PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine the changes in the treatment course by transmitting the vibration produced by the electric toothbrush to the teeth with the plaque. It is also to examine the effects of vibration with/without electric toothbrushes and manual toothbrushes on the formation of white spot lesions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients were randomly divided into 3 groups; Group 1, patients providing oral hygiene with a manual toothbrush (control group); oral hygiene was provided to group 2 with an electric toothbrush; Oral hygiene was provided to Group 3 with an electric toothbrush and the teeth were vibrated by applying plaque to the brush head of the electric toothbrush. Oral model recordings for Little index measurements were obtained from all patients at the beginning of the treatment, at the 6th, 12th, 16th weeks, and at the end of the treatment. QLF recordings were obtained from all groups to assess the occurrence of white spot lesions.
RESULTS: The results revealed a significant difference in Little Index values between Groups 1 and 3 at the mandible T3 period (p=0.01). Additionally, the treatment duration for Group 3 was significantly shorter than that for Group 1(p<0.05). QLF analysis indicated a statistically significant improvement in white spot lesions for Groups 2 and 3 using an electric toothbrush.
CONCLUSION: Vibration application with electric toothbrush and plaque combination shortens the duration of treatment by accelerating tooth movement. The use of an electric toothbrush is more successful in preventing the formation of white spot lesions
