The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of chewable and manual toothbrushes on forty children aged of between 10-12 years. Material and Method: A total of 40 children were randomly selected and categorized in to group A manual brush (MB) and group B (chewable brush). The plaque index scores were determined using the oral hygiene simplified index (OHI-S). Following the assessment of a child's plaque score, they were directed to a "brushing room" where, under adult supervision, they brushed their teeth for two minutes using either a manual toothbrush or a chewable brush. Before students received their chewable brush handles, 25 cm of floss was already attached to them. Afterwards, parents allowed their children to brush their teeth for two minutes with the chewable brush. The chewable brush was used without dentifrice because it already contains dentifrice, as directed by the manufacturer. They moved the brush about their mouth like they were chewing gum. Post brushing plaque indices were obtained after reexamining the children. Result: In table 1 it was shown that the initial or pre brushing OHIS in manual brushing group was 1.48 ± 0.45 which was reduced to 0.79 ± 0.39 after brushing (p < 0.05) similarly initial OHI-S mean values for chewable toothbrush was 1.54 ± 0.49 which reached a mean of 0.67 ± 0.32 after brushing (p < 0.05).
