Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This diagnostic validation study aims to develop and validate a digital method for dental biofilm quantification using three-dimensional images obtained by an intraoral scanner. Twenty participants will undergo intraoral scanning at three time points: before and after plaque disclosure, and after supervised toothbrushing. The digital method's accuracy will be compared with traditional clinical assessment methods (Turesky Plaque Index).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A prospective, evaluator-blinded clinical study including 20 participants (18-65 years) with at least 20 natural teeth and a visible plaque index \>20%. Participants will be evaluated at three time points in a single session using TRIOS 4 intraoral scanner. Digital analysis will be performed using Geomagic Control X software to calculate the percentage of surface area covered by plaque. The study includes standardized intraoral photographs and supervised toothbrushing procedures. This digital method aims to provide a more objective and precise assessment of dental biofilm, overcoming limitations of conventional visual assessment methods.

Digital plaque quantification using intraoral scanner

Participants will undergo three-dimensional intraoral scanning at three time points during a single session: initial scanning (T0), after biofilm disclosure with plaque disclosing solution (T1), and after supervised toothbrushing (T2).
