    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Periodontology
    • Preventive Medicine

    Context:

    • Patient adherence to oral hygiene is essential for preventing dental issues.
    • Plaque control is a primary goal in maintaining oral health.
    • Effective patient education is key to successful oral hygiene practices.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a modified BASS toothbrushing technique for effective plaque removal.
    • To outline interdental cleaning methods for patients with and without periodontitis.
    • To emphasize the importance of patient motivation and regular technique reinforcement.

    Summary:

    • The study details a modified BASS toothbrushing technique and interdental cleaning strategies (flossing, interproximal brushes) tailored to patient needs.
    • Instruction involves demonstrations, mirror-assisted practice, and effectiveness confirmation.
    • Technique efficacy is monitored visually or via bleeding tests at each visit, with ongoing motivation and correction.

    Impact:

    • Improved patient understanding and execution of effective oral hygiene techniques.
    • Enhanced plaque control, potentially reducing the incidence and severity of gingivitis and periodontitis.
    • Long-term maintenance of oral health through consistent patient engagement and professional reinforcement.
