Walmsley^* Fotir cotnmercially avaiiable electric toothbrushes (Sonieare, Braun Electric Toothbrush, Interplak, and Blend-a-Dent) »ere assessed both for their operating characteristics and their ability to retnove a 'food debris " medium. The Sonieare and Blend-a-Dent have a lateral vibrator)' action, while the Interplak and Braun produce a rotary movement of the brush head. The vibratory action of the Sonieare was susceptible to loading. All devices produced both stable-pulsating cavitation and acoustic tnicrostreaming that was demonstrated in vitro using a suspension of particles in water Their effectiveness in removing a food debris medium was assessed with and without water Three of the brushes (Sonieare, Braun, and Blend-a- Dent) were simitar in their abllit}- to remove the placjue, and all were superior to the Interplak: its streaming forces removed no food debris. The results indicated that the Blend-a-Dent was the most effective brush design in vitro, although the differences between Blend-a-Dent and Sonieare were not statistically significant. (Quintessence Int 1995:26:841-848.) Introduction The early designs of electric toothbrushes generated a transverse {side-to-side) movement, and this motion Electric toothbrushes have become established as an is stih prominent in those presently avaiiable. Other effective alternative to manual methods of tooth- variations include rotation of small individual tufts and brushing. The mode of action of these brushes is a rotary longitudinal movement of the brush head. designed to simulate manual methods and as such is Reports on the effectiveness of a toothbrush with a attractive to the population as an easy and simple rotational movement suggest that it may be superior in method of brushing teeth.

    Bathroom Tip Sheet.Pdf

    tip sheet 148 advanced parkinson’s Bathroom Bathing, toileting, personal hygiene and grooming are basic activities of daily living that advancing Parkinson’s makes more challenging. The following tips will help make these activities easier. Using the Toilet » Bladder changes in Parkinson’s may create the need to use the toilet more frequently, so create a regular toileting schedule to help decrease accidents during the day. » Limit fluid intake during the evening hours if the person with Parkinson’s has difficulty getting up at night. (It is still important to have adequate fluid intake during the day to prevent dehydration and manage constipation.) » Use a stool softener such as Miralax (recommended by the American Academy of Neurology for treating constipation in PD) to help produce more regular bowel movements. Avoid bulk fiber laxatives, as these require significant fluid consumption to work properly. » Install an elevated toilet or place an elevated seat on the existing toilet to make getting on and off the toilet easier. Some elevated seats have sturdy arm rests attached, or a grab bar can be installed on the wall next to the toilet. This can be helpful to hold onto before pivoting to sit down, or to hold when standing up during the process of hygiene/wiping and clothing adjustment. » Make sure your loved one gets close enough to the toilet seat with body properly aligned before attempting to sit down. Marking the floor with colored tape may help to signal proper foot placement during the transfer. » Have moist, flushable hygiene wipes available in addition to toilet paper to achieve proper cleaning after toileting.

    Comparison of Powered and Manual Toothbrushes for Plaque Removal by 4- to 5-Year-Old Children Joseph Silverman, DMD, MBA R

    Scientific Article Comparison of Powered and Manual Toothbrushes for Plaque Removal by 4- to 5-year-old Children Joseph Silverman, DMD, MBA R. Glenn Rosivack, DMD, MS Pamela B. Matheson, MA, PhD Milton I. Houpt, DDS, PhD Dr. Silverman is a former postdoctoral student, Dr. Rosivack is clinical professor, and Dr. Houpt is professor and chair, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Matheson is associate dean for Planning and Assessment, New Jersey Dental School, Newark, NJ. Correspond with Dr. Silverman at [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This study compared the small head Oralgiene 60 Second Time Machine pow- ered toothbrush, used for 60 seconds, with the Braun Oral-B Mickey Mouse powered toothbrush and a manual toothbrush (Oral-B Rugrats 20), each used for 2 minutes, for efficacy in plaque removal and reduction of gingival inflammation in young children. Methods: Fifty-eight children, ages 4 to 5 years old, were randomly assigned to one of the 3 toothbrush groups. At visit 1, plaque and gingival indices were recorded for all subjects. Then, the children did not brush for 24 hours. At visit 2, 24 hours later, plaque indices were recorded, the children brushed with their assigned toothbrush, and plaque indices were recorded again. Six weeks later, plaque and gingival indices were recorded again. The data was analyzed to detect plaque reduction after a one-time use (visit 2, prebrushing and postbrushing) as well as plaque and gingival inflammation reduction after 6 weeks of use. Results: The Oralgiene toothbrush removed significantly more plaque during the one- time trial and reduced significantly more gingival inflammation during the 6-week trial.
