자는 전신 질환이 없으며 잔존치아 16개 이상 존재하는 구강상태가 양호한 20대의 건강한 성인 30명을 대상으로 하였으며, 일반칫솔과 씹는 칫솔 사용 후 치면세균막지수 감소율을 계산하였다. 일반 칫솔과 씹는 칫솔의 사용 전 후 치면세균막 감소효과를 비교한 결과, 일반 칫솔의 경우 PHP index는 7.02에서 1.91로 감소하여 치면세균막이 72.79% 감소한 결과를 나타내었으며, 씹는 칫솔은 6.72에서 4.08로 감소하여 치면세균막이 39.29% 감소한 결과를 나타내었다. 현재 국내에서는 다양한 구강관리용품이 출시되어 판매되고 있으며 일반인들의 올바른 구강관리용품 선택을 위하여 구강관리용품에 대한 다양한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
