OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety profile of a novel-designed isosceles-configured (SUN Teeth™) toothbrush in comparison to a standard reference toothbrush with end-rounded bristles (approved by the American Dental Association [ADA]).
METHODS
The sample size was determined using the G-Power-software, version 3.1.2 and, accordingly, 104 subjects (ages 19 years to 25 years) were recruited and randomized into either the test group (n = 54) or the control group (n = 50). Prior to study commencement, scaling was performed followed by abstinence from oral hygiene for 24 hours. Baseline pre-brushing gingivitis scores (Lobene) and plaque scores (Turesky modification of Quigley Hein) were recorded. Brushing was performed for 3 minutes and post-brushing scores were recorded on days 1, 14, and 28 without refraining from regular brushing. Data were analysed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS, v.25.0).
RESULTS
Post-brushing plaque scores showed significant reduction in both groups at all time intervals. However, no significant differences between the test and control brush groups were achieved at any time points.
CONCLUSION
The isosceles-configured SUN Teethtoothbrush is equivalent in plaque removal to the conventional flat-bristled ADA reference brush.
目的
评估一种新型等腰配置（SUN Teeth™）牙刷与末端圆润刷毛的标准参考牙刷（经美国牙科协会 [ADA] 批准）相比的临床疗效和安全性。
方法
使用 G-Power-software，版本 3.1.2 确定样本量，相应地，招募并随机分配 104 名受试者（年龄 19 岁至 25 岁）至试验组（n=54）或对照组（n=50）。在研究开始前，进行了洁牙，然后 24 小时内停止口腔卫生。记录基线预刷牙牙龈炎评分（Lobene）和菌斑评分（Turesky 改良 Quigley Hein）。刷牙 3 分钟，在第 1、14 和 28 天不停止常规刷牙时记录刷牙后评分。使用社会科学统计软件包（IBM-SPSS，v.25.0）分析数据。
结果
两组在所有时间间隔的刷牙后菌斑评分均显著降低。然而，在任何时间点，试验组和对照组牙刷之间均未达到显著差异。
结论
等腰配置的 SUN Teethtoothbrush 在去除菌斑方面与传统的扁平刷毛 ADA 参考牙刷相当。
