Official title

The Effects of Using the Sulcular Bristle Tip Technique (SBTT) With an Electric Toothbrush in Reducing Bleeding on Probing and Plaque Removal: A Randomized Control Clinical Trial

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

In this study, all subjects will be given an electric toothbrush. Half of the participants will be instructed on how to use the Sulcular Bristle Tip Technique (SBTT). The other half of participants will be asked to follow the brushing instructions in the user manual. The study's primary aim is to compare the use of the SBTT with an electric toothbrush in reducing bleeding on probing with the use of an electric toothbrush used without personal professional instruction.
