Text: Relative to the two commercially available toothbrushes, the new specially engineered sonic powered toothbrush with unique sensing and control technologies provided statistically significantly (p < 0. 05) greater reductions in whole mouth plaque index scores (21. 9 and 25. 8 %, respectively), gingival margin plaque index scores (14. 5 % and 18. 9 %, respectively), interproximal plaque index scores (160. 0 % and 136. 4 %, respectively), facial plaque index scores (17. 9 % for both), lingual plaque index scores (29. 2 % for both), and interproximal lingual plaque index scores (200. 0 % and 350. 0 %, respectively) after a single tooth brushing.
