Sažetak
A comparison of the effectiveness of the horizontal scrub method with Fones' method was performed on 60 preschool children from 4 to 6 years old. The children were divided into two groups of 30 children, each group brushing under control for 3 minutes with one of the two techniques. The study shows that Fones' method is, as a rule, to complicated for children of this age. The result of the group brushing with the scrub method was therefore somewhat better, showing a reduction of the mean oral hygiene index of 39,7%, compared to 32,6% in the group brushing with Fones technique. In single children however, who were able to use Fones technique correctly, it proved to be more effective in plaque removal from the interdental spaces and the necks of the deciduous molars.
