Dental plaque is formed from a film acquired as a result of food that is deposited on dental surfaces, so good tooth brushing helps to mitigate the future problems that it could cause. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the importance of tooth brushing and to compare the characteristics of adequate brushing in the reduction of bacterial plaque in school children. The PRISMA methodology was used; databases PubMed, SciELO, Scopus and Google Scholar were reviewed; initially 1597 articles were worked with, only 18 complied with the scientific rigor. It was concluded that: electric toothbrushes, the modified Bass technique and adequate brushing should include time of use, frequency and supervision in the case of children.
