Care partner-assisted intervention to improve oral health for older adults with cognitive impairment in Singapore

BackgroundTo assess feasibility and acceptability of an oral health intervention for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia (MD) and their care partners and to explore changes in oral health outcomes. MethodsThirty eight older adults (18 MCI, 20 MD) were enrolled and randomized in this pilot study. Plaque and gingival indices were collected by a single calibrated examiner at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Participants in Treatment Group 1 received educational materials and an electric toothbrush. Participants in Treatment Group 2 and their care partners received coaching on communication and goal setting, and individualized instruction on oral hygiene technique. The care partners for this group also received an electric toothbrush. ResultsOverall, individuals with MCI and MD in both Treatment Group 1 and 2 improved on the plaque and gingival indices over the 6 months. Those with MD in Treatment Group 2 showed a higher rate of improvement in the plaque index between baseline and 3-months than those in Treatment Group 1. Both Treatment Group 1 and 2 reported a high degree of satisfaction with the intervention. ConclusionsThis oral health behavioral intervention was shown to be both feasible and acceptable. Further research is needed to more fully evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.

Bioelectric effect utilized a healthcare device for effective management of dental biofilms and gingivitis

Oral healthcare is a critical condition for high quality of life. According to statistics, gingivitis is one of major diseases in the world (The Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, 3.5 billion population worldwide). Oral diseases, that initiated by a group of multispecies bacteria with diverse extracellular slime that called biofilms, are modifiable risk factors with the cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease. Hence, effective management of biofilms is important.Since biofilms are comprised of extracellular matrix that inhibit drug diffusion, the traditional antibiotic treatment requires 500 -5000 times more concentration than planktonic bacterial infection. The biofilm cleaning in dentistry includes time-consuming and painful physical brushing.In this work, we have developed a new electric toothbrush in emphasis on demonstration of convenient and painless gingivitis improvement device. For the first time, the toothbrush has been integrated with an electromagnetic technology for effective biofilm removal, known for bioelectric effect (BE). Biofilms consists of electrically charged molecules that are affected by external electric fields. Thus, when an electric field is applied, it creates interruption of metabolism, reduction of enzyme activity, weakening surface attachment, and nonuniform electrolyte distribution, resulting in separation from the surface. Thus, integration of the BE on a toothbrush enables enhanced biofilm reduction.The toothbrush tested with mild gingival patient (N=40) at the department of dentistry, Ulsan University Hospital, South Korea. The patient used the BE toothbrush and non-BE toothbrush consecutively for 2 weeks in each, following their gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) measurement for the quantitative analysis. The results demonstrate 1.75 times more decrease of GI in BE toothbrush than the data of the non-BE device (p < 0.05).In conclusion, a new electromagnetic wave toothbrush has been successfully demonstrated especially in reduction of inflammation. Based on this work, we are going to further develop a medical device that dedicated on the treatment of inflammation.

Conclusion Computed tomography should invariably be performed on patients with intraoral impalement injury.

Simple and efficient method to detach intact PM10 from field filters: Elements recovery assessment

Toxicity of the soluble fraction of particulate matter (PM) has been extensively evaluated, but it has also been demonstrated that insoluble aerosol species can considerably contribute to toxicological potential of PM. However, most of the procedures regarding the assessment of toxicological effects of the whole PM (soluble and insoluble species) requires targeted treatments of the sampled filters, such as the employment of organic solvents, or the application of ultrasounds. Both methods can introduce a bias in the toxicological assessment, altering PM oxidative potential and biological outcomes. In this study, we applied a non-invasive, simple and efficient method for the detachment of intact PM10 from field filters by using an electrical toothbrush, which allows obtaining a PM10 water-suspension to be used for PM toxicity assessment. The efficiency of this method was evaluated by comparing the elemental content (As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Co, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, Ti, Tl, U and W) obtained by brushing the filters to that measured by applying a conventional procedure to PM samples (n. 20 pairs of equivalent PM10 filters). Soluble and insoluble fractions were separately analyzed, in order to discriminate the recovery due to partial solubilization of sample from that due to detachment of insoluble particles. The high recovery percentage of elements, the very-high linear correlation coefficients and the low relative percentage differences with respect to a conventional procedure for elemental analysis of PM10 confirmed the efficiency of the toothbrush method.

E-waste dismantling as a source of personal exposure and environmental release of fine and ultrafine particles

Electronic waste (WEEE; from TV screens to electric toothbrushes) is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. Prior to recycling, e-waste components (metals, wood, glass, etc.) are processed by shredding, grinding and chainsaw cutting. These activities generate fine and ultrafine particle emissions, containing metals as well as organics (e.g., flame retardants), which have high potential for human health impacts as well as for environmental release. In this work, release of fine and ultrafine particles, and their exposure impacts, was assessed in an e-waste recycling facility under real-world operating conditions. Parameters monitored were black carbon, particle mass concentrations, ultrafine particles, and aerosol morphology and chemical composition. Potential health impacts were assessed in terms of cytotoxicity (cell viability) and oxidative stress (ROS) on <2 μm particles collected in liquid suspension. Environmental release of WEEE aerosols was evidenced by the higher particle concentrations monitored outside the facility when compared to the urban background (43 vs.11 μgPM2.5/m3, respectively, or 2.4 vs. 0.2 μgCa/m3). Inside the facility, concentrations were higher in the top than on the ground floor (PM2.5 = 147 vs. 78 μg/m3, N = 15.4 ∗ 104 vs. 8.7 ∗ 104/cm3, BC = 12.4 vs. 7.2 μg/m3). Ventilation was a key driver of human exposure, in combination with particle emissions. Key chemical tracers were Ca (from plastic fillers) and Fe (from wiring and other metal components). Y, Zr, Cd, Pb, P and Bi were markers of cathode TV recycling, and Li and Cr of grinding activities. While aerosols did not evidence cytotoxic effects, ROS generation was detected in 4 out of the 12 samples collected, associated to the ultrafine fraction. We conclude on the need for studies on aerosol emissions from WEEE facilities, especially in Europe, due to their demonstrable environmental and human health impacts and the rapidly growing generation of this type of waste.

Clinical evaluation of the cleansing effectiveness various types toothbrushes used by adolescents 12—15 years old

The purpose of the study is to conduct a clinical assessment of the effectiveness of toothbrushes of various types in adolescents aged 12—15 years by dynamic monitoring of the state of hard tissues of teeth, periodontal and hygienic status.&#x0D; Material and Methods: A parallel, randomized, open clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of three different toothbrushes among adolescents aged 12—15 years. The study involved 60 adolescents who were randomly divided into 3 groups of 20 people. In each group, adolescents received one type of toothbrush. In group A, adolescents used a manual brush with a multi-level brush field for brushing their teeth, in group B — a manual brush with a flat brush field, in group C — an electric toothbrush making 8800 reciprocating rotational and 20000 pulsating movements per minute. The dental examination included the determination of the KUz, PI (Turesky S., 1970) and PMA (Parma S., 1960) indices. After the examination, the teenagers were taught the standard method of brushing their teeth. Repeated examinations were carried out after 1, 2 and 3 months. To compare the indicators of one group in dynamics, the Wilcoxon test was used, and to identify differences between groups, the Mann-Whitney test was used.&#x0D; Results: The values of the KPUz index did not change in the course of the study in any of the groups. In all groups, there was a significant decrease in PI after 1, 2 and 3 months from the start of the study (Wilcoxon test, p&lt;0.05 compared with baseline). The cleaning effect of the studied samples of toothbrushes for 1 month. was 48.4% in group A, 27.6% in group B and 56.7% in group C -Whitney, p&lt;0.05). Of the manual toothbrushes, a brush with a multi-level brush field turned out to be more effective. Along with a decrease in the index of plaque in all groups, there was a significant decrease in the PMA index (Wilcoxon test, p&lt;0.001 compared with the baseline). The achieved effect was maintained for 2 and 3 months. from the start of the study, with no significant difference between the groups (p&gt;0.05).&#x0D; Conclusion: The highest cleaning effect was observed when adolescents used an electric toothbrush. Of the manual toothbrushes for teenagers, the brush with a multi-level brush field turned out to be more effective.

Abrasion Behavior of Different Charcoal Toothpastes on Human Dentin When Using Electric Toothbrushes.

The aim of this study was to investigate abrasion on human dentin after brushing with activated charcoal toothpastes. A self-designed brushing machine was used to brush five groups (Group A: Water, Group B: Sensodyne Pro Schmelz, Group C: Splat Blackwood, Group D: Curaprox Black is White, and Group E: Prokudent Black Brilliant) with electrically powered toothbrushes for 4 h. The abrasive dentin wear was calculated using profilometry data. Furthermore, thermogravimetric analyses and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the composition of the toothpastes. Mean dentin loss by brushing were (71 ± 28) µm (Splat Blackwood), (44 ± 16) µm (Curaprox Black is White), (38 ± 13) µm (Prokudent Black Brilliant), (28 ± 14) µm (Sensodyne Pro Schmelz), and (28 ± 13) µm (Water). Groups A/B/D/E and group C each lie in one subset, which is statistically different from the other subset according to a post hoc Tukey test (p = 0.05). Within the limitations, it can be concluded that the content of activated charcoal in charcoal toothpastes had little influence on the observed abrasive behavior, although one of the charcoal toothpastes showed the highest abrasion on dentin.

A New Method for the Assessment of the Oxidative Potential of Both Water-Soluble and Insoluble PM

Water-soluble and insoluble fractions of airborne particulate matter (PM) exhibit different toxicological potentials and peculiar mechanisms of action in biological systems. However, most of the research on the oxidative potential (OP) of PM is focused exclusively on its water-soluble fraction, since experimental criticisms were encountered for detaching the whole PM (soluble and insoluble species) from field filters. However, to estimate the actual potential effects of PM on human health, it is essential to assess the OP of both its water-soluble and insoluble fractions. In this study, to estimate the total OP (TOP), an efficient method for the detachment of intact PM10 from field filters by using an electrical toothbrush was applied to 20 PM10 filters in order to obtain PM10 water suspensions to be used for the DCFH, AA and DTT oxidative potential assays (OPDCFH, OPAA and OPDTT). The contribution of the insoluble PM10 to the TOP was evaluated by comparing the TOP values to those obtained by applying the three OP assays to the water-soluble fraction of 20 equivalent PM10 filters. The OP of the insoluble fraction (IOP) was calculated as the difference between the TOP and the WSOP. Moreover, each PM10 sample was analyzed for the water-soluble and insoluble fractions of 10 elements (Al, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Li, Ni, Rb, Sb, Sn) identified as primary elemental tracers of the main emission sources in the study area. A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the data obtained to identify the predominant sources for the determination of TOP, WSOP, and IOP. Results showed that water-soluble PM10 released by traffic, steel plant, and biomass burning is mainly responsible for the generation of the TOP as well as of the WSOP. This evidence gave strength to the reliability of the results from OP assays performed only on the water-soluble fraction of PM. Lastly, the IOPDCFH and IOPDTT were found to be principally determined by insoluble PM10 from mineral dust.

Effect of 125–150 Hz Vibrational Frequency Electric Toothbrush on Teeth and Supporting Structures: A Finite Element Method Study

The aim of this finite element method (FEM) study was to assess the safety of 125-150 Hz vibrational frequency electric toothbrush on teeth and associated structures. A three-dimensional (3D) geometric model of entire skull having maxilla, mandible, and their dentitions was created using a computed tomography (CT) image of a healthy male patient. Linear static analysis was carried out by applying 15 g of force on anterior part of maxilla and mandible from labial and lingual sides each to calculate the primary displacement (sagittal, vertical, and transversal) and principal stress levels generated on the maxillary and mandibular dentition, on the maxilla and mandible and on the whole skull. A force of 15 g applied to maxillary anterior teeth from labial side caused a mean deflection of 0.003 mm and stress of 0.004 MPa on the teeth and supporting structures. A force of 15 g applied to maxillary anterior teeth from palatal side caused a mean deflection of 0.017 mm and stress of 0.017 MPa on the teeth and supporting structures. A force of 15 g applied to mandibular anterior teeth from labial side caused a mean deflection of 0.078 mm and stress of 0.051 MPa on the teeth and supporting structures. A force of 15 g applied to mandibular anterior teeth from lingual side caused a mean deflection of 0.077 mm and stress of 0.051 MPa on the teeth and supporting structures. For the applied loads and boundary conditions, very small or negligible amount of stresses were observed in maxilla, mandible, and their dentitions. The vibrational frequency of 150 Hz producing 15 g of force did not produce any harmful effects on maxilla, mandible, and their dentitions. Hence, 125-150 Hz of vibrational frequency can be considered optimum. An electric toothbrush using the vibration of 125-150 Hz produces negligible stress on teeth and associated structures.

A Global, In-Market Evaluation of Toothbrushing Behaviour and Self-assessed Gingival Bleeding with Use of App Data from an Interactive Electric Toothbrush.

To determine if an interactive electric toothbrush and smartphone application (app) can reduce self-reported gingival bleeding and promote better brushing behaviour based on global, in-market usage data. Anonymised data were collected worldwide between July 2020 and January 2021 from users of interactive oscillating-rotating electric toothbrushes and app (Oral-B Genius, GeniusX and iO). Self-reported gingival bleeding and brushing behaviour data captured via the app were sent to Google Firebase and Google BigQuery to aid processing and analysis. Data from 16.7 million brushing sessions were analysed. 439,481 new users responded at least once to the app question: 'Do you have gum bleeding?' Of users answering the question over their first two weeks of app use (153,201), the proportion reporting bleeding decreased statistically significantly from week 1 to 2 (28.8% to 17.1%, p < 0.0001). Of users answering the question over each of the first five weeks (43,060) a further statistically significant decrease in those reporting bleeding was seen in each consecutive week, with the week-5 rate being 12.7% (p < 0.0001 vs any previous week). Decreases in duration of excessive pressure (i.e. > 2.5 N - 3.0 N depending on the handle) decreased the proportion of self-reported gingival bleeding (p < 0.0001). Users brushed longer and with less overpressure (p < 0.0001) with vs without live feedback from the app, and showed 94.4% average coverage with live feedback. The interactive oscillating-rotating electric toothbrushes and app, particularly with live feedback, promote good brushing behaviour. Self-reported gingival bleeding occurred less frequently the longer the system was used.

Efficacy of Two Toothpaste in Preventing Tooth Erosive Lesions Associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Patients suffering from acid reflux due to endogenous causes are often affected by gastroesophageal reflux disease which, in the oral environment, causes lingual and palatal enamel erosion. As enamel does not have the intrinsic ability to repair itself, the application of alloplastic materials, such as toothpastes is suggestable. The aim of this “in vitro” study was to compare the effectiveness of two different toothpastes in preventing erosion due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Six tooth elements from bovine jaws were prepared using a high-speed diamond bur and water irrigation. Acid attack simulation was carried out using a 15% HCl hydrochloric acid solution. After that, two different toothpastes with or without fluoride, were brushed at the sample surface using an electric toothbrush at standard position and force. SEM and profilometer analysis were performed. Statistically significant difference was found in average tooth surface roughness after using toothpaste with or without fluoride after the acid attack, as the former offered a greater remineralization. No difference was found in long-term prevention. Fluoridated toothpastes offer a greater degree of remineralization at a first acid attack, however, there is no difference in long-term prevention independently from the toothpaste type.

Combined use of baking soda and electric toothbrushing for removal of artificial extrinsic stain on enamel surface: An in vitro study.

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the combined effect of baking soda and electric toothbrushing on the removal of artificial extrinsic stain in vitro. Material and MethodsFlat enamel surfaces of 15 bovine incisors were artificially stained with 10% citric acid / 3% ferric chloride solution followed by 1% tannic acid solution. These specimens were randomly divided into three groups (n = 5) – Group S+B: brushing with an electric toothbrush and baking soda, Group S+C: brushing with an electric toothbrush and fluoride dentifrice, Group S: brushing only with an electric toothbrush. Color values (L*, a*, and b*) and surface roughness were measured before and after brushing (after 1, 2, 3, and 5 min). The data were statistically analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s honest significant difference test as a post hoc test (p< 0.05). ResultsThe L* value of Group S+B increased over time, and was significantly different between before brushing and at 5 min (p< 0.05). A significant difference in the ΔE* value of Group S+B was found at 5 min (p< 0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the ΔE* values of Group S+C and Group S. No significant differences in Ra were found in any of the groups. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that the combined use of baking soda and electric toothbrushing has an excellent stain-removing effect compared with electric toothbrushing with a fluoride dentifrice. Additionally, the changes in surface roughness were similar to the changes caused by the use of general dentifrices. Key words:Baking soda, dentifrice, extrinsic stain removal, color change, surface roughness.

Autonomous sensory meridian response as an alert trigger for older users

Approximately one in three people in the aging population have hearing problems. This article examines that the (ASMR) sounds can be used as a trigger in autonomous sensory meridian response older users as an auditory-tactile sense. The authors conducted a survey with 45 subjects and asked them to report the location the tingling sensation after listening 16 ASMR sounds. Then 40 elderly subjects participated in the performance experiment with Sudoku puzzle. From the survey, the results show that all ASMR sounds affect the upper part of the human body. There is no significant difference in reaction time, hit rate, and miss rate among the three representative sounds. The ASMR is effective in terms of alert since the average hit rates of all subjects are very high compared to the miss rate. The electric toothbrush and liquid sound were the most alertness and pleasantness, respectively.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Manual Toothbrush Versus Power Toothbrush in Reduction of Gingivitis: A Comparative Clinical Study.

Background:In our study, we compare the power toothbrush with the manual toothbrush and the results showed were contradictory. Where few studies have reported that power toothbrushes are superior, other studies showed that both are equally efficacious in removing dental plaque.Aims:The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficacy of manual toothbrush with an electric toothbrush in reducing dental plaque and gingivitis.Materials and Methods:The study included a total of 56 subjects which were randomly divided into two groups of 28 subjects each. At week 1, disclosing agent (two-tone solution) was used to detect plaque, and Loe and Silness Gingival Index were used to assess gingival scores. Oral hygiene instructions and brushing were also reinforced. A similar protocol was repeated at one, two, and six weeks. The collected data were subjected to statistical evaluation.Results:At two weeks, the plaque score for manual and power toothbrushes were 60.253 ± 20.672 and 44.031 ± 16.484, respectively, and this difference was statistically significant with P = 0.0020. At six weeks, plaque scores for manual and power toothbrushes were 43.784 ± 22.647 and 20.489 ± 10.336, respectively, and were statistically significant (P < 0.0001).Conclusion:The present study concludes that powered toothbrush has added advantages of improved oral hygiene compared to manual toothbrush concerning plaque reduction. This can be attributed to predefined power and force which can effectively remove plaque, calculus, and improved gingival health.

Clinical and Microbiological Evaluation of Manual Toothbrush, Electric Toothbrush and Nano-b Toothbrush on Plaque Removing Efficacy among Visually Impaired Children: A Randomised Clinical Trial

Introduction: Oral hygiene can be maintained by mechanical and chemical methods. Maintenance of oral hygiene is challenging in visually impaired children due to physical limitations. Aim: To compare plaque removal efficacy using different toothbrushes among visually impaired children. Materials and Methods: This randomised clinical trial conducted on 45 visually impaired children aged between 7-12 years from a blind school in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, after obtaining informed consent. Study was conducted in the month of September 2020 and October 2020 for a period of two months. All potential participants were randomly divided into three groups depending on the type of toothbrush used. A plaque disclosing agent (Alpha Plac) was applied and Turesky Modified Quigley Hein Plaque Index (TQHPI) was recorded for all subjects on 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th day from the baseline. Plaque samples were collected from all the subjects and microbial assessment was done for detection of Colony Forming Units (CFUs), on 30th and 60th day from the baseline. Data was analysed using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test followed by Tukey’s posthoc analysis at baseline and post interventional time periods. Friedman’s test followed by Wilcoxon’s Signed Rank post-hoc analysis was used to compare mean CFUs between different time intervals, in each study group. Results: At baseline, no statistically significant difference was noted between the three groups with respect to TQHPI and CFUs. At two months follow-up, nano-b toothbrush group showed significant decrease in mean Plaque Index (PI) score compared to electric toothbrush group (p-value=0.01) and manual toothbrush group (p-value &lt;0.001). Similarly, at two months, mean reduction in CFUs was greater in nano-b toothbrush group followed by electric toothbrush group and manual toothbrush group which was statistically significant (p-value=0.003). Conclusion: Plaque removal efficacy in visually impaired children was superior in nano-b toothbrush group, followed by electric toothbrush group and manual toothbrush group in succession, respectively.

A preliminary experimental study on the user behaviors and aerosol emissions of electric toothbrushes

The oral cavity is a human organ where a high concentration of microorganisms occupies. Evidence has shown that using dental instruments may trigger the release of microbial aerosol indoors. In this paper, the aerosol emissions during the working process of electric toothbrushes were investigated as follows. First, brushing habits, e.g., the favorite brand and flavor of the toothpaste, first tooth/teeth to brush, etc., were determined by 70 questionnaires from university students. Second, typical toothpaste usage per time was determined as 0.3g–0.5g based on a squeezing test by the group. Third, an experimental setup was designed to simulate toothbrushing to measure aerosol emissions. Finally, the measured emissions during toothbrushing were compared with other oral activities. The results showed that the peak PM2.5 emission rate can reach up to 5.9 μg/s by using a typical toothpaste dosage. The number of particles emitted if the incisors were brushed first can be 1–2 times higher than if the molars were firstly brushed. The magnitude of aerosol generated from electric toothbrushing was similar to that of coughing and sneezing.

Various latest toothbrush design

Toothbrush has been a vital part of day-to-day routine across many cultures worldwide from the times of the distant past and ancientness to the recent 21st century. Over the years, numerous types of toothbrushes have been devised and designed till now. Some of the toothbrushes proposed the purpose of solving physically and mentally handicapped patients. It has been used in the reduction of dental plaque after various acceptability and tolerance of each device. We probably did not think of inventions along with the latest technology when we think of a toothbrush. Nonetheless, you should do so, despite the fact that the toothbrush has been around since 3500 BC. Electric toothbrushes were first introduced in 1969, and the modern toothbrush as we know it was invented in the late 1800s. Despite the addition of the latest technology, for example, Bluetooth to electric toothbrushes in latest years, supplementary technological advancements in these devices have been slow. Moreover, toothbrushes have not changed all that much in terms of design. Latest ways of thinking are emerging. Technology has progressed to the point where advances that we once only imagined are now becoming a reality. It is perfectly possible for creators who have somewhat that acquires the public's hearts in addition desires to finance their project with amounts of money they could only have imagined. The next 10 years or so appear to have the potential to bring about significant changes. This review examines all of the latest technology as well as innovation affecting toothbrushes.
