title: [The principles of organizing hygiene education for the population].
abstract: The authors recommend the only type of movement of the toothbrush: along the vertical axis of the tooth with the maximal involvement of the gingival mucosa. The duration of the process depends not on its time, but on the number of the cleaning movements made. Twenty paired movements with the toothbrush are sufficient to remove completely the bacterial coating of the incisors, 25 movements to make so for the canines and premolars, and 30 movements for the molars. Use of this mode of tooth-brushing by subjects of various age groups has demonstrated its high efficacy for the prevention of dental diseases.
