Abstract
Prevalence (number of events) composition abnormalities of the teeth in Indonesia
is said to reach 80%. One way to improve these disorders is to use orthodontic
appliance. Fixed orthodontic components have complex shapes that facilitate attachment
of plaque over time and may increase the risk of caries, gingivitis, and
periodontal disease is likely to occur. One of the preventive efforts made in order to
avoid the problem is to control dental plaque. Among the assortment of plaque control,
the most simple, safe and effective tooth brushing. Brushing effectiveness depends
on several things, namely toothbrush shape, frequency, and duration of brushing
your teeth is most important is brushing technique. Election brushing technique should
be considered in order to achieve hygiene and oral health, especially for users of
fixed orthodontic. In this study, brushing technique is the technique used roll and
scrub techniques because both techniques are frequently used techniques in general.
The research objective was to determine the effect of method of brushing teeth
and roll technique to scrub plaque scores in patients wearer fixed orthodontic tooth
poly RSKIA Sadewa This research is a quasi-experimental (Quasi experiment) using
design Pretest - posttest. Location of research in dental poly RSKIA Sadewa in
Babarsari TB 16. 13, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The method used in this research
is a method of non-random sampling with sampling techniques saturation and the
sample was 24 respondents. With a variable influence brushing, whereas its impact
variables plaque scores. The data was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test at the 5%
significance, to determine the effect of two variables. The results showed that after
brushing with roll technique after 2 minutes, the average plaque scores fell from 3.46
to 0.73. Meanwhile, after brushing with a scrub technique, the average plaque scores
fell from 3.32 to 1.29. From the analysis of Wilcoxon on brushing techniques suggests
that the z roll count equal to -4.287 (sig 0.002 <0.05) and the scrub brush
technique shows that z count equal to -4.266 (sig 0.001 <0.05). There is a significant
effect between the method of brushing with roll technique to score plaques in patients
with fixed orthodontic wearers (p: 0.002) and a significant effect between method of
brushing with a scrub technique to score plaques in patients with fixed orthodontic
wearers (p: 0.001) .
