“…The results of this meta-analysis are consistent with those of multiple other systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Whilst some groups have reported little to no efficacy difference between O-R and sonic brushes, including high-frequency models, with respect to plaque or gingivitis reduction, 53 , 54 a large body of independently conducted research supports the superior performance of O-R brushes vs sonic as well as manual brushes. 8 , 9 , 10 , 14 , 16 , 17 The consistently lower plaque effects seen for manual toothbrushes vs electric toothbrushes illustrate that whilst a skilled user can achieve thorough plaque removal with a manual toothbrush, it is difficult to do in practice.…”

“…Recently, sonic toothbrushes that use sonic vibration and electric toothbrushes based primarily on rotation have been developed [ 16 ]. One report suggested that there was no significant difference between the two types of electric toothbrushes in terms of plaque removal, while another report showed that electric toothbrushes with rotary motion were more effective [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Background and purpose: Plaque control is very important in the treatment of periodontitis. However, plaque is difficult to remove because one cannot see one's own oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to verify the plaque removal effect of a prototype device that has a built-in image sensor in the head of an electric toothbrush, enabling the user to brush while checking the condition of the tooth surface on a monitor in real time and to assess their sense of use. Materials and methods: The subjects were 10 fifth-year students from the Graduate School of Dental Science, Fukuoka Dental College, Fukuoka, Japan. The subjects were divided into those who used electric toothbrushes while having the condition of the tooth surface checked with a monitor (monitor group) and those without a monitor (non-monitor group). O’Leary plaque control records before and after brushing and the brushing time were measured, and questionnaires were given to the subjects after brushing. Scaling and professional tooth cleaning were performed after completing the questionnaire. One week later, subjects were switched to the opposite group and had the same measurements and questionnaires. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare both groups before and after the examination at a 5% significance level. Results: The monitor group had significantly better plaque removal than the non-monitor group. In addition, the monitor group spent significantly more time brushing than the control group. Conclusion: Brushing while monitoring oral conditions in real time using an electric toothbrush with a built-in image sensor showed that significantly better plaque removal can be achieved with a longer brushing time.

“…21 A recently updated SR using the same methodology concluded that the evidence does not suggest the superiority of either OR or HFS PTBs for reducing plaque or gingivitis scores. 22 Based on studies conducted over the last decade, a recent SR compared the efficacy of OR and other PTBs and concluded that there is evidence to suggest that OR is more efficient in plaque removal and reduction in the number of bleeding sites than other PTBs, including HFS. 23 It is the dental care professional (DCP)'s role to provide oral hygiene advice to their patients based on the best available evidence.…”

Dental plaque-induced gingivitis is an inflammatory lesion resulting from interactions between the biofilm and the host's immune-inflammatory response. It is reversible by reducing levels of dental plaque at and apical to the gingival margin. 1,2 Gingivitis is a major risk factor and a necessary prerequisite, for periodontitis. Thus, the management of gingivitis is the primary prevention strategy for periodontitis. [3][4][5] There are several ways to remove bacterial plaque from teeth, but the use of a toothbrush is considered the most effective. [6][7][8] The
