what brushing method is good for pt with pocketing and wide embrasures

what brushing method is the tb starting at a 45* angle with the filaments towards sulcus and a vibrate brush back and forth motion and then rolling brush from sulcus.

what method is known as sulcular brushing

at what angle does the bass method start at? and where are the filaments directed?

what motion does the bass method use?

t/f with the bass method the tb is rolled into the sulcus
True False

what are four limitations to the bass method?

what method is for biofilm removal w/o emphasis on the sulcus?

who is the rolling stroke method good for?

what method is the first lesson in the modified stillman technique?

what method has the side of brush placed on attached gingiva?

where is the back of the tb during the rolling stroke?

t/f the rolling stroke cleans the cervical aspect and somewhat interdentally
True False

what motion is used during the rolling stroke

what are three limitations to the rolling stroke?

what method is for the cervical brushing and good for pt with recession

the _____ method is used for stimulation , cleaning of the CERVICAL aspects of the teeth

how is the brush directed for the stillman method and what is the motion used?

what method is used to remove biofilm from cervical areas below the height of contour and from exposed proximal surfaces

what is the starting position for the modified stillman method?

how is the brush angled for the modified stillman method

what is the motion used for the modified stillman method

the modified stillman method has a starting position with the _____ of the filaments against the _____ ____ and the brush is angled _____ at _____ degrees and a _____ motion is used for ____ counts and the the brush is then rolled _____ from the _____ and then advanced

what are two limitations to the modified stillman method?

what method is used for gingival margins?

what method is used to remove biofilm in marginal and interdental gingiva and is great after surgery where interproximal tissue is missing, it cleans the cervical areas and exposed roots.

t/f when comparing the charters and stillman methods the stillman brush is approximately 45* to the occlusal plan with brush tips directed towards the occlusal or incisal surfaces and the Charters the brush is angled approximately 45* to the long axis of the tooth.

t/f the charter method is opposite to the tb placement when compared to the stillman

what motion is used for the charters method?

what are three limitations to the charters method?

what are five other methods of brushing that we do not recommend?
