- Abstrack Plaque control has been mechanically proven as the most practical and effective to achieve and keep oral hygiene. Beals et al. said that there are four techniques to hold tooth brush, those are distal oblique, oblique power, precision and spoon grip. This study aimed to know which technique is the most effective to eliminate plaque. Study design was pre and post test group study. Subjects were 90 dental students, they were divided into 3 groups randomly, who brushed their teeth by holding tooth brush spoon grip, distal oblique and power grip. Before brushing teeth, they were trained to hold tooth brush on tooth model. Subsequently they were asked for chewing biscuits for one minute and rinse with water for fifteen seconds then their plaque score were examined using Loe and Silness index and disclosing solution. After that, they brushed their teeth for two minute using Pepsodent tooth brush brand without tooth paste adjusted to technique of holding tooth brush groups. After it, they rinsed with water for 15 seconds and continued with score plaque examination. Data analysis was performed by using Anova test. The result showed that there were decreasing of different plaque scores in the three groups, the decreasing score of distal oblique was 0.58 ± 0.28, spoon grip 0.20 ± 0.19 and power grip 0.51 ± 0.20. Statistically there was significant difference (p= 0.000). In conclusion, tooth brushing with distal oblique grip is more effective compaired with spoon and power grip in decreasing plaque score. Key words: plaque score, distal oblique, spoon grip, power grip Abstrak Kontrol plak secara mekanis telah terbukti merupakan cara yang paling praktis dan efektif untuk mencapai dan menjaga kebersihan mulut. Beals dkk. menyatakan ada 4 macam cara memegang sikat gigi yaitu distal oblique, oblique, power, precision dan spoon grip. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui cara memegang sikat gigi mana yang paling efektif dalam menyingkirkan plak. Desain penelitian ini adalah “pre and post test group”. Sebanyak 90 orang mahasiswa FKG-USU dibagi secara random menjadi 3 kelompok yaitu yang menyikat gigi dengan cara memegang sikat gigi spoon grip, distal oblique grip dan power grip. Sebelum menyikat gigi, peserta dilatih cara memegang sikat gigi pada model gigi. Kemudian diminta mengunyah biskuit selama 1 menit dan berkumur air selama 15 detik. Kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan skor plak dengan indeks plak Loe dan Silness dan menggunakan pewarna plak. Selanjutnya diminta untuk menyikat gigi selama 2 menit dengan sikat gigi merek Pepsodent tanpa pasta gigi sesuai dengan kelompok cara memegang sikat gigi. Setelah itu diinstruksikan berkumur selama 15 detik dan dilanjutkan dengan pemeriksaan skor plak. Analisis data dilakukan dengan Uji Anova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada ketiga kelompok ada penurunan skor plak yang berbeda, menyikat gigi dengan cara memegang sikat gigi distal oblique selisih skor plaknya 0,58 ± 0,28, spoon grip 0,20 ± 0,19 dan power grip 0,51 ± 0,20. Secara statistik ada perbedaan bermakna (p= 0,000). Sebagai kesimpulan, menyikat gigi dengan cara memegang sikat distal oblique lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan spoon dan power grip dalam menurunkan skor plak.
