Toothbrushing technique in the prevention of bacterial plaque in children from 5 to 17 years old. Systematic review
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2024, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Dental plaque is formed from a film acquired as a result of food that is deposited on tooth surfaces, so good tooth brushing helps mitigate the future problems it could cause. This systematic review research aimed to analyze the importance of tooth brushing and compare the characteristics of adequate brushing in reducing bacterial plaque in schoolchildren. The PRISMA methodology was used, and PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were reviewed. Initially, 1,597 articles were found, only 18 met scientific rigor. It was concluded that electric toothbrushes, the modified Bass technique, and adequate brushing should include time of use, frequency, and supervision in the case of children.
