[The effect of the motivation of a tracing device in the hygiene phase of PA treatment].
In a clinical comparative study the effectiveness of an oral hygiene motivation tool (Parograph) was evaluated. 100 patients with periodontal diseases got oral hygiene instructions with the classic clinical methods (brush-techniques) and the motivation tool. As a result, only the patients with higher plaque index showed a faster significant reduction of plaque index when motivation tool was used. The comparison between other indices used were statistically not significant.
