全面的牙齿预防计划的有益效果是公认的。为了研究决定这些程序的有效性的因素，28名牙周召回患者每月进行专业的机械牙齿清洁。实验和对照牙齿随机选择根据splitmouth交叉方法。在研究前1个月、开始时、4个月、8个月和12个月记录菌斑和牙龈指数。在研究前一个月，从所有牙齿上彻底清除牙石和菌斑。在研究期间，仅清洁实验牙齿。努力不通过任何其他方式影响参与者的口腔卫生。在初始牙齿清洁之后和在实验前期间，实验牙齿和对照牙齿上的菌斑和牙龈指数均降低至低水平（平均P1I = 0.4，平均GI = 0.3）。这种高标准的口腔卫生和牙龈健康在整个研究期间都得到了保持，并且在实验牙齿和对照牙齿之间没有观察到任何差异。这表明，机械专业清洁以外的因素是维护牙龈健康的原因。这表明，参与该计划本身可能会激励患者改善他们的口腔家庭护理。
The beneficial effects of comprehensive dental prophylaxis programs are well recognized. In order to study the factors determining the effectiveness of these programs, 28 periodontal recall patients were subjected to monthly professional mechanical tooth cleanings. Experimental and control teeth were randomly selected according to a splitmouth cross-over method. The Plaque and Gingival indices were recorded 1 month prior to the study, at the start, and at 4, 8, and 12 months. One month prior to the study calculus and bacterial plaque were thoroughly removed from all teeth. During the study period only the experimental teeth were cleaned. Efforts were made not to influence the oral hygiene of the participants by any other means. Following the initial tooth cleaning and during the preexperimental period the Plaque and Gingival indices decreased to a low level on both the experimental and control teeth (mean P1I = 0.4, mean GI = 0.3). This high standard of oral hygiene and gingival health was maintained throughout the study period, and no differences could be observed between experimental and control teeth. This indicates that factors other than the mechanical professional cleaning were responsible for the maintenance of gingival health. It is suggested that participation in the program in itself may have motivated the patients to improve their oral home care.
