[Comparative clinical study of efficacy of three multi-tufted short top toothbrushes with different bristle bed designs].
Three multi-tufted short-head toothbrushes were compared on 15 test persons, with respect to their efficiency in removing the plaque from margo gingivae and from the interdentium. With a different design of the bristle bed, all three brushes evidenced very little difference in the cleaning effect which, on the basis of the deliberately prescribed short cleaning time at the gingival margin, can be considered as good in respect of all teeth sections and as satisfactory in the approximal area. In individual cases, a slanted bristle bed can lead to better cleaning of the side teeth area.
