Behavioural Determinants of Post‐Brushing Dental Plaque Levels: A Video‐Based Analysis
ABSTRACT Objectives Toothbrushing remains the most widely practiced method for dental plaque removal. However, evidence‐based guidance on optimal brushing method, duration, toothbrush bristle wear, and dentifrice quantity is still insufficient. This study aimed to identify behavioural factors associated with post‐brushing dental plaque levels using ...

ABSTRACT Background People living with mental illness experience poorer oral health than the general population, influenced by medication‐related effects, behavioural risk factors, and structural barriers to dental care. Oral health behaviours and psychological determinants such as motivation and perceived competence are central to prevention and self ...
