Powered Toothbrushes: A Review of Clinical Trials

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1999
Abstract. There is now a vast range of powered toothbrushes (PTBs) available on the market and the efficacy of each product is usually determined in one, or a series of controlled clinical trials. This article reviews briefly the design of PTBs, some of the proposed indications for their use, and the principal observations from published studies of ...

Models for Assessing Powered Toothbrushes

Advances in Dental Research, 2002
The continued development of the power toothbrush over the last 25 years has led to some present-day models that demonstrate increased efficacy in plaque removal compared with a manual brush. The wealth of clinical data that supports these claims has a reference to both in vitro and in vivo models.

The Effects of Load and Toothpaste on Powered Toothbrush Vibrations

Journal of Dentistry, 2007
The primary cleaning action of powered toothbrushes is the motion of the bristles in contact with the tooth surfaces. The aim of this study was to use scanning laser vibrometry to determine the effects of load and toothpaste on the bristle vibration characteristics of four powered toothbrushes (Oral-B Sonic Complete; Oral-B Professional Care 8000 ...

Power toothbrushes, gender, and dentin hypersensitivity

Clinical Oral Investigations, 2000
Power toothbrushes require less force for plaque removal than manual brushes. In addition, in vitro studies have indicated that brushing with low force could occlude patent dentin tubules by formation of a smear layer. Hence, lessening the force necessary to remove plaque may reduce dentin hypersensitivity.
