Abstract

The study was to expand the choice of electric toothbrush by number of operations of the plaque removal effect on the tooth surface. Three different toothbrushes were selected for oscillations and pulsations type of electric toothbrush. A is Oral-B D12 (7,600 pulsations), B is Oral-B D16 (20,000 oscillations and a 7,600 pulsations), C is Oral-B D20 (40,000 oscillations and an 8,800 pulsations). In each trial, each tooth was brushed for 2 seconds. For the 10 trials. And each tooth was coated with 1layer, 2layers and 3layers. After the experiment, the plaque removal effect was calculated and analzed using the Image J program(p<0.05). According to the study, C toothbrush had the highest rate of plaque removal effect. Based on this results of the study, dental worker will need to evaluate oral hygiene and recommend appropriate toothbrushes according to oral conditions.

본 연구는 진동회전 방식의 전동칫솔의 진동, 회전에 따른 치면세균막 제거율을 실험하여 전동칫솔 선택의 폭을 넓히고자 하였다. 진동회전타입의 전동칫솔 중 진동회전수가 다른 칫솔 3가지를 선정하였다. A: Oral-B D12(7,600회 회전), B: Oral-B D16(20,000회 진동, 7,600회 회전), C: Oral-B D20(40,000회 진동, 8,800회 회전). 세가지 칫솔의 세정력을 확인하기 위해 인공치면세균막을 치아에 1회, 2회, 3회 코팅하여 각 10회씩 2초간 세정하였다. 실험 후 잔여치면세균막를 촬영하여 Image J 프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다(p<0.05). 연구에 따르면, 코팅한 모든 치면의치면세균막 제거율이 C칫솔이 가장 높았다. 연구결과를 토대로 치과종사자는 구강위생환경을 평가 한 후, 구강상태에 따른 적절한 칫솔의 추천과 교육이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
