Article Synopsis
- An innovative toothbrush was created with a rotatable shank and a flexible design to improve access to all surfaces of the mouth, aimed at reducing plaque and improving gingival health.
- A randomized controlled trial compared this rotatable shank toothbrush with traditional flexible and straight handle toothbrushes to see which was more effective for plaque control and gingival health outcomes.
- Results showed that the rotatable shank toothbrush provided better improvements in plaque removal and gingival health compared to the other types of toothbrushes used in the study.
