CLINICAL TRIALS
We have put ToothWave through an extensive investigative process, that included laboratory experiments as well as 5 clinical studies, all of which established the safety and efficacy of ToothWave.
Clinically proven:
ToothWave reduces calculus and gingivitis
In conclusion, the ToothWave novel toothbrush demonstrated statistically significant reductions in dental plaque, calculus, gingival bleeding and inflammation compared to a conventional power toothbrush.
Figure 5: Calculus Score (VMI) is reduced in the treatment group and was increased in the control group during the test phase of the study (*p=0.009; **p=0.05)
Figure 3: Gingival Inflammation (MGI) is significantly lower in the treatment group as compared to the control group following 4 and 6 weeks of brushing (*p=0.001, **p=0.003).

CLINICALLY PROVEN:
TOOTHWAVE REDUCES TEETH STAINS AND IMPROVES TEETH SHADE
Discussion
Extrinsic stains and impurities that are attached to the teeth surface can rarely be removed by regular brushing (including both manual and powered toothbrushes). However, in the current study, we demonstrated that the ToothWaveTM toothbrush provided a significant reduction in extrinsic dental stains and whitening of teeth shade as measured by the LSI and VITA bleached guide scales.
The improvement seen in the efficacy measures was found to be significantly greater in the ToothWaveTM group as compared to the to the control.
Discussion
The ToothWaveTM toothbrush is shown to produce a significant reduction in extrinsic dental stains and to achieve improved (and statistically significant) whitening of the teeth shade following 6 weeks of brushing. These benefits were shown to be significantly greater as compared to a control powered toothbrush and are attributed to the RF feature that is uniquely utilized by the ToothWaveTM brush.

Figure 6: Lobene Stain Index (LSI) is significantly lower in the treatment group as compared to the control group following 4 and 6 weeks of brushing (*p<0.001).
Figure 7: Shade Score Lower shade scores (indicating on a whiter shade) were measured in the treatment group as compared to the control group following 4 and 6 weeks of brushing (*p=0.07, **p=0.024 ), using the Vita Bleached guide 3D Master scale.

The science in DentalRF technology of ToothWave
The oral health improvements from this human clinical study provide positive evidence to support the RF mechanism as a beneficial feature that is uniquely utilized by the ToothWave power toothbrush.
We hypothesize that by changing the local charges around the tooth, the alternating electrical current is able
to disturb the electro-chemical balance on the tooth surface and remove substances (i.e., calculus, stains)
that are otherwise attached strongly to the enamel layer.
