The goal of this observational study is to evaluate and compare a 3D intraoral scanner-based, computer-assisted approach for assessing dental biofilm/plaque accumulation on natural teeth and restorative surfaces with a conventional clinical plaque index (Turesky modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index, TMQHPI) in systemically healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How well does the plaque-covered surface measurement derived from 3D intraoral scanner data agree with TMQHPI scores after plaque disclosure? * How sensitively do the two methods detect changes in plaque levels after supervised toothbrushing? * Do plaque accumulation patterns differ between natural tooth surfaces and restorative materials (direct composite restorations and indirect ceramic veneers), and where are plaque-retentive areas most frequently located?
Participants (≥18 years) will receive routine professional mechanical plaque removal as part of standard clinical care. They will then be asked to avoid mechanical and/or chemical plaque control for 4 days. At the follow-up visit, participants will undergo:
1. An intraoral scan and standardized photographs of the full dental arch, 2. Plaque disclosure followed by repeat scanning/photography and TMQHPI scoring by a periodontist, 3. Supervised toothbrushing using the modified Bass technique for 2 minutes, followed by a final scan and photographs. Digital models will be used to quantify plaque-covered surface measures and to generate 3D maps of plaque-retentive areas.
