Journal Title: Indian Journal of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The natural physiological forces that clean the oral cavity are not sufficient enough to remove dental plaque. Tongue movement and saliva flow has some degree of potential to clean debris from facial, lingual, interproximal spaces and occlusal pits but is less effective in complete removal of plaque.This interventional study was conducted at undergraduate clinic, Department of Periodontics of the Subharti Dental College, Meerut. Twenty subjects with 10 females and 10 males aged 20-46 years, were selected randomly. Each patient was given initial periodontal therapy on an individual basis including instructions in proper oral hygiene techniques, scaling and root planing. During a 1 month follow up period, additional instructions and re-enforcement of oral hygiene was provided according to individual needs. At the start of the study the patients were demonstrated the brushing technique and other oral hygiene procedures. At baseline the OHI-S were taken. After that scaling and root planning were performed and patients were councelled and instructed for oral hygiene practices. The patients were recalled after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months respectively to assess the OHI-S It was observed that the OHI-S score were reduced gradually after a period of 1 month, 3 months, & 6 months. It was concluded that better oral hygein practices reduce OHI-S score statistically significantly.
