Sponsor's own description

The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of manual and electric toothbrush on dental plaque removal by using various intraoral imaging systems. Thirty healthy individuals using the same type of toothbrush for at least 2 years participated in the study. 12 teeth of each individual, including upper and lower anteriors, were examined. Group 1 including volunteers who used to use manual toothbrushes (MT) started to use an electric toothbrush (ET) and Group 2 including volunteers who used to use an ET and started to use a MT for 1 month with the same daily brushing routines. Following the clinical intraoral examination, plaque (PI) and gingival index (GI) measurements were performed 5 hours after brushing. The GI was evaluated through Sillness\&Löe Gingival Index. The PI was evaluated according to Quigley and Hein's Plaque Index criteria and was scored clinically on visual inspection and digital imaging systems including FluoreCam, DSLR Camera, D-Light Pro, Smile Lite MDP, iTero Element Flex. The data was evaluated under p\<0.005 significant level.
