Periodontal infections (gum disease and periodontitis) are viewed as incendiary maladies of microbiological starting points. Their most significant hazard factor is the amassing of a plaque biofilm at and beneath the gingival edge, which is then connected with an improper and ruinous host fiery insusceptible reaction Plaque control is the day by day expulsion of dental plaque, oral biofilm and furthermore counteraction of their collection on the teeth and different pieces of the oral pit. Mechanical plaque control is a viable strategy to dispose of gathering in the oral cavity. With opportunity a few changes came in toothbrushes to make mechanical plaque control progressively viable in everyday oral cleanliness practice. Cross sectional poll study was led. A sum of 104 individuals were made to respond to all the inquiries. The outcome will be examined utilizing factual investigation. In the examination, it was discovered that 72% of the population brush their teeth two times per day. 32% of the respondents feel stores in their teeth much in the wake of brushing. 72% of the individuals accept that brushing can forestall dental plaque. The point of the examination is to make mindfulness on the control of mechanical and substance dental plaque. The control of dental plaque is fundamental for developing kids with expansion of fluoride to mechanical plaque control before it solidifies to become dental tartar.

The prolonged retention of an effective chemotherapeutic agent on oral surfaces and in dental plaque aids in plaque control. The objective of this study was to investigate interactions between delmopinol, a morpholinoethanol derivative, and experimental pellicle. Hydroxyapatite beads were coated with different constituents of pellicle (e.g., saliva, carbohydrates, cell-free enzymes, and bacteria). Delmopinol demonstrated a higher affinity for saliva-coated hydroxyapatite (sHA) and for experimental pellicle coated with in situ-synthesized glucans than for untreated hydroxyapatite. High-molecular-weight (MW) dextran but not low-MW dextran interfered with the adsorption of delmopinol to sHA. Delmopinol did not compete with dextran for the same binding sites on sHA, nor did it compete with saliva for the same binding sites on untreated hydroxyapatite. Delmopinol inhibited the activity of cell-free fructosyltransferase adsorbed onto sHA. In addition, synthesis of glucans by Streptococcus mutans adsorbed onto sHA was significantly reduced in the presence of delmopinol.

Background: Dental plaque is a soft, structured, calcified layer of bacteria that accumulates and attaches to the surface of the tooth. Efforts are made to eliminate and prevent plaque on the surface of the tooth by plaque control. Plaque control can be done mechanically, chemically, or a combination of both. Chemical control is done by using toothpaste. Catechin gambier toothpaste are polyphenolic compounds that have antibacterial activity which can prevent adhesion, inhibit the enzyme activity of glucosyltransferase and kills plaque forming bacteria. Objective: To determine the effect of catechin gambier on decreasing dental plaque index. Methods: This study is a true experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group design, conducted in March – April 2019. The subjects of this study were 44 students of Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University. The subjects were divided into two groups, one group used catechin gambier toothpaste and an control group used placebo. Plaque index was calculated using an Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman of Quingley-Hein. Data was analyzed by t-test. Results: Average of dental plaque index in treatment group was higher than placebo group. Independent t-test showed that there was significant difference of dental plaque index beetwen two groups (p<0,001). Conclusion: Catechin gambier toothpaste can reduce dental plaque index.
