Abstract
Aim: The aim of the clinical study was to analyze the correlation between the dental plaque scores measuredby different imaging systems.Materials and Methods: Thirty volunteers between the age of 18-30, who visited Marmara University, Facultyof Dentistry whose DMFT scores were under 4, were included in the study. Dental plaque on anterior teeth’sbuccal surfaces of the volunteers were scored using different imaging systems after staining with a disclosinggel. The patients were divided into three groups. The groups were given two different herbal toothpastes(ginger and hemp) and a conventional toothpaste. Digital photography, intraoral digital scanning (iTeroElements 2) and FluoreCam were used for taking intraoral images. The Turesky Modified Quigley Hein PlaqueIndex (TMQHPI) was used for the clinical examination and the taken images. The correlations between theclinical examination and imaging scores were analyzed before and after using the toothpastes for 21 days.Shapiro Wilk Test and Pearson’s correlation were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics V23 (IBM Co. , Armonk,USA) (p<0.05).Results: The lowest mean value was obtained in the clinical examination without disclosing gel method andthe highest mean value was obtained in the FluoreCam method. The mean value of the clinical examinationwithout disclosing gel was found to be lower than the clinical examination with disclosing gel method andintraoral digital scanning method. There was no significant difference between toothpastes before and aftertoothbrushing for all clinical imaging methods.Conclusion: Staining of the plaque and the use of digital imaging systems have shown a positive effect inthe determination of dental plaque. Intraoral imaging systems may be used as an alternative to supplementthe shortcomings of conventional clinical indices for educating patients about plaque control and continuedpatient oral care. Herbal toothpastes are just as effective as conventional toothpastes in removing dentalplaque.
