Who can join
Ages 19 to 85 · All sexes · Healthy volunteers welcome
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * 19-85 years old * Patient at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) College of Dentistry * One molar, premolar or canine pe quadrant Exclusion Criteria: * No permanent dental devices (braces, splints) * Less than 20 non-restored teeth present in the dentition
About the study
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.
