Comparion of Effects of Two Different Power Toothbrushes on Plaque and Gum Health
Sponsor: Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if powered toothbrushing with a side-to-side motion is more effective than powered toothbrushing with oscillating-rotation motion in removing dental plaque. It will also learn about the safety of power toothbrushing with both products. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does side-to-side power toothbrushing remove more dental plaque than oscillating-rotation toothbrushing? Does side-to-side power toothbrushing reduce symptoms of gingivitis better than oscillating-rotation toothbrushing? Participants will: Brush their teeth twice a day with either a side-to-side or oscillating-rotation power toothbrush Visit the clinic twice during the study: once at baseline and six weeks after the study starts. Keep a diary of when they brushed their teeth
