本研究比较了正畸患者执行不同口腔卫生方案的两种专业预防程序的功效和效率：空气粉末抛光系统（APP）和橡胶杯和浮石（RCP）技术。 62 名患者被分为两组：第一组包括 40 名不使用任何洗必泰漱口水的受试者，第二组包括 22 名经常用洗必泰漱口水（浓度为 0.12%）漱口且牙齿染色增多的受试者。采用分口实验设计，一半口腔通过 APP 清洁颊侧和舌侧牙齿表面，另一半口腔通过 RCP 技术清洁。在实验程序之前（PRE）和之后（POST）对牙齿表面进行评分，以评估牙菌斑指数（PI）和牙齿染色的存在。此外，记录每个程序所需的治疗时间。在测试组 I 中，观察到 APP 和 RCP 后 PI 显着降低。同样，在测试组 II 中，两种程序均显着降低了基线 PI 值。在两个实验组中，APP 和 RCP 后染色位点的百分比均显着下降，但在测试组 II 中，APP 似乎比 RCP 更有效。此外，APP 去除牙菌斑和染色所需的时间明显少于 RCP。这些数据表明，两种专业预防程序对正畸患者均有效，其中 APP 是去除牙渍最省时的技术和最有效的方法。
This study compared the efficacy and efficiency of two professional prophylaxis procedures in orthodontic patients performing different oral hygiene regimens: the air powder polishing system (APP), and the rubber cup and pumice (RCP) technique. Sixty-two patients were divided into two groups: group I included 40 subjects who did not use any chlorhexidine mouthwash and group II comprised 22 subjects who regularly rinsed with a chlorhexidine mouthwash (at a 0.12 per cent concentration) and showed increased tooth staining. Using a split-mouth experimental design, the buccal and lingual tooth surfaces were cleaned in half of the mouth by the APP and in the opposite half by the RCP technique. Tooth surfaces were scored before (PRE) and after (POST) the experimental procedures for the plaque index (PI), and for the presence of tooth staining. In addition, the treatment time required by each procedure was recorded. In test group I, significant reductions in the PI after APP and RCP were observed. Likewise, in test group II, both procedures significantly reduced the baseline PI values. In both experimental groups, the percentage of stained sites significantly decreased after APP and RCP, but in test group II, APP seemed to be more effective than RCP. In addition, APP required significantly less time than RCP to remove dental plaque and staining. These data show that both professional prophylaxis procedures are effective in orthodontic patients, with APP being the most time-efficient technique and the most effective method for removal of tooth staining.
