  "abstract": "Objective: This investigation aims to associate oral hygiene efficacy with Chewable Toothpaste tablets and Traditional Toothpaste and compare their outcomes in subjects aged 18–21 years. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 172 undergraduate subjects attending Teerthanker Mahaveer Dental College and Research Centre, Moradabad. It involved clinical examinations utilizing Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified in the dental students, at baseline and after 1 month. Results: The investigation included 172 subjects of both genders divided into 2 groups of 86 each. An independent t-test revealed nonsignificant differences between both groups at baseline, with P = 0.359, but significant differences between the post-1-month group with a P value of 0.000. Levine’s Test showed nonsignificance at 0.746 P value for baseline, and 0.830 P value for post-1-month, respectively, indicating the equal variances assumption. The paired t-test for traditional toothpaste revealed P = 0.000 with a mean change of 0.4244, along with a mean change of 0.9070 and P = 0.000 for chewable toothpastes. The oral hygiene improvement was better with chewable toothpaste. Conclusion: Chewable toothpastes improve dental hygiene better than traditional toothpaste, proving the need for more innovative methods of maintaining oral hygiene and controlling gingivitis.",
