Q

ideal tooth brush features

handle size
head size
use of _ filaments
use of soft bristle configurations
bristle patterns which enhance interdental plaque removal
A

small size handle and head to reach posterior areas

use of end-rounded nylon or polyester filaments

we want soft brushes because somestimes too aggressive on the gingiva

Q

explain in general toothbrushing frequency and duration study

A

for 6 weeks following a patient
12-48 hours of not brushing for 2 minutes didn’t really make a difference

we still recommend 3x a day because patients don’t brush for the full 2 minutes

2 minutes accepted to get big reduction in plqaue but after 2 minutes it slows

19
Q

rounded or cut ended filaments for brush

A

rounded ends produce less trauma to gingival tissues

20
Q

toothbrushes can effectively remove plaque for at least _ months and that after _ weeks one should consider replacement

A

2 months
9 weeks

2 weeks for interproximal brushes

21
Q

big picture about powered toothbrushes

A

powered brushes with a rotation oscillation action provice slightly better plaque removal and may provide better protection against gingival inflammation than manual

Rotation and oscillation action are better

Not recommended for every patient because costly - we give to patients that have manual brushing problems - also for too aggressive brushing

22
Q

Dentifrice(toothpaste) effects on periodontal health

Supragingival plaque control is necessary to reduce _

A

gingival inflammation

appropriate brushing and flossing can reduce supragingival plaque

23
Q

toothpaste ingredients

for plaque and stain removal - can cause root sensitivity

make up 10-50%

A
abrasives
~Ca-phosphates
~Ca-pyrophosphates
~Hydrated Silica
~Alumina
~Ca-Carbonate
~Na-Bicarbonate

abrasion depends on particle hardness, size, and shape

24
Q

toothpaste ingredients

therapeutic 0.2-1.5%

replace Ca in hydroxyappatite

A

fluorides

sodium fluoride
monofluoro-phosphate MFP
stabilized stannous fluoride

25
Q

toothpaste ingredients

therapeutic 0.2-1.5%

_ only thing in toothpaste to help control inflammation or bleeding

A

Triclosan

Triclosan - only thing in toothpaste to help control inflammation

Patient has bleeding gums - we might want to give them a toothpaste with Triclosan

26
Q

toothpaste ingredients

40-70%, act to retain moisture and prevent the toothpaste from hardening on exposure to air. Glycerol, sorbitol, Xylitol and propylene glycol are commonly used.

also sweeten the toothpaste, though this is not their main function.

A

humectants

27
Q

toothpaste ingredients

foaming agents
thickening agents 0-12%
flavoring agents 0.8-1.5%

_0.5-2% mainly a foaming agent, which enables uniform distribution of toothpaste, improving its cleansing power.

A

surfactants

Na-lauryl-sulfate - Irium - SLS

Na-N-lauroyl sarcosinate 0 - Gardol

28
Q

which is more statistically and clinically effective in reducing plaque

triclosan/copolymer dentifrice or fluoride dentifrice

A
  • flouride better - tricolsan for bledding gumms

more effective at reducing gingival inflammation too

29
Q

compare stannous fluoride to triclosan

A

stannous fluoride has anti-inflammatory effects but it causes staining

triclosan does not cause staining, only thing to activly reduce bleeding,

30
Q

why use mouth rinse?

A

teeth only make up 25% of the oral cavity

biofilms cover the entire mouth, not just teeth

liquid carries actives to all areas of the mouth

plaque biofilm cannot be managed by tooth brushing and flossing alone

31
Q

Phenols, quaternary ammonium compounds, bisbiguanides, herbal extracts are examples of _

how?

A

both gram positive nand negative bacteria

Q

what kind of mouthwash?

ruptures bacteria cell membrane, leading to rapid leakage of cell contents and cell death

may alter bacterial metabolism inhibitiing cell growth

A

cpc cepacol

39
Q

what kind of mouthwash?

non-selectively and rapidly disrupts bacteria cell wall

reduces plaque endotoxin levels and pathogencity for gingivitis

A

EO essential oils - listerine

40
Q

what kind of mouthwash?

kills bacteria by altering the permeability of the cell membrane of the bacteria. this alteration causes the bacteria cell to leak. which eventually kills the bacteria

used to treat gingivitis and bleeding gums
