A comparative assessment of plaque removal and toothbrushing compliance between a manual and an interactive power toothbrush among adolescents: a single-center, single-blind randomized controlled trial

Table 3 Week 2 Whole Mouth Mean TMQHPI Efficacy Results for Evaluable Subjects

	Adjusted mean change from baseline (SE)	% Change from baseline^a	P-value^b
Interactive Power Brush (n = 29)	0.865 (0.0587)	34.0%	< 0.001
Manual Brush (n = 30)	0.044 (0.0363)	1.7%	0.231

TMQHPI Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index; SE standard error; % = percentage
^a% change from baseline = 100% (Adjusted mean change divided by overall baseline mean)
^bWithin brush difference from baseline TMQHPI was tested versus zero using the ANCOVA model with unequal variances
