摘要
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.
