ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how effective different types of toothbrushes are for children aged 2 to 12 in keeping their teeth clean and healthy. Specifically, the study will compare regular manual toothbrushes with special 360-degree bristle toothbrushes to see which one does a better job at reducing dental plaque and improving oral hygiene.

To participate in this study, children must be healthy, without any serious dental issues or ongoing orthodontic treatments like braces. Parents and guardians will need to agree to let their children join the trial. If selected, families can expect to learn more about the best ways to keep their kids' teeth clean while helping researchers understand how different toothbrush designs work. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you’re interested, it’s a great opportunity to contribute to important dental health research!
