AIM: To identify the best available evidence for the effect of tooth brushing on the initiation and progression of @entity1547 (NCCLs). METHODS: A protocol was developed for the questions: Does traumatic tooth brushing, compared to normal tooth brushing, lead to an increased prevalence of non-inflammatory @entity1464 ? [FQ1] and NCCLs? [FQ2] The search covered 4 electronic databases. Bibliographies of review articles, relevant texts, World and European Workshops were screened. Hand searches were performed of the Journals of Clinical Periodontology, Periodontology, Periodontal Research and IADR abstracts. RESULTS: A meta-analysis included 159 subjects and showed that subjects who used MTBs (manual tooth brush) had greater @entity1464 after 12 months when compared to those using PTBs (powered tooth brush). 13 cross-sectional studies identified the most frequent tooth brushing factors associated with @entity1464 as being tooth brushing frequency, a horizontal or scrub tooth brushing method, bristle hardness, tooth brushing duration and the frequency of changing a toothbrush. The principal tooth brushing factors associated with NCCLs were tooth brushing method and frequency. CONCLUSION: The data to support or refute the association between tooth brushing and @entity1464 and NCCLs remain largely inconclusive. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
