| Abstract: | Electric toothbrushes were evaluated using a model of plaque removal by fluid shear forces. Sucrose supplementation during plaque development did not affect the removal of bacteria from biofilm exposed to low-energy shear but did increase their resistance to high-energy shear. The toothbrush supplying high-energy shear forces removed significantly more viable bacteria. |
