The objective of these four clinical studies was to evaluate the efficacy of the Colgate Actibrush battery-powered toothbrush in comparison with four top-selling manual European toothbrushes (Dr. Best Flex Toothbrush [Germany]; Reach Triple Action Ultra Clean Toothbrush [Germany]; Jordan Multi-Action Toothbrush [Norway]; and Sanogyl Systeme In'Side Double Action Toothbrush [France]) for plaque removal. Each clinical study used a single-use, examiner-blind design in which the Colgate Actibrush battery-powered toothbrush was compared with one of the 4 manual toothbrushes for removal of plaque in adult subjects after 24 hours of no oral hygiene. Supragingival plaque formation was assessed prebrushing and after a 1-minute supervised brushing with either the battery-powered toothbrush or 1 of the manual toothbrushes. After 24 hours of no oral hygiene, Colgate Actibrush removed statistically significantly more plaque than did all 4 of the manual toothbrushes. The results of these clinical studies support the conclusion that Colgate Actibrush is clinically superior for the control of supragingival plaque, compared with the leading selling European manual toothbrushes.
这四项临床研究的目的是评估高露洁电动牙刷与四款欧洲畅销手动牙刷（德国的Dr. Best Flex牙刷；德国的Reach三效超洁牙刷；挪威的乔丹多效牙刷；法国的Sanogyl Systeme In'Side双效牙刷）相比在去除牙菌斑方面的效果。每项临床研究都采用一次性使用、检查者盲法设计，其中将高露洁电动牙刷与4款手动牙刷中的一款进行比较，观察在成年受试者24小时未进行口腔清洁后使用电动牙刷或其中一款手动牙刷刷牙1分钟并接受监督，比较刷牙前后龈上牙菌斑的形成情况。在24小时未进行口腔清洁后，高露洁电动牙刷去除的牙菌斑在统计学上显著多于所有4款手动牙刷。这些临床研究结果支持以下结论：与欧洲畅销的手动牙刷相比，高露洁电动牙刷在控制龈上牙菌斑方面具有临床优势。
