Brief title
Health condition
The mechanical control of supragingival plaque by daily toothbrushing is an essential element in effective oral hygiene and most commonly practised. However, as a result of toothbrushing some people may traumatize the gingival tissues due to improper brushing techniques, hard bristle filaments or improper end-rounded filament ends.

Study objective
The objective of this pilot study is to assess the effect of filament endrounding quality on gingival abrasion.
Study design
Screening;
In total there are three assessments:
1. Visit 1- week 1 (tuesday or thursday);
2. Visit 2- week 2 (tuesday or thursday);
3. Visit 3- week 3 (tuesday or thursday).
Intervention
First for each leg of the cross-over by type of end-rounded bristle (group A, B, or C) secondly assignment by brush type to professional brushing in 2 contra-lateral (1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th) quadrants. Every visit the Abrasion is measured by the examiner. The dental hygienist will brush with two different brushes, contra lateral (1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th quadrant), finally the abrasion is measured.
Group A= 0% end-rounded Oral- B indicator;
Group B= 40- 50% end-rounded Oral- B indicator;
Group C= 90 % end-rounded Oral- B indicator.
