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%.

This research work is based on the comparison of the modified Bass and Stillman brushing techniques in children from the educational center "MI FUTURO" to demonstrate which is more effective in removing dental bacterial plaque. First, the Green and Vermillon oral hygiene indices were performed on both groups, and the sample was taken immediately. The modified Bass brushing technique was taught to one group and the Stillman technique to the other group. A toothbrush and toothpaste were assigned to each child to practice the learned technique, and the oral hygiene index was reassessed after five days. Upon analyzing the results obtained, there was no significant difference in hygiene before applying the modified Bass and Stillman techniques (p = 0.805). In reference to the comparison between modified Bass and Stillman immediately after applying the technique (0 days), no significant difference in hygiene was found (p = 0.483). Furthermore, in the comparison between modified Bass and Stillman five days after applying the techniques, no significant difference in hygiene was found (p = 1).
