Objective: Interdental brush can be used at proximal area of the interdental space and prosthodontic or orthodontic appliance where is hard to access by use of normal toothbrush. It is well known that lots of oral microorganism would be inside of gingival pocket at the proximal area and it should be eliminated with clean way.
Methods: The author has measured the amounts of the oral microorganism at proximal area by use of adenosine triphosphate unit (SURE PlusTM) for 50 adults volunteers, after using the interdental brush and after sterilization with cethyl pyridium chloride (CPC) solution, through inserting the tip of the interdental brush into the CPC solution for a minute with shaking it. Amounts of oral microorganism at proximal area were measured as relative light units (RLU) unit and gingival index with Loe and Silness index and gingival pocket depth were measured, in order to find the relation between the amounts of oral microorganism and their Value, by use of Pearson’s co-relation coefficient.
Results: The results were as followings: 1. Oral microorganism at the tip of interdental brush afterusing at the proximal area was checked as average 9,492.9±407.2 RLU and a little decreased value as 8,959.8±485.4 RLU on proximal area after applying of CPC solution (p＜0.01). Otherwise the least value was revealed as 4,766.8±2,829.7 RLU after applying the used tip of interdental brush at the proximal area, by inserting into the CPC solution and shaking for a minute (p＜0.01). 2. Average 9,475.6±368.2 RLU at proximal area was revealed before mouth rinsing with CPC solution, buta little bit decreased as 8,792.9±620.1 RLU, after a minute mouth rinsing with CPC solution (p＜0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the results, we concluded that disinfection and cleaning method by inserting the interdental brush tip in CPC solution and shaking for a minute, is clinically recommended to keep the tip clean after use at the proximal area.
