[Comparative clinical studies on 2 toothbrushing methods--Roll and Bass technic].

The effectiveness of two tooth cleaning methods (Roll and Bass technique) was evaluated in 28 patients. Answers to the following questions were sought: 1. Which of the two methods results in greater reduction of plaque formation? 2. Are difficulties encountered in the learning and practice of each method? 3. Which method gives better results in the less accessible parts of the jaws? A significant difference in the cleaning effectiveness of the two methods could not be demonstrated.

[Once or 3 times daily toothbrushing: theoretical basis and practical reality].

Should teeth be cleaned once or three times a day? Although scientific data imply that teeth may be efficiently kept clean by brushing them once but throughly, and although it is true that brushing one's teeth several times a day incompletely is a nonsense, such recommendations should be given only to the fully motivated and cooperative patient. Expecting results by telling this to children, teenagers and to 20--30 year old adults would provoke an increase of caries incidence particularly in the proximal area of the teeth. To renounce to the removal of food debris several times a day is indicated only in middle aged people, where the danger of new carious lesions is diminishing. With optimal home care one cleaning a day may suffice, but a patient who is sensitized to a clean feeling in his mouth will want to remove food debris all by himself.
