Abstract

Maintaining oral hygiene is a daily challenge for the oral cavity. The use of certain agents such as toothpaste, manual and electric toothbrushes, mouthwashes, and units for interdental cleaning aids in keeping a stable oral microbiome and prevents the occurrence of oral diseases like caries or periodontitis. This thesis will highlight the most common and most effective oral hygiene tools, their differences, designs, types, and ways of usage to maintain oral hygiene. It will also discuss how different parameters of a manual toothbrush and the amount of toothpaste can affect oral health and microbiome.

Abstract (croatian)

Održavanje oralne higijene svakodnevni je izazov za usnu šupljinu. Upotreba određenih sredstava kao što su pasta za zube, ručne i električne četkice za zube, vodice za ispiranje usta te sredstva za čišćenje međuzubnih prostora pomaže u održavanju stabilnog oralnog mikrobioma i sprječava pojavu oralnih bolesti poput karijesa ili parodontitisa. Ovaj će rad istaknuti najčešće i najučinkovitije alate za oralnu higijenu, njihove razlike, dizajn, vrste i načine upotrebe za održavanje oralne higijene. Također će se raspraviti o tome kako različiti parametri ručne četkice za zube i količina paste za zube mogu utjecati na oralno zdravlje i mikrobiom.
