NCT ID NCT06561204
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a full-mouth electronic toothbrush (FMET) to see if it reduces gum inflammation and plaque better than a regular electronic toothbrush. 94 adults with mild to moderate gingivitis used either the FMET, a conventional electronic toothbrush, or the FMET with a special foam. Researchers measured gum health and plaque levels to compare results.
