Abstract:
The effect of a microcurrent-emitting toothbrush (MCT) versus a conventional toothbrush (CT) in 40 orthodontic patients is of interest. The MCT significantly reduced plaque levels (mean difference: 8.2%, p<0.001) and improved gingival health (p=0.003), especially near brackets and interproximal areas. Patient satisfaction was also higher for MCTs (p=0.008). Thus, we show the use of MCTs for enhanced oral hygiene during fixed orthodontic treatment.
