Abstract

Parodontne bolesti smatraju se multifaktorijalnim kroničnim upalnim bolestima koje mogu
dovesti do progresivnog gubitka zubi. Akumulacija dentobakterijskog plaka jedan je od glavnih
etioloških faktora parodontnih bolesti. Liječenje takvih stanja podrazumijeva različite kliničke
postupke, promjenu načina života i poboljšanje oralne higijene. Uklanjanje te kontrola
dentobakterijskog plaka smatraju se glavnom metodom prevencije i liječenja parodontnih
bolesti. Kontrola plaka uključuje mehaničku i kemijsku kontrolu pomoću velikog broja trenutno
dostupnih sredstava za oralnu higijenu.
Mehanička kontrola plaka odnosi se na korištenje manualne ili električne zubne četkice te
interdentalnih pomagala. Postoji mnoštvo varijacija u dizajnu i veličini manualnih i električnih
zubnih četkica. Električne zubne četkice, obzirom na vrstu kretnje, mogu biti oscilirajućevibrirajuće i zvučne. Kemijska kontrola plaka se koristi kao dodatak mehaničkoj, primjenom
različitih pasta za zube i vodica za ispiranje usne šupljine sa protuupalnim, antibakterijskim i
drugim djelovanjima.
Kako bi prevencija i liječenje parodontnih bolesti bili zadovoljavajući, motivacija i edukacija
pacijenata od strane terapeuta je od iznimne važnosti. Smatra se da temeljito, individualno
educirani pacijenti pokazuju bolju efikasnost kontrole plaka, a time je kod njih djelotvornije
liječenje i prevencija parodontnih bolesti.
Manualne i električne zubne četkice smatraju se efikasnim u redukciji plaka i upale gingive.
Međutim, kod pacijenata s parodontnom bolesti oscilirajuće-vibrirajuće električne četkice
imaju prednost nad manualnim i drugim električnim četkicama. Istraživanjima je pokazano da
oscilirajuće-vibrirajuće električne četkice omogućuju značajno poboljšanje indeksa plaka i
upale gingive u usporedbi s manualnim zubnim četkicama.

Abstract (english)

Periodontal diseases are considered multifactorial chronic inflammatory diseases that can lead
to progressive teeth loss. Dentobacterial plaque accumulation is one of the main etiological
factors of periodontal diseases. Treatment of such conditions includes various clinical
procedures, lifestyle changes and improvement of oral hygiene. Dentobacterial plaque removal
and control are considered the main method of prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.
Plaque control involves mechanical and chemical control using a wide variety of currently
available oral hygiene products.
Mechanical plaque control refers to use of a manual or electric toothbrush and interdental
cleaning devices. There are many variations in design and size of manual and electric
toothbrushes. Electric toothbrushes, depending on the type of movement, can be oscillatingvibrating and sonic. Chemical control of plaque is used in addition to mechanical control, using
various toothpastes and mouthwashes with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and other effects.
In order to achieve satisfactory prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases, motivation
and education of patients by therapists are extremely important. It is considered that thoroughly,
individually educated patients show better plaque control efficiency, and thus more effective
treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases.
Manual and electric toothbrushes are considered effective in reducing plaque and gingival
inflammation. However, in patients with periodontal disease, oscillating-vibrating electric
toothbrushes have an advantage over manual and other electric toothbrushes. Researches have
shown that oscillating-vibrating electric toothbrushes provide significant improvement in the
indices of plaque and gingival inflammation compared to manual toothbrushes.
