Resumen del manual
Since a power brush generates more strokes per minute than a manual brush, the individual may remove more biofilm in the same amount of brushing time.3 Because there are different types of units available, be sure to review the manufacturer’s complete instruction guide PRIOR to recommending or demonstrating the product. Recommending and instructing is easier if you have read all instructions and tried the product yourself. Oral Health Outcomes A toothbrush is the most frequently used self-care device. Yet the ability to effectively remove biofilm with a toothbrush varies from person to person. For the last several years, power toothbrushes have become an integral recommendation to improve biofilm control. There is a growing body of evidence on products currently available, which show when compared to a manual toothbrush, many power toothbrushes are:1,2,3,4,6,10,11,12 • Superior at removing biofilm • Effective at reducing gingivitis • Likely to enhance stain removal • As safe as a manual brush for soft and hard tissue • Well-liked and even preferred by individuals Waterpik® Power Toothbrushes Waterpik Technologies entered the power toothbrush market more than thirty years ago. From the original Touch-Tronic® toothbrush to today’s SynchroSonic™ Plus advanced action sonic plaque removal system, Waterpik® rechargeable power brushes remove biofilm and reduce bleeding better than a manual toothbrush.15,16,18 Vibe® Electric Toothbrush The Vibe® toothbrush is quiet and small enough to take everywhere. See Figure 2. Up to 15,000 brush strokes per minute clean better than a manual toothbrush.19 Features include: • Gentle side-to-side vibrating brushing action • Ergonomically designed for ease and comfort • Disposable, like a manual brush. No need to replace batteries or brush heads • Internal battery lasts up to six months • Includes a handy travel brush cover • Available in four colors Figure 2 SenSonic® High Performance Sonic Plaque Remover The SenSonic® toothbrush is a brush with state-of-the-art sonic technology producing 30,000 gentle brush strokes per minute. See Figure 3. It has a soft, compact, contoured brush head design, electronic feedback system that automatically adjusts speed to maintain peak performance, a power indicator light, and a dishwasher safe, easy to clean storage carousel. Several clinical trials Figure 3 have been conducted on the SenSonic® toothbrush including studies that show its ability to alter bacteria, reduce biofilm, stain, and gingivitis, and equivalency to the Sonicare® toothbrush.13,14,15,16,17 Ability to alter bacteria • Blanco and co-workers showed that exposure to the sonic frequency generated by the SenSonic® toothbrush severely disrupted the structural integrity of the periodontal pathogen, T denticola (spirochetes).13 “No longer are power toothbrushes considered only for special needs clients, but rather the logical choice for all adult and child clients. Cost is no longer an issue because prices of deluxe models are lower than ever, and low cost battery operated “No longer are power toothbrushes considered only for special needs clients, but rather the logical choice for all adult and child clients. Cost is no longer an issue because prices of deluxe models are lower than ever, and low cost battery operated • MacNeill et al found that sonic energy from the SenSonic® toothbrush severely shortened and/or removed fimbriae from the cell walls of A viscosus. The researchers observed that these study findings were consistent with previous studies on other sonic brushes that have examined the effect of sonic energy on bacteria.14 Biofilm, stain, gingivitis reductions • Barnes and others demonstrated that the SenSonic® toothbrush showed statistically significant reductions in both biofilm and gingivitis after four weeks use.15 • Hefferren showed that the SenSonic® toothbrush is effective at reducing both existing stain (of one year’s duration) and that induced by diet - after just one minute of brushing.17 Comparison to Sonicare® toothbrush • Zimmer and co-workers compared a manual brush to the SenSonic® toothbrush and Sonicare® toothbrush and found both sonic brushes were more effective in removing biofilm and reducing gingivitis than the manual toothbrush. 16 The chart below highlights the percent reductions from baseline for each of the brushes in the study: Percent Reductions from Baseline16 BIOFILM APPROXIMAL PAPILLARY INDEX BIOFILM INDEX BLEEDING INDEX SenSonic® toothbrush 52.5% 75.9% 82.9%* Sonicare® toothbrush 48.3% 74.6% 87.5%* Manual toothbrush 10% 17.4% 52.5% *Both the SenSonic® toothbrush and the Sonicare® toothbrush reduced bleeding to nearly the same level, 0.06 and 0.07 respectively. However, the Sonicare® toothbrush started with a higher baseline reading than the SenSonic® toothbrush, 0.56 versus 0.35 respectively.16 SynchroSonic™ Plus Advanced Action Sonic Plaque Remover The SyncroSonic™ Plus toothbrush is the first affordable, dual motor sonic plaque removal syste...
