Discussion Session #1

Ms. O’Hehir (to Dr. Van der Weijden). I am interested in your opinion as an expert in toothbrush research about the obvious imbalance between the models that we have for looking at toothbrush efficacy and the lack of models or interest in developing new approaches to toothbrushing instruction and motivation. It seems that there are not many new studies looking at new ways to teach toothbrushing or evaluating different toothbrushing methods with the brushes.
