Abrasive effect of a rotating electrical toothbrush on dentin.

The Rota-dent brush has been compared to conventional manual toothbrushes as to the abrasive effect on the dentin. Thirty-two teeth were embedded in epoxyresin. The test blocks were ground and polished, thereafter brushed with Jordan Soft, Jordan Blå Kjerne, Wisdom Plaque Master (hard) and three different Rota-dent brushes, Standardpoint, Hollow-cup and Longpoint. The brushing experiment was made in a test chamber filled with distilled water. After the brushing, the profiles of the brushtracks on the blocks were measured. On all the blocks, small tracks appeared which were not measurable. Conventional toothbrushes and Rota-Dent brushes used without dentifrice gave minimal abrasion on the dentin.

An epidemiologic approach to toothbrushing and dental abrasion.

Abrasion lesions were recorded in 818 individuals representing the adult population of 430,000 residents of the Stockholm region, Sweden. The subjects were asked about toothbrushing habits, toothbrush quality and dentifrice usage; these factors were related to abrasion criteria. Abrasion was prevalent in 30% and wedge-like or deep depressions were observed in 12%. The relationship between abrasion and toothbrushing was evident, the prevalence and severity of abrasion being correlated to toothbrushing consumption. The importance of the toothbrushing technique for the development of abrasion lesions was elucidated. Horizontal brushing technique was strongly correlated to abrasion. It was demonstrated by treating the data with the statistical AID analysis that toothbrushing factors related to the individual (brushing frequency and brushing technique) exert a greater influence than material-oriented toothbrushing factor such as dentifrice abrasivity and bristle stiffness.

Four variables affecting magnitude of dentrifice abrasiveness.

A five-factor study was done on human dentin abrasion that involved two abrasives, either alone or in dentifrice form, two brush brands, two brush hardnesses, two concentrations, and two temperatures of testing. The hard brushes caused 3.6 times as much wear as the soft brushes, a greater influence than the abrasives compared. A brush X hardness interaction indicated that there is a wide variation among the stiffness gradings of toothbrushes. Tests run at 37 C were 28% less abrasive than those at room temperature, suggesting a softening of bristles because of the warmer temperature. A highly significant abrasive X concentration interaction showed that dentifrices became more than twice as abrasive on dilution form 100 to 50%, but that abrasives alone did not show such changes on dilution. The second study included two hardnesses, two abrasives, three diluents, four concentrations, and two replicates. An interaction was found between abrasive and diluent, showing that glycerine inhibited abrasion by 88% in comparison with saliva and CMC. A hardness X concentration interaction showed that wear varied widely with concentration for the hard brush but scarcely at all for the soft brush. These findings suggest that abrasiveness of dentifrices depends strongly on testing conditions and that no single set of conditions is suitable for evaluating dentifrice abrasiveness.

A method for assessing the relative abrasion of prophylaxis materials.

A method for assessing the relative abrasion of prophylaxis materials is described. The method utilizes irradiated human enamel and dentin specimens, and treatments are performed using a simulated prophylaxis procedure. Results obtained with this method indicate that variations in treatment time, load, and cup speed may influence the relative abrasion.
