Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in clinical indexes related to periodontitis, such as malodor, gingival and plaque indexes, during the adjuvant use of a high pressure oral irrigator (COMORAL®, SMDsolutions, Seoul, Korea) in volunteers.
Methods: We recruited 17 volunteers from an advertisement posted on Dankook University’s bulletin board. The oral malodor, gingival index, and plaque index of each volunteer were during the adjuvant use of a high pressure oral irrigator within a 4-week period.
Results: Routine tooth brushing was done together with the adjuvant use of a new high pressure oral irrigator in the 4-week period. The oral malodor, gingival index, and plaque index measured after 2 and 4 weeks of use significantly decreased (P ＜0.05) compared with the baseline values obtained before the start of the study.
Conclusions: The adjuvant use of a new high pressure oral irrigator with routine tooth brushing in volunteers may more effectively manage daily oral hygiene.
