Metodos Estudio de la contaminación bacteriana de los cepillos de dientes de cien voluntarios con la cumplimentación de un cuestionario (lugar de almacenamiento, tipo de cepillo, utilización de estuche de almacenamiento y meses de uso).  Resultados Se estudiaron un total de 100 muestras. El 33% guardaba el cepillo fuera del baño, un 20% lo guardaba en el cajón del baño y un 47% sobre el lavabo del baño. El 92% de las muestras estaban contaminadas como mínimo con un grupo de microorganismos  Conclusión El lugar de almacenamiento del cepillo de dientes es fundamental en la reducción de la contaminación. Se debe guardar en un lugar seco, lejos del inodoro y sin estuche.]]></p></abstract>

Methods Study of the bacterial contamination of toothbrushes of one hundred volunteers with the completion of a questionnaire (place of storage, type of brush, use of storage case and months of use).  Results A total of 100 samples were studied. 33% kept the brush outside the bathroom, 20% kept it in the bathroom drawer and 47% on the bathroom sink. 92% of the samples were contaminated with at least one group of microorganisms.  Conclusion The storage place of the toothbrush is fundamental in the reduction of contamination. It should be stored in a dry place, away from the toilet and without a box.]]></p></abstract>
