- Brief Summary
The plaque disclosing tablet demonstrated statistically significant effectiveness in reducing dental plaque on primary teeth. However, there was no significant improvement in maintaining the gingival health status. Nonetheless, we can suggest that the M-dent tablet could serve as an alternative option for children to enhance their self-oral hygiene maintenance through self-visualization of dental plaque.
