Cochrane conclusions For the third
consecutive time, the independent, not-for-profit Cochrane Collaboration has concluded that oscillating-rotating technology – used in Oral-B power toothbrushes – is the only type of power
brush consistently proven to reduce more plaque and gingivitis versus manual brushing in the short and long term. This outcome was derived from a larger study that concluded power brushes outperform manual toothbrushing.
Core strength, core value
Diamond Core provides the dentist with a number of advantages over traditional core build-up materials.
Diamond Core is the strongest out of the Diamond range, it has a high-strength (over 200 MPa>24hr) core build up material, which is necessary to resist masticatory and parafunctional forces and for the long-term success of the structure.
Diamond Core is easy to place and does not suffer from
SnF2 makes the difference
Gum health through effective plaque control is just one of the many beneficial features of Oral-B’s Pro-Expert toothpaste and it’s the inclusion of stabilised stannous fluoride (SnF2) that makes the difference.
This powerful ingredient gives Oral-B’s Pro-Expert toothpaste a long-lasting antimicrobial action, which fights plaque and consequently gum problems. Laboratory and clinical studies have confirmed that the inclusion of stabilised stannous fluoride will inhibit antimicrobial growth as well as reduce the ability of bacteria to ‘stick’ to tooth and gum surfaces. The gum health benefits do not

stop there, thanks to the perfectly matched inclusion of sodium hexametaphosphate. This polymer protects against calculus formation, as well as staining, thereby reducing a further cause of plaque retention.
A real solution for
sensitivity Kuraray Dental has launched a new smart product to effectively treat sensitivity by forming hydroxyapatite (HAp): the human body’s strongest material. When applied, Teethmate Desensitizer creates HAp, sealing dental tubules and cracks in the enamel. Teethmate Desensitizer is indicated to prevent a variety of dentinal sensitivity challenges. The procedure is simple: mix
powder and liquid to form a slurry and rub into the affected area for 30 seconds or more. Teethmate Desensitizer is highly biocompatible, it is free of gum irritants and results are immediate and long-lasting.

The conclusions of this most recent report, published in June 2014, were derived from reviews of 56 studies published from 1964 to 2011 and included no less than seven types of power brush technologies, based on brush head movement.
More than 50 per cent of the studies reviewed, focused on oscillating-rotating technology, reinforcing the robustness of Oral-B’s body of scientific evidence versus other power brushing technologies.
