    Manual versus powered toothbrushing for oral health
    PG!Robinson, SA!Deacon, C!Deery, M!Heanue, AD!Walmsley, HV!Worthington, AM!Glenny,
    WC!Shaw Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2008 Issue 3 (Status: Unchanged)
    Copyright © 2008 The Cochrane Collaboration. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
    DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD002281.pub2!!!This version first published online: 20 April 2005 in
    Issue 2, 2005

    Plain language summary
    When compared to manual toothbrushes, powered toothbrushes with a rotation oscillation action provide protection against gum inflammation in the long and short term and better plaque removal in the short term ..... Powered toothbrushes simulate manual toothbrushing in different ways (such as moving side to side or circular motions). The review of trials found that only rotation oscillation (where brush heads rotate in one direction and then the other) is better than manual toothbrushes at removing plaque and reducing gum inflammation, and is no more likely to cause injuries to gums.


    lifted this from a lecture i was at last year. oral-b triumph dude. or the cheaper versions.

    Philips Sonicare is the one I tended to recommend most in the past but I think the Oral-B Triumph looks like it may be even better.

    both of them are in the 100 euro range. you will need to replace the heads every few months.

    Have the Oral B one, it works great. Highly recommend it. Got mine in Argos too.

    Not a problem and works for ages of a charge.

    Anyone know if the ultrasonic brushes are actually better, or is it a gimmick?
