As gingivitis prevalence is closely related to plaque accumulation, effective oral hygiene is mandatory for maintaining healthy gingival tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different toothbrushing methods (a manual toothbrush (group 1 = MTB, the control); an electric toothbrush (group 2 = ETB); and an electric toothbrush with daily visual feedback (group 3 = ETBV)) on the plaque levels and periodontal health in patients after receiving initial periodontal treatment. : A total of 67 patients were initially screened in this study, and 60 patients were randomly allocated into 1 of the 3 groups, with 53 patients completing this study.

- The study aimed to see how well intraoral X-rays can show bone defects in patients with gum disease and those with dental implants.
- Researchers looked at 99 bone defects from 40 patients after surgery and compared the X-ray results to the actual defects found during surgery.
- The findings showed that X-rays were not very accurate for identifying these bone defects, and both experienced and less experienced doctors performed similarly.
