Abstract

<p> Objective: Effective control of dental plaque by daily brushing is critical for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. Recently, not only manual toothbrushes but also many types of sonic powered toothbrush have been developed.</p><p> Materials and Method: The aim of this study was to investigate the dental plaque removal effect and safety of SOLADEY RHYTHM 2 (Shiken Co., Ltd.), which has more solar panels than the conventional types already developed by Shiken Co., Ltd., to reinforce the effect of the titanium dioxide electrode.</p><p> Results: SOLADEY RHYTHM 2 has a high oral hygiene effect regardless of the kind of tooth and surface, and a high rate of dental plaque removal at interproximal or cervical surfaces in particular was observed.</p><p> Conclusion: It is suggested that the sonic powered toothbrush with titanium dioxide electrode and solar panels has high dental plaque removal efficacy, and is effective for plaque control for preventing dental caries and periodontal disease.</p>
