AB0785 Use and Interest of the Toothbrush and Its Innovative Ergonomic Handle in Persons with Gripping Difficulties - new electric toothbrush

Hand and Wrist damage found in certain rheumatism diseases may limit the grasp of oral hygiene instruments, thus making brushing teeth more difficult and may affect oral health (dental caries, gum inflammation, periodontal disease, etc. ).
Objective to evaluate the interest of INAVA system ergonomic toothbrush.
Methods a National observation study was presented to 2705 people with grip difficulties who were or used to be members of the Rheumatism Association
Rhumatismale, AFLAR ).
After 126 people (75% women) agreed to use the INAVA system toothbrush for 7 days.
Of the 126 people surveyed, 109 completed two satisfaction and ergonomic efficacy questionnaires before/after using the test system.
Results after entering the study, nearly 61% brush their teeth 1 to 2 times a day, and 38% brush their teeth 3 times a day.
In 68% of cases, the gripping problem resulted in difficulty in entering certain brushing areas, and 66% limited the duration of brushing.
These problems lead 29% of patients to look for solutions to improve grip, such as extending or thickening the toothbrush handle, choosing an electric toothbrush, and even brushing their teeth with both hands at the same time.
After 7 days using the INAVA system toothbrush, the average overall evaluation score of the patient was 8/10.
In about 75% of the cases, the INAVA system has achieved the last brushing of teeth for a long time, especially in patients limited by grip difficulties (86% ). Sixty-
5% (65%) of respondents also said the system increased access to the mouth.
Conclusion The use of the INAVA system in people with difficult grip has a positive impact on oral hygiene in terms of brushing time and accessibility to the surface of the teeth.
These two parameters are crucial for controlling plaque that causes dental caries and gum disease.
In addition, 79% of respondents believed in the INAVA system toothbrush and wanted to extend the experimental time.
