OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel sonic toothbrush, compared with a traditional sonic toothbrush and manual brushing and flossing, on gingival inflammation and plaque semes. METHODS AND MATERIALS: 105 subjects completed this randomised, 4-wcelc, sringlfl-maflkfld, thraA-gmup, parallel elmiral trial. Subject.- wen-randomlj fififtignad iu one of three treatment groups; novel sonic toothbrush, traditional sonic toothbrush, or manual toothbrushing and ffos&inf; i. MTFi. All subjects received both written and verbal instructions nnd demonstrated profldoncA wir.h their aHsignfiddfivieflfl at baseline. Drttrt wen-esalualcd at liaxeluir. WAflka, and 1 Wwrtkn lor 111 finding on probing (HOP), gingival inllaiiinialiuii (M01)i and Kuelofii Modified Navy Plaque Index. RESULTS; All groups demonstrated a significant reduction in BOP and MGI at 2 weeks and 1 weeks (P < .001). The novel sonic toothbrush was significantly more effective than the traditional MGI at 2 weeks and 4 weeks (P < .001). The novel sonic toothbrush was significantly more effective than the traditional sonic toothbrush and MTF for BOP and MGI at week 4. All regimens demonstrated a significant reduction in plaque accumulation at 2 weeks and 4 weeks except the traditional sonic toothbrush marginal (P = .80) and MTF marginal (P = .53) at 2 weeks. The novel sonic toothbrush was more effective than the traditional sonic toothbrush and MTF for whole-mouth plaque reduction at 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: The novel sonic toothbrush was significantly more effective than a traditional sonic toothbrush or standard brushing and flossing for improving oral health over 4 weeks.
