简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of a plaque removal by triple-headed manual toothbrush by comparing changes in Rustogi Modifiye Navy Plaque Index.
Participants will be divided into two groups and will be made to brush with different designed toothbrushes.
The researchers will compare the plaque removal efficiency of the brushes by comparing the changes in the plaque index of the intervention and control groups before and after brushing.

结局指标
主要结局
Rustogi Modifiye Navy Plaque Index
