Evaluation of the efficacy of a commercially available regimen vs brushing alone on established plaque and gingivitis on adolescents: Study protocol for a randomized, controlled, blind clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Dental biofilm accumulation and poor personal oral hygiene are known major risk factors for gingivitis and halitosis. However, it is not clear how studies compare the effectiveness of hygiene regimens, associated with outcomes centered on patients. METHODS:A randomized, blind, controlled clinical trial involving 58 participants aged from 12 to 17 years, who search the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of Universidade Metropolitana de Santos, will be conducted. Immediately, the volunteers will be inserted into Group 1 (commercially available hygiene regimen) or Group 2 (tooth brushing alone). In Group 1, participants will receive Colgate Total 12 toothpastes, Plax mouthwashes and Colgate Ultrasoft toothbrushes, while Group 2 will use Colgate Cavity Protection toothpastes and Colgate Ultrasoft toothbrushes. The interventions will be conducted in the periods of 1, 3, and 6 months after the baseline, when the evaluations will also be performed. Biofilm and halitosis indexes will be evaluated. Data regarding discomfort, satisfaction and the socioeconomic/individual characteristics will also be computed. DISCUSSION:Although toothbrushing has shown positive effects in decreasing biofilm and in gingival health, there is no comparison in the literature of different brushing regimens with halitosis measurement in adolescents. In addition, the effectiveness of these protocols would be confirmed from the acceptability of the volunteers.

Project description:BackgroundResearch continues to show an association between oral health and systemic health, further stressing the importance of effective daily plaque removal via toothbrushing to maintain periodontal health and overall well-being. This investigation was undertaken to compare the efficacy of oscillating-rotating, sonic, and manual toothbrushes in reducing gingivitis and plaque in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with up to 6 months' follow-up.MethodsThis meta-analysis was conducted from a single database (Procter & Gamble Oral Care Clinical Archive) including RCTs from 2007 to 2022. Three authors independently assessed study eligibility. Disagreements concerning selected studies were resolved by discussion with an expert colleague. Direct and indirect treatment comparisons along with transition rates to gingival health were calculated using participant-level data. Transition-to-health time was calculated using data from all time points. Subregion analyses evaluated number of bleeding sites and plaque reduction.ResultsThis meta-analysis included 21 gingivitis RCTs and 25 plaque RCTs. Relative to manual and sonic brushes, oscillating-rotating brushes had a higher percentage of participants who transitioned to gingival health (72% vs 21% and 54%; P < .001). Compared with manual and sonic brushes, respectively, oscillating-rotating brushes demonstrated greater bleeding site reductions (by 52% and 29%; P < .001) and superior plaque reductions (by 19% and 5%; P < .001). Oscillating-rotating brushes provided faster transitions to health than sonic brushes and showed greater efficacy across subregions. The most advanced oscillating-rotating brush demonstrated statistically significantly greater efficacy compared with traditional oscillating-rotating, manual, and sonic brushes when analysed separately. Risk of bias was deemed low for all studies.ConclusionsOscillating-rotating toothbrushes offer superior results for transition to health, gingivitis, and plaque reduction compared with manual and sonic brushes. The most advanced oscillating-rotating model offers enhanced efficacy vs traditional models.
