Some designs created an artificial research environment that may have undermined the findings. Authors of toothbrush trials should consider the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement. Greater standardization of the indices used is required. Trials of longer duration would enhance the evaluation of powered toothbrushes. Data on thresholds for clinically significant differences in plaque and gingivitis levels would help to determine whether oral hygiene aids provide important health benefits.

“…3 Children instructed in the use of the electric toothbrush showed a significant reduction in the inflamed gingiva over a period of 120 days. 4 There are several studies of the effects of the electric toothbrush upon the oral hygiene of children and adults. Twelve adults under treatment for periodontitis showed a significant (40 to 50% ) reduction in dental plaque.…”
