The Myo as an oral prophylactic device used by motor skill functionally disabled patients.
The Myo appliance appears to be effective in reducing plaque and gingival inflammation. The advantage of this appliance is that the filament-like projections remove the plaque when the patient chews on the appliance. The use of the appliance is simple, does not require training or manual dexterity and is well accepted by the children.
