Research has shown that an undesirably high proportion of communities find thorough toothbrushing with a standard manual toothbrush challenging to achieve a plaque-free state, as evidenced by high worldwide gingivitis and periodontitis. This is consistent with investigations that reveal insufficient frequency of brushing, poor brushing technique, and inadequate brushing session duration when compared with standard-of-care professional recommendations. The U-shaped brush is an intervention chosen for the present study because it can attract children's attention and make brushing fun and routine. With bristles angled at 45° and available in various sizes according to age, the U-shaped brush is useful for removing plaque. It can be used starting at age three or older. It is dependable for children because its two-sided design can clean the upper and lower arches in one motion. Since design affects plaque removal to varying degrees, various authors have examined the effects of different toothbrush designs on plaque removal.
