The foundation for healthy permanent teeth in children and teenagers is laid during the first few years of life. Toothbrushing should be presented as a habit. A wide array of toothbrushes is available in the market, which differ in size, design, length, hardness, arrangement of bristles. This present clinical study is undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of ionic toothbrush on oral hygiene status and plaque removal.
A total of 30 children aged 6 years to 12 years were selected in this study. The children were divided into two groups, 15 children were given HyG ionic toothbrush, were instructed how to use product according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 children were assigned to use manual toothbrush, instructed to brush their teeth in usual manner. All subjects used the same commercially available dentifrice throughout the study.
The results were evaluated at each visit day 0, day 15 and day 30 following 12-18 hours of no oral hygiene. The subjects brushed their teeth twice daily for 1 minute under supervision. The result showed that there was significant difference in all the mean values in all the parameters. It may be concluded from the present study that though the ionic toothbrush was insignificantly superior to the manual toothbrush, both the toothbrushes are clinically effective in removing plaque and improving the gingival conditions.

儿童和青少年健康恒牙的基础在生命的最初几年奠定。应将刷牙作为一种习惯来培养。市场上有各种各样的牙刷，它们在尺寸、设计、长度、硬度、刷毛排列等方面存在差异。本临床研究旨在评估离子牙刷对口腔卫生状况和牙菌斑清除的有效性。
本研究共选取30名6至12岁的儿童。将这些儿童分为两组，15名儿童使用HyG离子牙刷，并按照制造商的说明指导如何使用该产品；15名儿童被分配使用手动牙刷，并按常规方式刷牙。在整个研究过程中，所有受试者使用相同的市售牙膏。
在0天、15天和30天每次就诊时，在12 - 18小时未进行口腔卫生护理后对结果进行评估。受试者在监督下每天刷牙两次，每次1分钟。结果表明，所有参数的所有平均值均存在显著差异。从本研究可以得出结论，尽管离子牙刷比手动牙刷略优，但两种牙刷在临床上都能有效清除牙菌斑并改善牙龈状况。
