Summary

This study tests whether a new Sonicare power toothbrush head removes more dental plaque and reduces gum inflammation (gingivitis) than a standard manual toothbrush. About 100 adults with gingivitis will brush twice daily with either the power or manual brush for six weeks. Researchers will measure plaque levels and gum health at two and six weeks to see which method works better.
