Jonisk tandborste - så här funkar det

I placket på tänderna (och även i din mat) finns bakterier som producerar syra som ger dålig andedräkt, karies och tandköttsproblem. Saliven neutraliserar normalt denna syra, men då plack byggs upp börjar det fungera som en barriär och förhindrar saliven att komma åt.

Canadian Trial
A blind, two-way crossover clinical trial was carried out by the College of Dentistry, University of Saskatchewan, Canada with 80 high school children of both sexes aged 13-16 years. The aim of the study was to compare the plaque removing ability of the Soladey toothbrush with a toothbrush of identical appearance but with an imitation bar made of synthetic resin (control brush) in place of the semi-conductor. Both groups were advised to use the brushes according to manufacturer's instructions for a period of 3 weeks using a small amount of a standard toothpaste which was provided.

The results of this study indicate that the Soladey toothbrush had better plaque removing ability, especially on the buccal surfaces of all teeth, than the control brush without the semi-conductor.

Japanese Trial
A study was carried out by the Department of Preventative and Community Dentistry, Nippon Dental University at Tokyo with 60 adult female subjects who were dental hygiene school students. One group (32) used the Soladey and another (28) used a conventional toothbrush (control). The subjects' oral conditions were examined 1, 2 and 3 weeks later using five standardised tests.

After the third week there was a significant improvement in gingivitis and oral cleanliness in the group using the Soladey compared with the control group.
