There are two major types of home plaque control: active and passive. Both can be effective if performed correctly and consistently, but active home care is the “gold standard” (Hale 2003). Typical methods of active home care are brushing and rinsing. Passive methods are typically based on chewing behaviors via treats or specially formulated diets, though recently water additives have been introduced. It has been shown that active home care is most effective on the rostral teeth (incisors and canines) while passive home care is more effective on the distal teeth (premolars and molars) (Bjone et al. 2007; Capik 2007).
