Abstract
More and more the market offers toothbrushes with the most variedand attractive infantile designs. The question is if the simple presentation of the commercial product (brush) can generate an incentive to the oral hygiene, and therefore, buccal health of children.Thus, this work had as objective to evaluate the children’s motivation to the oral hygiene with the donation of toothbrushes, through the survey of the modified Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (m-SOHI), only for anterior superior teeth (central and lateral incisors, and canines), in children of 7 years of age, of both genders, from a public and a private school. It was concluded that there was a motivation to the oral hygiene in the individuals of both schools, regardless of gender, although the reduction in the plaque accumulation was not very significant.
