Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and behavior of medical doctors about toothbrush disinfection. Methods: This study included 170 medical doctors (63 females, 107 males). Participants filled out the standard questionnaires which contained 18 items into three parts: demographic data, personal oral hygiene practices-patient recommendations about toothbrush disinfection, and toothbrush disinfection. Data analyses were performed with t-tests, chi-squared tests, and Fisher’s exact tests, where appropriate. Results: Regarding personal oral hygiene practices; most medical doctors reported that they brushed their teeth at least twice a day and changed their toothbrushes once every three months. Statistically significant differences were found between females and males for these questions (p
