  • Descrição: Purpose To compare a novel oscillating‐rotating (O‐R) electric rechargeable toothbrush with micro‐vibrations to a marketed premium sonic toothbrush for reduction of gingivitis and plaque in an 8‐week randomized controlled trial. Methods Adult subjects with evidence of gingivitis and plaque were randomized to use either the novel O‐R brush (Oral‐B iO) or the sonic brush with sodium fluoride dentifrice twice daily. Assessments at baseline and week 8 included the Rustogi Modification of the Navy Plaque Index (RMNPI), Modified Gingival Index (MGI), and Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI). Gingivitis status (‘healthy’/’not healthy’) was classified per the American Academy of Periodontology/European Federation of Periodontology criteria. Results Ninety subjects were randomized to treatment and completed the study. Subjects had a mean age of 49.2 years; 68 were females. At baseline, the mean number (standard deviation [SD]) of bleeding sites for all subjects was 32.8 (16.43). At week 8, the O‐R brush group had a higher percentage of ‘healthy’ gingiva subjects than the sonic brush group (84% vs. 53% P = 0.003). In the between‐group comparisons at week 8, the O‐R brush group showed statistically significantly greater reductions (P < 0.001) compared to the sonic group for MGI, GBI, and number of bleeding sites. The O‐R brush group also had statistically significantly greater plaque removal (P ≤ 0.011) than the sonic brush group for whole mouth plaque as well as plaque in the proximal regions and along the gingival margin. Conclusions The novel O‐R electric toothbrush with micro‐vibrations provided greater plaque and gingivitis reductions than the marketed premium sonic toothbrush over 8 weeks.
