Summary

Objective

1. To determine the optimum brushing force for dental plaque removal.
2. To investigate the effect of brushing force on enamel characteristic.

Hypothesis H0 : Structural tooth loss is not significantly different between before and after brushing with excessive force on enamel surface.

H1 : Structural tooth loss is significantly different between before and after brushing with excessive force on enamel surface.

Study design: Experimental study

Conditions

  • the Optimum Brushing Force for Dental Plaque Removal and the Effect of Brushing Force on Enamel Characteristic

Interventions

PROCEDURE

brushing force

Using duplication method, vertical force was applied from 1-5.5 N in linear mesial-distal brushing motion at 4 strokes per second for 5 seconds Force was increase 0.5 N in every testing until plaque was completely removed from enamel surface
