["Denta-Solar"--clinical study of new toothbrush with integrated TiO2 semi-conductor].

Abstract

The aim of this work is to answer the question as to whether the TiO2 semiconductor integrated into the toothbrush "Denta-Sola" has any effect on the removal of plaque. The clinical study shows that the Silness/Löe and Quigley/Hein plaque indices improved when the "Denta-Solar" was used over a four-week study period, whereas they deteriorated when the toothbrush was used without the semiconductor.
