Results

Outcomes from the three studies mentioned above demonstrate statistically significantly greater plaque removal and gingival health improvements for the Oral‐B iO toothbrush technology versus manual and sonic toothbrush controls. In addition, gingivitis case status assessments based on the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) guidelines show that over 80% of subjects using the Oral‐B iO transitioned from ‘gingivitis’ (≥10% bleeding sites) at baseline to ‘generally healthy’ (<10% bleeding sites) at week 8 in both longer‐term clinical trials, versus 24% in the manual toothbrush group and 53% in the sonic toothbrush group.

The studies conclude that this uniquely designed oscillating‐rotating electric toothbrush with a linear magnetic drive delivers significantly greater plaque removal and gingival health benefits with additional features to improve brushing experience and clinical outcomes.
