Safety and Efficacy of the ToothWave Power Toothbrush for Extrinsic Stain Reduction

This study is a single blind, prospective study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Silk'n ToothWave Power Toothbrush for stains reduction and improvement of teeth shade.

The study includes 84 treatment sessions, twice a day, and 4 clinic visits over a period of 6 weeks.

One treatment group (Silk'n power toothbrush - ToothWave) and 1 control group (an ADA approved power toothbrush (PTB)) will participate in the study.

For each patient, efficacy assessment data will be collected at baseline, 4 weeks, and at 6 weeks. The average stain data will be calculated for each group.

Treatment is defined as a timed, 2 minute brushing of the teeth according to the manufactur-er's instructions, twice daily (morning and evening).
