The efficacy of powered toothbrushes :-A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Within the limitations of the present study design, based on the outcome following a single brushing action, it can be concluded that for dental plaque removal there is a high certainty for a small effect of a PTB over an MTB. This supports the recommendation to use a powered toothbrush for daily plaque removal. There is moderate certainty for a very small benefit for the use of a powered toothbrush with an OR over an HFS mode of action.
