Effective plaque control of the primary dentition can be particularly difficult to achieve because of problems with motivation and manual dexterity in some children. This study compared plaque control efficacy of a new electric toothbrush designed specifically for use by children with a children's manual brush. Results showed that in a pediatric population aged between 8 and 12 years, the electric brush achieved significantly greater plaque removal from both primary and permanent dentition.
由于一些儿童在积极性和手部灵活性方面存在问题，要有效控制乳牙列的牙菌斑可能特别困难。本研究比较了一款专门为儿童设计的新型电动牙刷与儿童手动牙刷的牙菌斑控制效果。结果表明，在8至12岁的儿童群体中，电动牙刷在乳牙列和恒牙列上的牙菌斑清除效果均显著更佳。
