We enrolled 21 university students with gingivitis in Jinju City in this study between April 24 and October 28, 2014. A dental hygienist performed a professional toothbrushing routine on the participa...
The patient hygiene performance index, gingival bleeding rate, pocket depth, amount of gingival sulcus fluid, and CFU/mL within the gingival sulcus significantly decreased after professional toothbrus...
Professional toothbrushing improved the periodontal health in patients with gingivitis in respect of both biological and clinical results....
To compare the effectiveness of dental plaque removal between a new sonic toothbrush and a manual toothbrush....
In total, 75 healthy dental students participated in this randomized double-blind crossover clinical trial. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two groups (manual or sonic toothbrush) and un...
A significant mean reduction in the full-mouth plaque index was observed after the use of both type of brushes: 46.2% ± 0.28% (p = 0.000) and 50.5% ± 0.24% (p = 0.000) for the manual and sonic toothbr...
Both devices lead to similar plaque score reduction after a single tooth brushing....
In the 21st century, we are surrounded by plastic, disposal of which has a detrimental effect on the environment. Around 700 million plastic toothbrushes are sold which contributes to a large portion ...
Ninety children 8-10 years old from school were included in the study. Toothbrush types to groups A (nonbiodegradable toothbrush, Colgate® Palmolive India Ltd.), B (Biodegradable toothbrush, Bamboo In...
The comparison of plaque scores pre- and postbrushing in all groups manifested reduction from day 1 to 14. However, Group B showed a significant reduction of plaque on day 14 with a difference of 0.50...
According to the results, it can be concluded that a biodegradable toothbrush has adequate plaque removal efficacy. Therefore, the use of biodegradable toothbrushes can be recommended which will reduc...
This study aimed to compare the cleansing efficacy of the Oral-B...
Thirty adult participants were randomly assigned to use the iO™ electric toothbrush with the brush head iO™ Ultimate Clean or the traditional oscillating-rotating toothbrush Oral-B...
All 30 participants completed the study with no dropouts. After 28 days of use, the iO™ showed statistically significantly lower plaque levels than the conventional oscillating-rotating toothbrush (25...

This study highlights the potential benefits of advanced toothbrush technologies for plaque reduction and encourages further research....
Dental caries and periodontal disease are very common chronic diseases closely linked to inadequate removal of dental plaque. Powered toothbrushes are viewed as more effective at removing plaque; howe...
Design and aim This randomised controlled clinical trial assessed the efficacy of using dental floss in addition to toothbrushing in reducing gingival and plaque indices.Intervention The participants ...
The association between toothbrushing and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections is unknown. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the change in time and frequency of toothbrus...
In this 8-month retrospective cohort study, we used the data from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS; N = 22,366), which was conducted between August and September 2020. The logist...
The mean age of the participants was 49 years (SD = ±17.3), and 49.2% were male. Overall 2704 (12.1%) participants changed (increased or decreased) the time and frequency of toothbrushing, whilst 19,6...
The change in time and frequency of toothbrushing from before to after the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with having the 3 main COVID-19 symptoms....
Effective dental plaque removal is essential for oral health. Different toothbrush parameters including head-size, filament-diameter and interdent-height and different brushing movements like horizont...
Eight manual toothbrushes were tested using a validated robot test to examine efficacy of toothbrush on replicated human teeth. Characteristics tested were: (i) head-size, (ii) filament-diameter, (iii...
Plaque removal was significantly better with toothbrush having smaller head-size (compact vs. full-size); smaller filament-diameter (0.12 mm vs. 0.15 mm); larger cutting-height (12 mm vs. 9 mm); softe...
Manual brushes allowing filaments free to flex with longer, softer and/or having a difference in filament length overall removed significantly more simulated plaque as compared to more standard flat t...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 newly designed toothbrushes used by elderly individuals based on plaque removal and gingival inflammation reduction compared with 2 commercially...
This was a randomised, controlled, single-blind, 4-period crossover clinical trial. Thirty elderly participants meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into 4 groups, which determined t...
The mean age of the 30 participants was 63.2 years. The mean baseline BOP score was 44.4%, and mean baseline PI was 2.7. Three participants dropped out; thus, 27 participants (15 females and 12 males)...
