About this study
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.
Read the detailed description
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). Brushing will be undertaken using the Silk'n toothbrush and standard fluoride toothpaste. The control group will use an ADA ac-cepted PTB and the same standard fluoride toothpaste.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ToothWaveDevice
Also called RF toothbrush
RF-utilizing powered toothbrush for teeth whitening
powered toothbrushDevice
regular powered toothbrush with no RF
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment - toothwave brush | Experimental | Subjects using the Silk'n ToothWave RF utilizing toothbrush Receives: Device: ToothWave |
| Control - powered toothbrush | Sham comparator | Subject using a regular powered toothbrush with no RF. Receives: Device: powered toothbrush |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Extrinsic Stains
Extrinsic Stains will be evaluated using the validated Lobene Stain Index (LSI)
Stain Intensity score range is between 0 and 3, where:
0 = no stain
- = light stain
- = moderate stain
- = heavy stain
The mean stain intensity will be calculated for both the gingival and body regions of the incisor teeth for each subject.
Stain Area score rage is between 0 and 3, where:
0 = no stain
- = stain covering up to one third of region
- = stain covering up to two thirds of region
- = stain covering more than two thirds of region
The mean stain area will be calculated for both the gingival and body regions of the incisor teeth for each subject.
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Tooth color assessment
VITA Bleachedguide 3D-Master shade guide, includes 29 shade levels defined by the American Dental Association (ADA). These shade levels represents the brightness of the tooth where 1 is the whitest and 29 is the darkest shade.
Measured: 6 weeks
