Abstract in brief

The study found that manual toothbrushes exerted a significantly higher brushing force compared to sonic toothbrushes, which applied lower forces that were similar to each other.
Manual toothbrushes caused more abrasion to sound and eroded dentin but less to sound enamel, indicating that brushing force impacts tissue abrasion differently depending on the type of tissue.
For patients with severe tooth wear or exposed dentin, using sonic toothbrushes is recommended to minimize further abrasion, whereas those with only enamel erosion may not experience significant benefits from switching to sonic toothbrushes.]
