We’ve always suspected the power toothbrushes are something of a scam, but the Cochrane Collaboration, “an international nonprofit organization that compiles and reviews data from healthcare studies”, has reviewed 37 years of data from clinical trials, and determined that rotational oscillation toothbrushes, like the Braun Oral-B (pictured at right), are the best at keeping your teeth clean:
Rotational oscillation toothbrushes — those that rotate in one direction and then the other — removed up to 11 percent more plaque and reduced bleeding of the gums by up to 17 percent more than manual or other power toothbrushes.
