The use of conventional toothbrushes and dentifrices will adequately cleanse the exposed surfaces of the teeth. Neither variations in the design of toothbrushes nor the formulation of dentifrices confer extra cleaning benefit. For efficient cleaning patient knowledge, motivation and dexterity are of overriding importance.
