现在市场上有各种各样的电动牙刷 (PTB)，每种产品的功效通常是在一个或一系列对照临床试验中确定的。本文简要回顾了 PTB 的设计、一些建议的使用适应症以及已发表的这些产品研究的主要观察结果。讨论了涉及 PTB 的试验的监管和设计的重要问题，并提出了一些建议，以开发一种更加结构化的方法来测试这些产品。
There is now a vast range of powered toothbrushes (PTBs) available on the market and the efficacy of each product is usually determined in one, or a series of controlled clinical trials. This article reviews briefly the design of PTBs, some of the proposed indications for their use, and the principal observations from published studies of these products. The important issues regarding the regulation and design of trials involving PTBs are discussed and some recommendations are proposed with a view to developing a more structured approach to testing these products.
