Abstract
The right choice of home hygiene products: toothbrush and toothpaste are an important aspect. The combination of different hardness of toothbrush and varying abrasiveness of tooth paste has not been fully explored.Aim. To study the effect of a soft brush on the enamel surface according to profilometry data.Materials and methods. For research, a special device was used to simulate the annual brushing of teeth. Abrasion was carried out on 6 extracted teeth, according to periodontal indications. Samples size was 1x1cm from 6 teeth removed for periodontal indications. Abrasion was carried out with a soft brush without the addition of paste on samples № 1,2,3 and with a soft brush in combination with a low abrasive paste with RDA 35 on samples № 4,5,6. The results of profilometry data were recorded at following time points - the initial state of the tooth, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year.Conclusion. Using only a soft brush without toothpaste does not change the roughness of the tooth surface while simulating an annual brushing and the combination of a soft brush with a low abrasive paste polishes the enamel surface.
