Summary

to evaluate the influence of radiofrequency based toothbrush (Silk'n toothwave)on the accumulation of the calculus

Detailed description

Calculus is a white-brownish layer with various levels of stiffness, which accumulates on teeth and is formed by the mineralization of dental plaque. Thus, maintaining oral hygiene and adhering to maintenance programs keep low levels of plaque and calculus. The electromagnetic field is known for bone healing by lessening osteoclast activity, improving osteoid formation, and stimulating angiogenesis. Furthermore, the electromagnetic field has an antimicrobial effect. Electric toothbrushes have shown a statistical reduction in plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation. Previous studies have shown that Silk'n Toothwave results in less plaque accumulation and calculus formation, in addition to stain removal and teeth whitening. Study aim: to asses the effect of the electromagnetic field in a tooth brush (Silk'n Toothwave) on calculus accumulation and gingival parameters.

Conditions

• Oral Hygiene

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Silk'n Toothwave	patients will receive a non-surgical treatment which will include oral hygiene instructions, calculus removal with ultrasonic and manual instruments. At the end of the meeting they will be provided with a toothbrush which is based on a radiofrequency technology.
