ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of toothbrush that has two heads instead of one, to see if it cleans teeth better and is more comfortable to use compared to a regular single-headed toothbrush. The study is focused on adult dental professionals aged 22 to 45 who have healthy gums and a certain amount of plaque buildup. Researchers want to find out if this dual-headed toothbrush removes more plaque, takes less time to use, and feels better for the user.

Participants who join will be dentists with at least 26 natural teeth, good overall health, and no serious oral health problems like gum disease or recent dental surgery. They will use both the new dual-headed toothbrush and a regular toothbrush—cleaning one side of their mouth with each type twice a day, following a specific brushing method. After the trial, they will answer questions about how comfortable and easy the toothbrushes were to use and how long it took to brush. This study is currently looking for volunteers who meet these criteria.
