Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three methods for removal of dental biofilm when compared to dental toothbrushing control. Twenty patients were diagnosed and randomized into four groups according to the method tested: 1) apple 2) Rolly Brush 3) chewing gum and 4) brushing control. Subjects were evaluated four times according to the method used. All were evaluated before performing any method and after using each of the four methods separately. The patient's evaluation interval was 24 hours between the use of the methods. In the first stage, they underwent a clinical examination in which the needs of supragingival scraping or definitive restorations and prophylaxis were detected. After this step, all methods of oral hygiene and the consumption of fibrous foods and chewing gum were suspended for twenty-four hours. In the second stage, with a minimum of twenty-four hours after the first, volunteers received approximately 10 ml of basic fucsin to perform a mouthwash. The dental examination was then carried out for measurement on each dental surface and the plaque index was recorded on each surface. In the latter, four evaluations were performed with at least a 24-hour interval until the patients used the four methods
