Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of two varieties of special needs toothbrushes in terms of dental plaque removal and bacterial contamination vs a conventional toothbrush in patients with Down syndrome.
Materials And Methods: This single-blinded, two-group, randomised clinical trial included 16 patients diagnosed with Down syndrome (age 6-15 years) from various special needs centers located in the Jazan Province of Saudi Arabia. The patients were randomly allocated to two groups based on the type of special needs toothbrush provided (Collis Curve or superfine nano).
