Advance Oral Cleaning Device

  • Prashant Kumar

Abstract

In order to prevent the incidence of dental diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease, routine mechanical removal of bacterial plaque is necessary. The comprehensive regular removal of dental plaque and debris using intra-oral cleaning devices includes oral hygiene activities. Tooth brushes are the oral hygiene aids most widely used. As technology improved, as an alternative to manual tooth brushing, powered toothbrushes came into being. The driven toothbrush was designed to assist individuals with difficulties with manual dexterity or other physical disabilities. In many styles and modes of operation, they are available. The early models had a basic back and forth motion and plaque control was ineffective. The popularity of powered toothbrushes increased with the advent of newer models that integrated the rotation oscillation action (ROA) and optional characteristics such as timer, pressure sensor and Bluetooth. The use of a powered toothbrush is now indicated not only for individuals with various skills, but also for the general public. A matter of constant discussion is the superiority of the powered toothbrush over the manual brush in terms of plaque reduction and periodontal health improvement.
