Failures in maintaining adequate plaque control result mostly from failures in patient
1. neuromuscular skills
2. motivation
3. records
4. recalls
Periodontics
Answer: 2
The primary reason for failures in maintaining adequate plaque control is often
a lack of motivation. Patients may understand the importance of oral hygiene but
may not be motivated to implement effective brushing and flossing techniques
consistently.
Following the application of disclosing solution on teeth, a patient can remove plaque most effectively by using
1. dental floss
2. a strong mouthwash
3. a water irrigating device
