Rationale for Biofilm Control5

Definition

The removal of microbial plaque and food debris from dental hard surfaces through abrasion using physical means such as brushes, floss and other devices.

Patient Perspective on Oral Wellbeing6

Rationale: A patient’s perspective

  • To achieve oral wellbeing
  • To feel clean and fresh
  • To have a nice smile
  • To reduce bad breath

Clinical Perspective on Disease Prevention7

Rationale: A dentist’s perspective

  • Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
  • Caries
  • Systemic effects

Systemic Effects and Self-Cleansing Limitations89

Rationale: Systemic effects

  • Natural self-cleansing mechanisms have limited effect on plaque build-up.
  • Biofilm adherence to teeth is tenacious and cannot be removed by rinsing alone or chemical dissolution.
  • Triple Action reduces tartar buildup, cleans teeth, freshens breath.

Impact on Gum Disease and Caries1011

Rationale: Gum disease

  • Regular personal plaque removal measures must be undertaken to achieve and maintain periodontal health.
  • Biofilm removal and control is fundamental to prevention and control of periodontal diseases Chapple et al 2015
  • Supragingival plaque control can modify the quantity and composition of sub gingival plaque, but by itself cannot treat moderate and severe periodontitis Lindhe et al 1989

Rationale: Caries

  • The evidence for toothbrushing itself to reduce caries is weak and inconsistent Addy 1986

More important than brushing (when considering caries), the toothbrush is an effective vehicle for fluoride toothpaste.

  • National surveys in Finland Mattila et al 2010 and Germany Jordan et al 2014 have found a strong associated between caries and attachment loss in adults, but no attempts were made to expose to what extent this associated was explained by common risk factors Jepsen et al 2017. Therefore we cannot conclude poor plaque control caused their carious lesions.

Diagnosis

STEP 1 Building foundations for optimal treatment outcomes

I: Explain disease, risk factors & treatment alternatives, risks & benefits including no treatment

II: Explain importance of Oral Hygiene (OH), encourage and support behaviour change for OH improvement

III: Reduce risk factors including removal of plaque retentive features, smoking cessation and diabetes control interventions

IV: Provide individually tailored OH advice including interdental cleaning, + / - adjunctive efficacious toothpaste & mouthwash, + /- Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) including supra and subgingival scaling of the clinical crown

V: Select recall period following published guidance and considering risk factors such as smoking and diabetes

VI: Oral Health Educator (I, II), Hygienist, Therapist (I – IV), Dentist, Practitioner accredited for Level 2 and 3 care (I – V)

Steps of Periodontal Treatment

Periodontitis (continued)

Pre-Dental Hygiene Education STEP 2 Subgingival Instrumentation (root surface debridement / PMPR on root) Reinforce OH, risk factor control, behaviour change Subgingival instrumentation, hand or powered (sonic / ultrasonic), either alone or in combination Use of adjunctive systemic antimicrobials determined by Practitioner accredited for Level 2 and 3 care

Re-e-evaluate afger 3 monthis Unstable Step 3 Managing non-responding sites: Reinforce OH, risk factor control, behaviour change Moderate (4–5mm) residual pockets – re-perform subgingival instrumentation Deep residual pocketing (≥6mm). Consider alternative causes Consider referral for pocket management or regenerative surgery If referral not possible, re-perform subgingival instrumentation (If all sites stable after step 3, proceed to step 4) Step 4 Maintenance Supportive periodontal care strongly encouraged Reinforce OH, risk factor control, behaviour change Regular targeted PMPR as required to limit tooth loss Consider evidence based adjunctive efficacious toothpaste and / or mouthwash to control gingival inflammation

Maintenance recall (step 4) – individuals tailored intervals from 3-12 months

Steps of Periodontal Treatment

I: Patients should be made aware that regular effective self-performed plaque removal offers the largest treatment benefit – engage the patient in a verbal contract to perform daily plaque control
II: Toothbrushing should be supplemented by the use of interdental brushes (where anatomically possible)
III: Individual patient’s abilities, needs, preferences and manual dexterity should be considered when selecting toothbrush & interdental brush
IV: Refer to BSP website for further clarification and glossary of terms

Defining engaging & non-engaging patients (this is a guide)

  • Angled bristle tuft design scored higher in manual brushes Slot et al 2012
  • Oscillating-rotating brushes appear to reduce plaque and gingivitis more than side to side electric brushes in the short term and also to be safer to the hard and soft tissues compared to manual brushes Van der Weijden & Slot 2015
  • Dexterity, brushing time and technique, type of brush used, frequency important.
  • Crowding/spacing/gingival phenotype and the gingival changes after periodontal treatment influence choice of aids

Electric Toothbrushes33

Features of Oscillating-rotating brushes34

  • Braun Oral B
  • 3D movements
  • High frequency vibrations
  • Pressure monitoring

It appears that oscillating-rotating brushes reduce plaque and gingivitis more than side to side electric brushes in the short term and are also safer to the hard and soft tissues compared to manual brushes.

Source: Van der Weijden & Slot 2015

  • Sonic
    • High frequency filament movement creating a turbulent flow
    • Phillips Sonicare, HiSmile
    • Not as effective as oscillating-rotating [van der Sluijs et al 2020]

Maintenance and General Conclusions35

When to replace?36

  • 3-monthly
  • Or when it looks like this:
Wear scoresDescription
0 – No wearNo visible signs of wear, inner and outer tufts are intact
1 – Light wearOuter tufts begin to splay, inner tufts are still intact
2 – Medium wearOuter tufts are splayed beyond the base of the toothbrush, inner tufts begin to splay
3 – Heavy wearOuter and inner tufts are splayed
4 – Extreme wearOuter and inner tufts are splayed whereby no distinction can be made
  • No 1 superior technique Hansen & Gjermo 1971
  • Average time spent on toothbrushing between 30-60s, only 10% of that on lingual surfaces
  • Bosman and Powell 1977 and Lang et al 1973 showed once daily or every other day thorough cleaning can reverse gingivitis in dental students
  • Quality of cleaning more important than frequency Bjerctness 1991
  • Brush twice daily, for at least 2 minutes with a fluoride toothpaste is the current recommendation
  • Professional instruction is important
  • No toothbrush can clean interproximally
Wear scores Description

Interdental Cleaning37

  • Toothbrushes do not reach interproximally.
  • Residual plaque remains on the interproximal surfaces of premolars and molars after toothbrushing.
  • Gingivitis, periodontitis and dental caries occur more frequently in the interdental region than on oral and facial surfaces.
  • Choice of method should be personalised to each patient and each interdental space, and needs to be reviewed and possibly modified.

*does not replace flossing

SituationInterdental cleaning method
Intact interdental papillae; narrow interdental spaceDental floss or small woodstick/rubber/elastomeric interdental cleaning stick
Moderate papillary recession; slightly open interdental spaceDental floss, woodstick/rubber/elastomeric interdental cleaning stick or small interdental brush
Complete loss of papillae; wide open interdental spaceInterdental brush
Wide embrasure space; diastema, extraction diastema, furcation or posterior surface of most distal molar, root concavities or groovesSingle-tufted/end-tufted brush or gauze strip

Table 28-1 Interdental cleaning methods recommended for particular situations in the mouth.

Dental Floss3940414243

“It’s low risk, low cost,” he said.

“We know there’s a possibility that it works, so we feel comfortable telling people to go ahead and do it.”

National Institutes of Health dentist Tim Iafolla Associated Press, 2021 https://apnews.com/article/f7e66079d9ba4b4985d7af350619a9e3

  • Most frequently recommended method

  • Ideal for crowded spaces and when the papillae fill the embrasure spaces.

  • When properly used can remove up to 80% of proximal plaque and can reach 2-3.5mm subgingivally. Carnio 2009

  • Waxed (tight contacts)

  • Unwaxed (solid contacts, thinnest and separates during use to cover a wider surface area)

  • Avoid using floss around exposed rough surfaces of dental implants Montevecchi et al 2016, Van Velzen et al 2016

  • Difficult to master, special holders available

  • Time consuming

  • Several systematic reviews and a meta-review have shown no benefit from flossing Sälzer et al 2015

  • Flossing was only shown to be effective in reducing interproximal caries (by 40%) when applied professionally although this benefit was not seen in self performed flossing and when fluoridated toothpaste was used. Hujoel et al 2006

  • Again, despite the weak evidence of benefit, self or parental-performed flossing should be a routine part of oral biofilm control if no other interdental cleaning devices can be used.

Interdental Brushes44

  • Highly effective plaque removal especially where root concavities, grooves and for Gr III furcation defects
  • Most effective interdental cleaning method Sälzer et al 2015
  • Easy to use
  • More effective than floss in plaque removal and pocket reduction
  • Can clean 2-2.5mm subgingivally
  • Caution - overuse/incorrect use can cause soft and hard tissue damage
  • Wire can cause damage to implant surfaces

Wood and Rubber Sticks454647

  • Wooden sticks - one of humanities oldest interdental cleaners

  • Toothpicks - circular, for food debris

  • Wooden sticks - triangular, soft wood, easy to use, useful if there is enough space interproximally, can clean subgingival plaque but can traumatise papillae if incorrectly used

  • Elastomeric cleaning sticks

  • Massages gum, dislodges food

  • Few studies to date, mostly showing no reduction in plaque and gingivitis score

  • Safe and popular with patients

Other Oral Hygiene Methods

Tongue Cleaning4849

The dorsum of the tongue harbours a great number of microorganisms which can disseminate to other parts of the mouth.

Tongue microbes can contribute to bad breath.

Hence tongue brushing has been advocated as part of daily home care.

However, conflicting evidence on tongue brushing and new plaque formation — insufficient evidence to recommend frequency, duration or delivery (Kuo et al 2013).

Water Flossers and Emerging Technologies50

  • Uses water jet
  • Conflicting evidence to show adjunctive benefit
  • Removes food, debris, loose plaque
  • Can be used to deliver antiseptic 3mm subgingivally
  • Potential bacteraemia?
  • Can be painful
  • Useful around implants
  • Messy

Used in hospital settings when toothbrushing cannot be performed adequately.

  • Foam brushes/swabs
  • Gauze
  • Finger brushes

Dentifrices53

“a powder, paste, or liquid for cleaning the teeth”

  • Plaque removal is dependent on mechanical contact of brush to teeth, rather than the abrasive nature of the toothpaste and more plaque can be removed without the use of toothpaste Paraskevas et al 2007 Jayakumar et al 2010
  • Compliance to toothbrushing is much lower without toothpaste Dudding et al 1960
