Study Details

This study investigates the similarity between microbial plaque scores when assessing the entire dentition versus select teeth. The hypothesis posits that plaque buildup on single teeth mirrors that of the entire mouth, facilitating efficient plaque data collection and generalized deductions. Additionally, the research explores the potential of Dental Monitoring© photos in accurately identifying plaque indexes, aiming to enhance plaque evaluation efficiency in dental appointments. The null hypothesis suggests no significant difference between full dentition plaque scores and selected teeth. Results may streamline plaque tracking in patient appointments and enable remote monitoring, potentially detecting plaque accumulation issues earlier.
