Abstract in brief

  • The study compared an oscillating-rotating (OR) electric toothbrush with microvibrations to a manual toothbrush over 8 weeks, focusing on plaque and gingivitis reduction in adults with gingivitis.
  • Results showed that the OR toothbrush was significantly more effective than the manual brush in reducing bleeding sites, plaque, and gingivitis scores as early as 1 week and throughout the study period.
  • Overall, the novel OR electric toothbrush demonstrated superior performance in plaque removal and gingivitis improvement compared to a manual toothbrush.]
