Electronic Sonic Toothbrush
Increasingly appear on the market high-tech brushes – so-called sonic toothbrushes or “sonic toothbrush” to -: Here is the bristle head oscillates at 30,000 – 40,000 movements per minute for about 10 times faster than a normal electric, and in addition are still sideways to the minute 8800 run (Professional Care 7000).
Such oscillations have high support in addition to the cleaning effect or positive effects on the gums, while passing by “cell activation” of the ion exchange agents. Also, the toothpaste foam is due to the high vibrations better in inaccessible places – such as penetrate between the teeth – can.
As a further side effects are described by the manufacturer:
- Significant reduction of bacteria, plaque and gingivitis with regular use
- Excellent removal of stains from food and beverages (eg coffee, tobacco, red wine, tea) at low abrasiveness
- Tests on cleaning robot of the University of Munster were unable to demonstrate that faster is better, says the Pharmacy Magazine “Senior Advisor”. Sonic brush should be less aggressive, because with strong impress the vibrations diminish. “Too little pressure, but the bristles can be more swing, then damage is also possible here,” Dr. Markus Kaup criticized by the Department of Operative Dentistry in Munster. However, the manufacturer of alleged effect of the fluid flows in the mouth and thereby create reach hard to reach spaces between teeth, was not occupied.
regular or electric toothbrush?
Like shaving – wet or dry – there are also two “Weltanschaungen. Basically, with proper technique and can be achieved with the corresponding period two tools equal results.
More recently, with oscillating-rotating brushes seem characteristic of the manual toothbrushes to be superior in long-term studies.
However, “forgive” the electric rather an incorrect brushing technique, since it much automatically make “by itself”. Especially people who have been incorrectly cleaned, will do better with a tram. And you forgot one thing: learn the correct brushing technique is one thing to maintain that but also in the long run is another.
Children and young people are (almost) always prefer an electric – and older people take off the electric movements, which they often can not perform even more – and the same applies to disabled persons.
Under cost aspects, the manual toothbrushes are clearly in front, although even here the price – if one disregards the basic purchase, – converge more and more. Not that the replacement heads of the electric would be much cheaper – new manual toothbrush models casually reach the price of the electric bristle heads.
In patients with periodontal disease was found in a longitudinal study over 16 months, no difference between the two systems – provided it was cleaned in the manual toothbrush with the right technique.
Both systems – no matter which technique and stamina applied – but one can not: the tooth at any point completely clean. For this purpose, additional resources must be applied (see below) and often can eliminate only a professional teeth cleaning (PZR) at certain intervals that shortcoming.
