Powered toothbrush, counter oscillation action vs Circular powered toothbrush

Plaque (level reduction) · Individuals of any age with no reported disability that might affect toothbrushing (including people wearing orthodontic appliances)
1 finding from 1 review
  • Different powered toothbrushes for plaque control and gingival health 2010 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Short term (1-3 months) · Adolescents
    Trimpeneers 1997 reported a significant difference in favour of the counter oscillation brush for plaque index at 2 months over a circular mode of action brush; data were unsuitable for meta-analysis.
