Current Challenges In Brushing Behaviours
Current Challenges In Brushing Behaviours

Patients rarely brush for the length of time they say they do, and rarely does their bushing time exceed 60 seconds. Most patients use a simple horizontal brushing action, spend little time brushing lingual areas, and fail to effectively remove plaque from the approximal surfaces of premolars and molars.
