Sonic and mechanical toothbrushes. An in vitro study showing altered microbial surface structures but lack of effect on viability

The purpose of the present study was to compare the in vitro effects of a mechanical and a sonic toothbrush on the viability of Actinomyces viscosus, the rationale being that induction of irreparable microbial damage resulting from aggressive mechanical action or sonic energy, may inhibit or disrupt...
