Manual and Automatic Toothbrushes

Brushing is imperative and soft or medium toothbrushes are recommended. Small heads are useful because they allow better access. Automatic toothbrushes effectively disturb biofilm and are particularly useful for formerly edentulous patients.  Patients need to reach towards the implants, which may be more lingual than the contour of a tooth.  They also need to bemade aware of the implant locations, which may not be obvious for multiple unit bridges.
