The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of plaque control in individuals with orthodontic treatment attending the Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics specialty at Norbert Wiener Private University, Lima, 2017. The instrument used was the Greene and Vermillion plaque index. The sample consisted of patients with fixed orthodontic appliances treated at the UPNW Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics specialty between August and December 2017. A clinical examination was performed, along with an oral hygiene index using disclosing tablets to record plaque presence before and after a didactic workshop that included an oral hygiene technique. The data obtained were processed using the SPSS program, employing the Chi-square and Wilcoxon tests. The findings showed that before the workshop, 70.1% of the patients had a regular oral hygiene index (IHO) and 29.9% had a poor IHO. After the workshop, the IHO improved to 51.3% good, 46.7% regular, and 2% poor. Additionally, when evaluating the presence of plaque, it was found that before the workshop, the study population had a mean of 1.398 ± 0.403, which was reduced to 0.602 ± 0.412 after the workshop. The study concluded that the didactic workshop was effective in reducing plaque presence in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment at the Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics specialty at UPNW, 2017.

The teaching of mechanical plaque control is of utmost importance, as its goal is to prevent periodontal diseases and create a positive attitude in the patient, inform, and motivate them. The objective of this observational, descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional, and relational-level research was to assess the effectiveness of the modified Bass and modified Stillman brushing techniques for bacterial plaque control in secondary school students. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 97 children aged 10 to 15 years. A plaque disclosure substance was used, and oral hygiene was evaluated using the O'Leary Index before and after the educational talks. The dental surfaces were then assessed, considering two groups: one for instruction in the modified Stillman brushing technique. It was concluded that before brushing, the group using the modified Bass technique had an average of 67.8%, while the Stillman group had 86.0%. After brushing, both techniques proved effective, with the modified Bass technique showing 22.8% improvement and the Stillman technique showing 24.6%.
