7 important questions on Brushing methods - different brushing methods
For which patients would we advice the bass method?
- To remove the biofilm adjacent(aangrenzend) to and remove just below the gingival margin
- exposed root surfaces
- who have had periodontal surgery
What is the methodology for the roll method?
- The brush is placed against the gumline with the side of the bristles in the apical direction with the end of the filaments on the gingiva
- light pressure
- rolling motion from the gum to the tooth by rotating with the wrist
- repeat 5 times in the same place
What are the limitations of roll method?
- Injuring the alveolar mucosa if the brush is placed to high
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the target when using the modified stillmann method?
What is the metholdology for the modified Stillmann method?
- The brush is placed with the side of the bristles in the apical direction against the gumline
- with light pressure, small circular movements are made
- then with a rolling motion to occlusal the brushing is completed at the site
- the lingual surfaces of teh front elements are cleaned by tearning the brush to a vertical position as in the bass method
What are the limitation to the modified Stillmann method?
- Danger of injuring the gingiva if the brush is placed carelessly
- if too fast movements: insufficient cleaning
What is the methodology of the charters method?
- The bristles of the brush are held toward the incisal or occlusal plane
- rotate the brush at 45 anlge toward the incisal or occlusal plane
- place the brush on the transition between the free gingival margin and the tooth surface
- press lightly on the bristles and vibrate the brush making sure the bristles stay in contact with the tooth surface
- performe this for 10sec
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
