Behavioristic technique or oral hygiene--an update.

L W White

    American Journal of Orthodontics
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    An aversive conditioner improved orthodontic patient oral hygiene during office visits but did not reduce loose bands. The timing of the stimulus likely explains these differing outcomes for oral hygiene and appliance integrity.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Behavioral Science
    • Dental Hygiene

    Background:

    • Previous research explored behavioristic approaches to oral hygiene in orthodontic patients.
    • This study focuses on an aversive conditioning technique for patients with poor oral hygiene and loose bands.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an aversive conditioner in improving oral hygiene and reducing loose bands in orthodontic patients.
    • To determine the impact of stimulus timing on the efficacy of behavioristic interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • An aversive conditioner was applied to orthodontic patients exhibiting poor oral hygiene and loose bands during office visits.
    • Patient oral hygiene and the incidence of loose bands were monitored to assess the conditioner's impact.

    Main Results:

    • The aversive conditioner significantly reduced instances of poor oral hygiene during dental appointments.
    • However, the conditioner showed no significant effect in decreasing the occurrence of loose bands.
    • A correlation between stimulus timing and intervention success was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Aversive conditioning can be effective for improving oral hygiene compliance in orthodontic patients.
    • The timing of aversive stimuli is crucial and may influence outcomes differently for hygiene versus appliance stability.
    • Further research into optimal stimulus timing for orthodontic behavior modification is warranted.
