Can you point me to a study that shows that electric toothbrushes work better than manual ones? Last time i looked (a long time ago), they were still equal.

One negative: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020653920329932 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002065392... > The results of this study shows no evidence of statistically significant difference in respect to plaque control, between Jordan Power electric toothbrush and either of Oral-B Advantage or Panbehriz Classic manual brushes in a group of dental students after 2 weeks. I'm sure you can find many more of both
- secondcoming 4y agoIt's not a study, but the last time I was at the dentist, he asked me what I used to clean my teeth since I had pretty much zero plaque. Philips Sonicare.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoI think whether you have plaque is more of a function of what you eat and that you brush consistently at all. I don't have plaque either.
- Freak_NL 4y agoOur dentist definitely noticed (in a good way) when my partner and I switched to electric. For a holiday trip there's little point in bringing an electric tooth brush along though, unless you are going for months rather than days or weeks.
