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 4 Week 2 Focus Care Areas Mean TMQHPI Efficacy Results for Evaluable Subjects

	Adjusted mean change from screening (SE)	% Change from screening^a	P-value^b
Interactive Power Brush (n = 29)	1.208 (0.0893)	38.1%	< 0.001
Manual Brush (n = 30)	0.197 (0.0526)	6.2%	0.001

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