First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new toothbrush with two heads that cleans the front and back of teeth at the same time. Forty dentists will use the new brush on one side of their mouth and a regular brush on the other side for two weeks. Researchers will measure plaque removal, gum health, brushing time, and comfort to see if the dual-headed design works better.
