The Effect of Using Plaque-disclosing Tablets on the Effectiveness of Toothbrushing and Gingival Health in Children
Effect of Single-Use Plaque-Disclosing Tablet Reinforcement on Plaque Control and Gingival Health in Children: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated whether a single at-home use of a plaque-disclosing tablet, as visual reinforcement following oral hygiene education, provides additional short-term benefits in plaque control and gingival health in children aged 10-14 years.
A total of 53 participants were randomized to a test group or a control group. All participants received plaque disclosure and standardized oral hygiene instruction including the modified Bass toothbrushing technique. Participants in the test group were additionally provided with one plaque-disclosing tablet to use on the fourth day after the initial visit, whereas the control group received no additional intervention. Plaque and gingival indices were recorded at baseline and again at the end of the first week.

实验性的：Test
Standard oral hygiene education + baseline plaque disclosure + single plaque-disclosing tablet reinforcement on day 4. |
Participants received plaque disclosure followed by individualized visual feedback and standardized oral hygiene instruction using the modified Bass toothbrushing technique. Participants in the experimental arm were provided with one plaque-disclosing tablet and instructed to use it at home on the fourth day after the initial visit as a single visual reinforcement of the oral hygiene education. |

有源比较器：Control
Standard oral hygiene education + baseline plaque disclosure only. |

Change in Quigley-Hein Plaque Index
大体时间：From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week
|
Plaque accumulation was assessed using the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index at the full-mouth level and separately for the incisor, canine, premolar, and molar regions. Scores were recorded at baseline and at the end of the first week. Lower scores indicate lower plaque accumulation. |
