N2  - Aim: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of three manual  toothbrushes (Oral-B Exceed toothbrush, Oral-B Pulsar toothbrush and   Silver Care plus toothbrush) versus the traditional ordinary toothbrush.Results: The results showed that at the five study visits, there was  no statistically significant difference between the four toothbrushes using  either the TQHPI or the RMNPI. It showed that with all types of brushes,  there was no statistically significant change in mean TQHPI index and  mean RMNPI index by time. It also showed that there was a significant   positive (direct) correlation between the two plaque indices used. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference in  the mean RMNPI index and mean TQHPI index values between the 3  types of manual toothbrushes compared to the ordinary one in the 5  subsequent visits and there was a statistically significant positive   correlation between the two indices used in measuring plaque.
