Please build the conversation from each other. Dental Plaque White, grayish or yellow & globular appearance Typically observed on gingival third of tooth Location & rate of formation vary depending on oral hygiene, diet, and salivary composition & flow rate. Detect with explorer, probe, and/or disclosing solution Gross Plaque Dental Plaque • Primary etiologic factor in dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis • Host-associated biofilm • Composed of more than 600 types of microorganisms appearing as soft deposits that form the biofilm • Adhering to the tooth surface or other hard surfaces in the oral cavity, including removable and fixed restorations • Organized intercellular matrix Calculus (a.k.a.-Tartar) • Hard deposit that forms by mineralization of dental plaque • Generally covered by soft layer of un-mineralized plaque • Functions to retain plaque and keep plaque closer to gingival epithelium • Increases rate of plaque accumulation Calculus Formation Mineralization of dental plaque Can begin as early as 4 hours after plaque formation Can begin as late at 14 days after plaque formation Clinical significance—retains plaque close to the gingival tissues Note: Some plaque never mineralizes Mineralized Plaque: (calculus or tartar) Covered by a soft layer of bacterial plaque C D Caries (C) and Demineralization (D) caused by supra-gingival plaque Therapeutic Goals of Plaque Control • Minimize inflammation • Prevent recurrence or progression of periodontal disease and caries Disclosing Tablets Disclosing a patient • Available as tablets . Move the patient chair to upright position, • Temporary “stain” show patient disclosed plaque (using a hand • Will not penetrate mirror) surfaces of crowns or composite restorations . Relate the disclosed • May be temporarily plaque with disease retained in defective process previously tooth surfaces or noted, comparing margins of restorations patient’s plaque free score to goal of (80%) Disclosing the Patient Manual Toothbrushes Toothbrushes • Should be soft nylon brush with rounded bristles • Used with light to moderate pressure against tooth surfaces • Size of brush should be small enough to access all areas of patient’s mouth • Should be replaced about every 3 months 1890 21st century Bass Sulcular Brushing Technique • Place the brush so that the bristles will enter the sulcus at approximately a 45° angle (we tell patients to angle toward the gum line) • Gently vibrate the bristles in short circular strokes with enough pressure to blanch gingiva slightly. • Repeat motion several times at each site (3 teeth) and continue until all teeth have been brushed. •Recommend that the patient sets a pattern as to not miss any areas in the mouth Have a pattern set. Always start in the same area in the mouth in order not to miss any surface. End tuft brush—for hard to reach spots -Pointed or Flat Ended -Orthodontics, -bridges (under pontics), -edentulous areas -furcation - root concavities-distal of last molars in a quadrant. End Tuft Use the endtuft around teeth that the partial sits up against or the terminal tooth in an arch Electric Tooth Brushes/Power Brushes Oral B Sonicare by Philips Short Tip between the teeth, sweeping under the gums, and under braces Hollow Tip clean and polish the large surfaces of the teeth as well as sweep under the gums Long Tip large spaces occur between teeth, when roots are exposed, under fixed bridges, in certain Average cost $125.00 areas where braces are being worn, or where additional periodontal conditions exist FLOSS Floss • Thickness- regular/fine/tape • Waxed/un-waxed • w/fluoride • Expanding • Monofilament •Teflon coated Personal preference-depending on needs of patient: tight contacts, rough interproximal restorations, open contacts,etc. Flossing technique -12”- 18” floss -wrap around middle fingers and use index finger and thumb -guide floss gently through contact area into sulcus -Adapt the floss to the tooth surface with a “C-wrap” -scrape the floss in a coronal direction against the tooth several times to disrupt plaque -when in between 2 teeth-2 surfaces to floss Note that the floss is wrapped around a finger NOT working to adapt the floss to the sides of the teeth. Note that the “working area” of floss is approximately half an inch. Demo: -Floss is gently through the contact into the sulcus -Moved in a coronal direction -Scraping the proximal surface of each tooth, under the papilla Different types of floss aides/floss holders Floss Holders -good for patients who cannot maneuver floss -same technique-stroking the proximal surface -use one hand -good for less motivated patients -good for patients that may have a disability leaving them with dexterity issues Floss fingers are available in the clinic Floss Threader Monofilament loop which can be inserted between abutment tooth and pontic at the gingival margin . Floss is then carried through as the open loop passes through the embrasure. Note: Pontic is the term for the artificial tooth (P) that is connected on both P a sides to “abutment a teeth” (a) in a fixed partial denture, aka “bridge”. Floss Flossthreaders abutment abutment pontic threader Superfloss Thick, fuzzy section to use under pontic or between splinted teeth Regular floss Stiff area similar to floss threaders Gum EasyThread Floss Floss Limitations Floss may not remove plaque from concavities on proximal surfaces. These areas may need to be accessed with other specific aids such as inter-proximal brushes or an end tuft brush. Interdental Brush- Proxabrush Interdental brushes are effective aids for plaque removal in wide proximal areas, especially when concavities are present. Snap On Heads Snap On System Hinged Head Soft-picks- Sunstar Butler Travel size proxabrushes The proxabrush is slightly angled away from the gingival margin. This way we do not injure the gum line/avelor bone. The proxabrush is cleaning the interproximal surface around the implant. Note the wire is blue. The blue means the wire is coved in nylon and is safe to use adjacent an implant.

Gauze can be refolded and used like floss to clean proximal surfaces of teeth adjacent to edentulous areas. Interdental Stimulators Interdental stimulators are often available on tooth brush handles or as individual aids. They are designed to stimulate the gingiva to achieve improved tissue tone. Can remove food debris, materia alba and substantial plaque, but NOT effective for complete plaque removal. They are usually made out of rubber. They work great on tissues that are hyperplastic. Rubbertip Stimulator Patient Demo Dentifrices Have emulsifiers (sodium laurel sulfate) to aid in plaque removal. Some patients are allergic to SLS. Fluoride - proven caries prevention by re- mineralization of the tooth surface Tartar control – pyrophosphate helps to delay calcification of plaque ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate) - new advancement in caries control. Can be paired with CCP (casein phosphopeptide). Dry brushing is actually more effective at plaque removal.

Active brushing of the teeth is required to remove the plaque which adheres to tooth surfaces. It is a well-accepted fact that dental plaque, when allowed to accumulate on tooth surfaces, can eventually lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease, caries and calculus. Thus, it is apparent that effective removal of deposits of dental plaque is absolutely essential for oral health. Accordingly, proper oral hygiene practices which may be carried out by an individual on his or her own teeth or by a dentist would be facilitated by readily available means of identification and location of plaque deposits in the oral cavity. Key words: Dental plaque; Disclosing agent; F.D. & C.; Plaque Control.

ABSTRACT Despite revolutionary advances in all fields of dentistry, a critical factor in the success of any treatment program is patient compliance. A number of factors are involved in encouraging and ensuring cooperative patients including effective communication which is vital in motivating and educating patient. Dentist must consider many factors to gain a true assessment of his patient. Throughout this article we will explore what influences patient compliance and review methods used in dental literature. Keywords: Compliance, adherence, patient satisfaction, dental plaque Introduction Teeth are like precious gems and stones of a person, Role of compliance factor in dentistry which if maintained properly throughout one’s life, are good for his own physical, social and psychological well Many people are not so much concerned about their oral being.
